"Remember Pearl Harbor", the song and the saying, went in to history as the quintessential slogan and battle cry of World War II.
The SongHistory - in every century, records an act that lives forevermore. We'll recall - as in to line we fall, the thing that happened on Hawaii's shore. Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR - As we go to meet the foe - Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR As we did the Alamo. We will always remember - how they died for liberty, Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR and go on to victory. Another tremendously popular song at the times was; "Praise The Lord and Pass the Ammunition". |
