"We all made for cover ... in the kitchen. After the firing stopped, I saw a hand rise up, pick up a spatula, and turn over two eggs frying on the range, then replace the spatula and again disappear. When it seemed the attack was over, I grabbed a plate and claimed the eggs and sat down to eat my breakfast." ---J.K. Cowdery, Survivor - Schofield Barracks |
"I remember a Japanese plane flying over our town in the direction of the harbor. The plane was flying so low and slow that I had a clear look at the pilot. He had the most determined expression on his face that I can ever remember.... my mother said she could have reached up and shook hands with the pilots." ---Bill Freudenthal, 5-year-old boy at the time of the attack |
"For three days we unloaded trucks, bringing in pine boxes containing bodies and parts of bodies. The stench was unbearable, and it took months before I really thought I was rid of the smell." ---Truett L. Davis, Survivor USS Utah |
