Country music recording artist Dwayne O'Brien performed his song "We Remember" (available on the CD "Song Pilot" at www.flightsongrecords.mybigcommerce.com) at the annual convention of the International Council of Air Shows last December in Las Vegas, Nevada. And he produced this video to be projected on the screens behind him while he sang. We hope that you'll share this link widely with friends and family who appreciate America's aviation legacy and all that our country's airborne warriors have done to defend our country. Many thanks to Dwayne O'Brien for both performing his wonderful song and producing this moving video.

Here is an old song appropriate for TODAY!

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR

© 1941
Lyrics: Don Reid, Sammy Kaye, Music: Don Reid

Sheet Music:

Recordings:
CD:

History in ev’ry century
Records an act that lives forevermore.
We’ll recall, as into 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.

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

[zipper]

I remember — every day.

Thanks.

(ahem)

With salt-filled tears, and emotions from those years,
I thank Mr. Dwayne for his work.

T’was with pride, honor, and diligence of work,
I, naught, did duty shirk.

T’was my honor to keep those machines alight,
Tuned, tweaked, tested, and ready for a fight.

From the hissing, snarling gases of a ‘start cart’,
To the thumping, banging alignment of that radar dish,
All to fly, and launch that Sparrow dart,
To see the opposing aircraft blow, and fall apart.

To gaze upon my Phantoms, dear,
The morning smell, and the whines to the ear,
As those Phantoms were awakened,
Was worth every other moment of life,
forsaken.

When America was strong, and WAS the land of the free,
Those moments, those flightcrews, protected you and me.
