I would like to take this opportunity to thank the survivors and their families for sharing their stories with me, and with the readers. Because of my two websites, I have had the opportunity to meet people, share memories, and form lasting friendships. God bless my new friends and their families. ---Rebecca Johnson |

"Remember Pearl Harbor" An original poem written by Trina R. McCurdy Grand-Daughter of Survivor, Russell J. McCurdy |

"I can remember the sound of exploding bombs, the whine of planes, the fragments of exploding ships and great billows of black smoke everywhere. We were gripped by shock, fear, and anger." ---Mary Ann Ramsey, Pearl Harbor Survivor |
"A wave of Japanese torpedo bombers came in low, strafing the hangars and the aircraft parked in the runway. The only gun I had was my .45 automatic and 21 rounds of ammunition. I was the only one out there, so I did what came naturally. I shot at them. This may have been the first shots fired in defense of Pearl Harbor." "The Japs had cut our water supply and we had no water to cool that gun so, we ran to a Coke machine, grabbed enough bottles of Coca Cola to fill the water tank reservoir of that machine gun and started firing away." ---Wilfred J. Toczko, Sr., Hickam Field |
"My most vivid memory is standing on the fantail of the Honolulu overlooking the devastation in the harbor and wondering how long it would take to recover from the shock. I never doubted that the U.S. would wind up victorious, but I thought I might spend the rest of my life in the effort." ---James C. Hardwick, Survivor - USS Honolulu |
