Marines at
Ewa Marine Air Corps Station
"The battleships had all taken torpedoes and were on fire, dark black smoke sky high and sailors in the water with burning oil all around them. Boats were coming to our pier bringing the dead and the wounded. Some had missing limbs, others burned and flesh hanging over their belts."
---Carlos Barrera, Survivor  USS Argonne
"I passed the mess hall, which had taken a direct hit. I saw smoke and firemen stumbling out from the devastation. I saw a friend of mine pulling a wounded man from the building. When I later read the names on the casualty list, I found my friend among those who died. I could not help but speculate he might have survived had he not elected to remain to help other wounded."
---Eugene E. Wilson, Survivor - Hickam Field
