Famous Quotes About Pearl Harbor

A quote that was later used in a song to help boost morale was one used by the cruiser New Orleans' Chaplain, Lieutenant (jg) Howell M. Forgy. Because they were in dock, there was little steam or electrical power, and the ammunition for the guns had to hand carried to the guns. Although prohibited from taking part in the actual fighting, he moved along the line of men and exhorted them to "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition".

"The lyrics and chords of the song, "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition," written by Frank Leosser in 1942, became one of the World War II anthems that inspired a generation of Americans in the most destructive war in human history." -- Sunday in Hell: Pearl Harbor Minute by Minute, Bill McWilliams.

Of course, it probably wasn't mentioned in the main article because it's religious in nature, and everyone knows how the media is on a jihad to destroy American religions...

"December 7, 1941....a date that will live in infamy". Remembering those that
lost their lives on that dreadful day. Thank you to all those that have
served and are serving today. You will always be appreciated.The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial
Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the
morning of December 7, 1941. The base was attacked by 353 Japanese fighters,
bombers and torpedo planes in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers.
All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four being sunk. All but two of the
eight were raised, repaired and returned to service later in the war. The Japanese
also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship,
and one minelayer. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed
and 1,282 wounded. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget subs
lost, and 65 servicemen killed or wounded. One Japanese sailor was captured.
The attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to
the American entry into World War II. The following day the United States declared
war on Japan. President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed December 7, 1941,
"a date which will live in infamy". Terrorists have various causes, but they share a
common weapon - fear. We don’t have to fear because Jesus defeated death and the
Devil when He died on the cross, was buried and rose again the third day.
FDR said “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Will you overcome your fear by
accepting Jesus death on the cross as payment for the penalty of your sin. Then you
can have peace with God. You can do this by praying a similar prayer: Knowing I have
sinned (lied, stolen, coveted [wanted something someone else has], & been angry
[same as murder], and believing Christ died for my sins, I open the door of my heart
and receive Jesus as my personal LORD and Savior.

The World Powers still try to blame everything on the Jews, but they are God's chosen people.

31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

36 “This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. 37 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.

39 “After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.

We are seeing these scriptures fulfilled right before our eyes. The Israeli nation was founded in 1948 and the whole world is turning against them. The Rock (Jesus Christ the Lord) is about to be thrown down and set up a kingdom that will never end.
