KEEP 'EM SII~KLNGI An American Sub's Eye View of the Sinking of a Japanese Destroyer. This remarkable photograph, the first combat action photograph taken through the periscope of 8n American submarine, shows an enemy destroyer of one of the latest and largest types after it had been struck by two torpedoes launched by the submarine from which the picture was taken. The destroyer sank in nine minutes. Note the Rising Sun insignia on top of the turret to theleft, which serves as an identification mark for aircraft. Also note the two men in white scrambling over the conning-tower to the right. The marks on the left and the center line are etchings on the periscope. WORDSONCE SPOKEN CAN NEVER BE RECALLED 2 LET’S GET REALLY MAD AND STAY MAD ‘We quote from Jan Henrik Marsman’s article, “I escaped from Hong Kong”, published in the Saturday Evening Post dated June 6, 1942: “I saw the Japanese wantonly torture and finally murder British Officers and soldiers in Hong Kong. I saw them jab helpless civilian prisoners with bayonets. I witnessed the rape of English women by the soldiery. I saw the Japanese slowly starve English and American babies and I still wake up in the middle of the night hearing the feeble wails of these infant victims. I saw Hiro Hito’s savages outdo one another in.practicing assorted cruelties on captured English, Canadian, Indian and Chinese soldiers”.

  • Pearl Harbor's Forgotten Hero: the Story of the USS Utah
    UTAH STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Pearl Harbor’s Forgotten Hero: The Story of the USS Utah By THOMAS O’BRIEN he Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, left 2,403 Americans dead, 188 planes destroyed, and 8 battleships damaged or sunk. As legacies of that tragic day in world history, Tthe hulls of two battleships—the USS Arizona and the USS Utah—remain in the waters of Pearl Harbor. The USS Arizona Memorial on the east side of Ford Island is the most visited World War II site in the Pacific. However, on the opposite side of Pearl Harbor’s Ford Island, only a few visitors make their way to the memorial to the USS Utah where fifty- eight men lost their lives after the once proud battleship was hit by an aeri- al torpedo at 8:01 a.m. and capsized about ten minutes later.This paper will outline the history of the USS Utah and offer recollections of seamen on board the vessel when it and other ships were attacked at Pearl Harbor on what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called “a day that will live in infamy.” The construction of the Utah was part of an early twentieth century arms race that occurred at a time when global military supremacy was determined by control of the seas. The rise of the battleship as the super weapon of the world’s navies had roots in the era of wooden vessels, but commenced in earnest with the combat between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (Merrimack), during the American Civil War.

  • Nfap Policy Brief » May 2020
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» MAY 2020 MILITARY CONTRIBUTIONS AND SACRIFICES OF IMMIGRANTS BY STUART ANDERSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In his final speech as president, Ronald Reagan said, “We lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our people – our strength – from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation. While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams. We create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” By providing opportunity, America has given much to immigrants. Throughout America’s history, immigrants have given much in return. Many immigrants have sacrificed their lives while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. In researching the past and present contributions of immigrants to America’s military, this report from the National Foundation for American Policy found: - During service in America’s wars and conflicts, 22% of the recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor have been immigrants. Recent immigrant Medal of Honor recipients include Florent Groberg (born in France), Alfred Rascon (born in Mexico), Tibor Rubin (born in Hungary) and Leslie Sabo Jr.
