- Seventy-five years ago, on December 7, 1941, war came to a remote Pacific outpost, and forced an isolationist nation to rise as a global superpower. Lee Cowan talks with survivors of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
My mothers friend was on the USS Tennessee when Pearl was attacked.. He lived for 99 years. He was also on the USS Missouri when Japanese surrendered.
Wow.
Cool! What was his name?

My dad fought in the Pacific against the Japanese on a navy destroyer the USS Sproston so I am familiar with many many battles. He died 6 years ago at age 90 Harry McMahon was his name. RIP Dad !
RIP Harry McMahon, Thank you for your service Sir!
John E. Roberts Salute ! From a Marine.
Aww, that's sad, RIP Harry McMahon
don't care
Standing over the USS Arizona was and always will be one of the most humbling experiences i will encounter.
My grandfather was on the California. He would never talk about it much. He told me a few weeks before he died that he had been on 'body detail'. He was charged with gathering, identifying and logging the dead. He said you could hear the men trapped in ships, beating and screaming for 3 days afterward, begging to be rescued. Most never were.
Many thanks to our veterans who have served and lost their lives on this horrific day🇺🇸🇺🇸. Pearl Harbor 🇺🇸🇺🇸
we should always remember this day forever. so sad that this generation doesn't know this history.
We will never forget
Who’s here, December 7, 2018, watching to remember those who have fallen, and those who have gone on to live to tell the tale of such a horrific event in our history.
@Moriah Hollywood 🤔? Was Moriah gay by the way ummm excuse me I mean a Les? When Trump continues in 2021 all women will be treated as they have always been treated with respect, America like everyone else who's a citizen stop watching the Rosie O'Donnell propaganda against men you know when Obama was President women were not doing so well today they flourish even better economically than a lot of men God bless President Trump for making a difference even if some of you women don't approve because Hillary did not care or cares about women at all she's too busy hating men. 🇺🇸
78 years gone by now... R.I.P. uncle Wilbur Pitzer.
Godbless those who fight with all their might on December 7 1941 we should NEVER Forget! 🤗
In 2021, it will be the 80 year anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Wow. How time flies.
It’s so important to record these . True And keep them in good condition
My uncle and mother were at Mass when this happened. The priest announced it. My uncle Jim ran home and ripped up a copy of "Japanese Sandman" and threw it in the fireplace. True story.
There's a reason for that phrase The Greatest Generation, because they were. My father in law joined the Navy on 12/8/41 he was 16. By early 1942 he was a torpedo man in the destroyer escort fleet doing convoy duty in the North Atlantic. Made 37 passages of the canal seeing Naval combat in both the Atlantic & Pacific theaters. My brother's father in law was USMC in WWII, and survived Tarawa & Saipan. We miss you Brownie & Norm. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
It's actually sad that how many young people (under 30yrs old) that do not know facts from their nation's history or that from around the world.
Even with 9/11, todays teenagers only know what they "may have heard" about that tragic day.
It will be 75 years 12/07/16 and why documenting stories like these are important - to be passed on, taught and remembered. I'm almost 28 now and my grandfather was at Pearl Harbor. I've come to appreciate studying American history in my spare time the past couple years. But I wouldn't hold it against young people not grasping onto history early in life, youth is primarily about living in the present, figuring yourself out and setting up a fountain for the future. Similar situation to those men who signed up for the Navy and were stationed at Pearl Harbor that day. I would counter to say that it's actually amazing how much young people do know with whats readily available to them with things like Wikipedia and and history podcasts.
Eric Berard - But, the problem with young people not knowing or not wanting to learn is... quite a few of them are the same people in the streets protesting this or that thinking they know whats going on in the world. There are plenty of videos by varous people interviewing or questioning college kids about relevant subjucts like...
"Who is the current Vice President of the US?"
"Name any one of the nine Supreme Court Justices?"
"Name one of the two Senators from your state?"
But, those same people could probably name the Top 10 Music Artists from the past 5 years.
It's just sad. These are our future leaders.

My dream one day is to make it to Pearl harbor and pay my respects to the heroes still entombed on the USS Arizona... As a Navy veteran myself... Pearl harbor is hallowed ground.
My father was on Guam in the Army Air Medical Corp. he saw death on a daily basis and returned home a different person !!
One of my high-school teachers had a father who served in the Army Air Medical Corp. as a medic, in the Pacific during WW2. Can you imagine the things he saw???
it was my great grandmas 22nd birthday when pearl harbor happened
Same I'm here for school, but it is very intersting
Wally was in great shape. My idol and hero.
My dad was in 2 Iraq Wars, and 2 Afghanistan Wars. Yet he is still alive. He each gave us flags that was flown for us. The best dad ever
Edit: D'Amelio? Charli D'Amelio confirmed? lol
Wow!
Such a paradise for a war front... Bless the fallen & friends & family. "O my Lord!" "dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount." ~ Baha'i Faith

My grandma a few years ago on the anniversary told me her first cousin was among the sailors killed, she only knew it wasn't on the Arizona. Researched and found he was one of the 400 killed on the Oklahoma. Was also that same time I learned my Grandpa was part of the forces that landed in Normandy. First day of Infamy, wasn't until a few years ago I knew how close it hit to my family.
Be Proud. Thank you for sharing.
YES BE PROUD,i know of 3 of my friends and co=worker whose father or grandfather was in battle of the bulge,my father was in ww2 navy the japanese war he is dead now
@@noemibarrios4056 Thank you to your relatives for serving in the Big War. My maternal grandfather served in WW2 also, but at the time (ahem), he was considered to be on the wrong side. My mother is originally from Wiesbaden, and her father was in his mid 30s when he was drafted into the Wehrmacht. He hated every minute of it, I'm told. He served as a Payroll Master, and was stationed in the Soviet Union and Holland, where he was captured by Canadians, then repatriated after a month. I have a lot of pictures that were taken during the war years, my mom and her 2 young sisters, her mother, and my grandfather, looking sharp in his uniform, with a rifle slung over his shoulder, his Stahlhelm and jackboots shining. He came home from the war safe and sound, but it did leave him with PTSD. Mom said he would have temper explosions that came out of nowhere, quite often. He died from natural causes in 1981. My grandmother passed away in 2003.
the thing that sucks about the future is that we wont have these people to tell the stories
We have video interviews with them. The wars such as the days of William Wallace and those eras of wars are what's lost. WW1 and beyond are saved thankfully
It would be so neat to go see the Arizona / Pearl Harbor Memorial. I enjoyed learning about the Attack on Pearl Harbor. It's interesting to think that this is still the same war that Hitler had built his concentration camps in. There are so many different parts to this war, it'd be so cool to go to the different memorials and major WWII sites. It would be so sad and solemm, though.
That has always been a wish of mine, to visit the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor, before I get too old & decrepit. With each passing year, more and more WW2 veterans pass away, and with them, their memories and experiences that the younger generation of kids could benefit from greatly, instead of just reading a book, you can hear about it from someone who was actually there, a witness to history. Even though I was born in the US, there is more German blood in me than American. My mother was born in Wiesbaden, and grew up during WW2. She remembers the air raids, the sirens going off and having to run to the basement. She remembers her father coming home on leave, his jackboots were so shiny, she could see her reflection in them. Her father was in his mid 30s when he was drafted into the Wehrmacht, much against his will. He was a family man, and his only wish was to come home to his wife and 3 little daughters. He was a Payroll Master, and served in WW2 for 5 years. My mother was very young, so she doesn't remember too much, but she said that her father served in the Soviet Union and Holland. My maternal grandmother (Oma) had her hands full, taking care of 3 little girls and keeping the household in good shape. Oma would listen to the BBC (which was verboten), to find out what was really going on during the war, and when the next bombing raids were scheduled. If she had been caught, she would have gone to jail. I have my grandparent's gold wedding rings, from when they got married in 1936, and pictures that were taken during the war years. Mom's family was very lucky, compared to other people. Their house was never hit by a bomb, Opa was captured in Holland by the Canadians, not the Soviets, and after the war, Wiesbaden was in the American sector, not the Soviet sector.
Mom said once, that the American soldiers were the kindest people she had ever met.
WW2 was such a big event, involved so many people, and re-drew the map, and it boggles my mind that so many kids these days show no interest in it.
That s what my dad told me my growing up years. "FORGET ABOUT IT AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE..." His brother (my Uncle)as well.....both were in Europe seeing battles both in Germany and France.... Got bits and pieces out of my dad over YEARS of growing up. Once I heard what he went through...I realized WHY they didn t want to talk about it....war is NOTHING good or honorable....
but we are all here due to their efforts.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
My U.S History teacher lost 2 uncles on Pearl Harbor.
Word to the wise...
Embarrassing that this isn't taught. Should be a national holiday
Really that woman was 80?
Rip
I was there last week, my friend lives a mile away
Does anyone have to write a summary for this in history ?
I was her age on 9/11. I remember people kept making parallels. But those numbers lost seem so small now compared to what we're losing daily now to COVID.
This isn’t as dramatic as the history videos I’m used to
i live in kota bharu right now...
Most of the civilian casualties in the attack were the result of friendly fire.
Quite a few of those killed were under the age of 18. One was 3 months old.
But why did they attack the Pearl Harbor I don't get it where the Americans mean or the japan people did not like them I do not get it TELL ME
The Japanese were about to attack South East Asia, but United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United State technically owned some of those territories. Most of the European powers couldn't do much to stop Japan considering how far they are, and Nazi Germany was wrecking shit up. So at the time the biggest threat to them was the U.S Pacific fleet. Which was stationed in Hawaii. So if they took the the U.S Pacific fleet they could launch their invasions of a lot south east asian countries and set up their defenses before the Americans counter attacked.
Protoman But that's only part of it. The other half was because the Incumbent U.S President enacted sanctions on Japan. These mostly included raw materials but the big one was oil. Japan imports about 60% of its oil from the U.S at the time and without oil ships, planes, tanks, and cars don't move. So the Japanese realized they had sixth months of oil left in reserves. They decided to attack the U.S Pacific Fleet so they could conquer oil rich territory and Nations in the South Pacific without the U.S interfering.
Pearl Harbor would've been your regular place if the Japanese attack didn't happen, There actually were efforts to prevent it from happening by convincing the then emperor of that country Hirohito not to interfere with our daily business by Roosevelt himself but unfortunately it was in vain.
The same thing with New York City when 9/11 happened 60 years later, If Al Qaeda didn't make that daring choice to bring down the World Trade Center and other targets like the Pentagon
USS JFK BIG JON RIP
Anyone here for school
Aye.
I feel no remorse for Nagasaki nor Hiroshima.
Well. Hiroshima was the HQ of what remained of the japanese navy and their third army. But it was a massive overkill since the yanks only lost 2500 at pH
@@mattep74 what is pH if you don't mind me asking.
@@achillesbuilds2432 Pearl harbor ofcourse
@@mattep74 war doesn't care about equality. The US was minding their own business during a holiday. Japan made a self inflicted mistake as far as I'm m concerned. Are you from the UK? Asking because that region calls us yanks lol. In the US us southerners call northerners "Yankees" and don't see ourselves as yanks 😂😂😂. To many parts of the world we're the same, but here we see each other differently. I suppose it's that way in many areas of the world as well.
Remember Pearl Harbor, remember the atrocities and never forget.
How profound
Yes America had racist views about the Japanese. But the Japanese had equally racist views of the Americans. Racism is pretty much a world wide phenomena, now, as it was then.
fuck yourself
You just said something even the racist do not understand ! I can see racism in the liberals who are calling me a bigot for not agreeing with there welfare society ! This is the reason why are borders are being over run !
I don't even know what pearl harbor is
I HAVE AN... FINISH THE REST
Abe Lopez young people died for what wat a tragedy
School also like if you love your mom cuz I do
the person who started that war was stupid i know his name but i forgot :(
Arantxa E How can you say you no his name...Then say you forgot...
Adolf Hitler? Or are you implying that humans are stupid for letting this whole thing happen.
His name was Winston Churchill.
Hirohito.
World War 2 started due to the poor treatment of Germany after WW1. Hitler took advantage of the depression and inflation happening in Germany.
Giant ants did it..🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🦟🦟🦂🦂🐜🐜🐜🐛🐝🐝
japan : we are victim of nuclear bomb by america empire
Remember Hiroshima?
Attack on Pearl Harbor was prophesied by God in the Quran 105:1-5. "People of the Elephant" refers to United States military , and the "swarms of bird" refers to the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.
And the one chosen to explain such truth and authenticity is none other but Elias himself, the reincarnated Elijah, by God's authority. Moreover such matter is verified by God's Signature, the Miracle Mathematical Code 19, that bears God's attributes, the First(1) and the Last(9), Alpha(1) and Omega(9), the Beginning(1) and the End(9), the Outermost(1) and the Innermost(9).
Ponder over God's Word from the Quran, together with Proof from Him.
[105:1] Have you noted what your Lord did to the people of the elephant?
* Coordinates for United States = 40°N 100°W = 40°N(50) 100°W(6) = 40°50 100°6
[105:2] Did He not cause their schemes to backfire?
[105:3] He sent upon them swarms of birds.
* Coordinates for Empire of Japan = 35°41′N 139°46′E = 35°41′N(50) 139°46′E(10)
= 35°41′50 139°46′10
* Date of Attack = December 7, 1941 = 1271941.0
* Coordinates for Pearl Harbor = 21.364°N 157.952°W = 21.364°N(50) 157.952°W(6)
= 21.364°50 157.952°6
[105:4] That showered them with hard stones.
[105:5] He made them like chewed up hay.
[25:6] Say, "This was revealed by the One who knows the Secret* in the heavens and the earth. He is Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[7:35] O children of Adam, when messengers come to you from among you, and recite My revelations to you, those who take heed and lead a righteous life, will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
[62:2] He is the One who sent to the gentiles a messenger from among them, to recite to them His revelations, purify them, and teach them the scripture and wisdom. Before this, they had gone far astray.
[2:242] God thus explains His revelations for you, that you may understand.
