REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR

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

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
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.
Well worth watching and appropriate that it was posted today. Thank you.
I wish my screen wasn’t so blurry, else I could thank you for posting this!
