  11. Pearl Harbor > Live KTU broadcast from Hawaii during the attack Reporter: Hello, NBC. Hello, NBC. This is KTU in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am speaking from the roof of the Advertiser Publishing Company Building. We have witnessed this morning the distant view a brief full battle of Pearl Harbor and the severe bombing of Pearl Harbor by enemy planes, undoubtedly Japanese. The city of Honolulu has also been attacked and considerable damage done. This battle has been going on for nearly three hours. One of the bombs dropped within fifty feet of KTU tower. It is no joke. It is a real war. The public of Honolulu has been advised to keep in their homes and away from the Army and Navy. There has been serious fighting going on in the air and in the sea. The heavy shooting seems to be . . . a little interruption. We cannot estimate just how much damage has been done, but it has been a very severe attack. The Navy and Army appear now to have the air and the sea under control. Operator: Ah, just a minute. . . . This is the telephone company. This is the operator. Reporter: Yes.

  29. Front Lines > War in the Pacific from the soldiers’ point of view U.S. Marine, Guam, 1944 This foxhole is about two feet deep. Now, I would like to be able to speak louder and with more clarity, but unfortunately, the slightest noise, the slightest rustle, will draw fire not only from the Japanese, who are someplace, perhaps, in the dense foliage around us or up on the ridge, but from our own Marines who are huddled nearby in foxholes like this one. I don’t know how they [the Japanese] do it. We can lie here absolutely breathless listening to the slightest sounds and not see anything—in fact, not hear anything—and then we wake up and find that they’re all around us. And it’s a very tough and tedious job to root them out, [inaudible] them and exterminate them. We lost quite a few people in our unit. A very popular captain was killed. Yoshida Kashichi, Guadalcanal, 1942 No matter how far we walk We don’t know where we’re going Trudging along under dark jungle growth When will this march end? Hide during the day Move at night Deep in the lush Guadalcanal jungle Our rice is gone Eating roots and grass Along the ridges and cliffs Leaves hide the trail, we lose our way Stumble and get up, fall and get up Covered with mud from our falls Blood oozes from our wounds No cloth to bind our cuts Flies swarm to the scabs No strength to brush them away Fall down and cannot move How many times I’ve thought of suicide.
