The family moved to Wisconsin in 1842 and became a prosperous farmer in the Southport (Kenosha) area. She was teaching school in the city when she met Mr. Harvey. They had one daughter who died in infancy.
Leaving Wisconsin, she resettled in Buffalo, New York and returned to teaching, later marrying Rev. Albert T. Chester. After his death, she returned to Wisconsin and taught classes in Congregational Sunday School in Ft. Atkinson. One of her students remembered her as "a little woman with a sweet face.... a loving personality, quick, keen & jolly." She spent her remaining years in Clinton, Rock County, in the home she had shared with the governor and died there February 27, 1895 at age 70. She is buried in Forest Hills Cemetery in Madison with the governor.
The brief biography I was able to locate indicated the Clinton location for Mrs. Harvey's declining years. We have been lucky to be contacted by Rev. Kenneth L. Schaub of Lodi, WI, who is descended from one of her sisters and relates that Mrs. Harvey returned to Rock County, but to the home of his ancestors, the Bensons,outside of Clinton, her home in Shopiere with Louis having been abandoned when they moved to Madison.

Mrs. Cordelia A. P. Harvey
mrs. harvery small.JPG (88175 bytes)
Among the women whom the Civil War brought to the front as leaders, such as Louisa Lee Schuyler, Dorothea Dix, and Anna Dickinson, Mrs. Cordelia A. Perrine Harvey from Wisconsin, deserves a place.
In some respects she was a national flgure, one of the great army-nurses whose work was not limited by state lines.
Early Life
The early life of this remarkable woman did not differ from that of other Wisconsin women of her day, who spent their lives in small towns, busy with the daily routine. She lived for many years in Kenosha, where her father's family, the Perrines, were prominent in the decade of the forties.
The Perrine's were Huguenots that had settled in New Jersey and earlier generations had fought in the Battle Of Monmouth during the Revolution as it was fought on their farm.( Rev. K. L. Schaub)
Mrs. Harvey's Interview with Lincoln
Throughout Mrs. Harvey's narrative of her experiences in the early years of the war, runs a thread of criticism of existing conditions, especially of that military regulation which kept sick soldiers in Southern hospitals instead of sending them North, where the bracing atmosphere might restore them to health. To her the idea of military hospitals in the North seemed eminently practicable, and she could see no reason why the authorities should oppose such a project. She was not the only one who tried to secure such an arrangement; Governor Salomon had from the beginning of his term of office done everything in his power to further this matter, but his efforts were of no avail. "Finally Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Eliza Porter proposed to Senator Howe that he draw up a petition praying for the establishment of such hospitals. This was done, and through the efforts of these two women and other friends of the enterprise, eight thousand signatures were secured." It was then proposed that Mrs. Porter should take the petition to Washington, for as Mrs. Harvey said:
"By sending it.... by this officer and that one, we began to feel that the message lost the flavor of the truth and got cold, before it reached the deciding power, and because it was so luke-warm, he spued it out of his mouth. It is always best, if you wish to secure an object.... to go at once to the highest power, be your own petitioner, in temporal as in spiritual matters, officiate at your own altar, be your own priest."
Seeing the President, Mrs. Porter having refused to be the bearer of the petition, Mrs. Harvey went instead. "By the advice of friends, and with the intense feeling that something must be done I went to Washington. I entered the White House, not with fear and trembling, but strong and self possessed, fully conscious of the righteousness of my mission."
When I first saw him [President Lincoln] his head was bent forward, his chin resting on his breast, and in his hand a letter, which I had just sent in to him. He raised his eyes, saying, "Mrs. Harvey." I hastened forward, and replied, "Yes, and I am glad to see you, Mr. Lincoln!" So much for Republican presentation and ceremony. The President took my hand, hoped I was well, but there was no smile of welcome on his face. It was rather the stern look of the judge, who had decided against me.
His face was peculiar - bone, nerve, vein, and muscle were all so plainly seen; deep lines of thought and care were around his mouth and eyes. The word justice came into my mind, as though I could read it upon his face - I mean, that extended sense of the word, that comprehends the practice of every virtue which reason prescribes and society should expect. The debt we owe to God, to man, to ourselves, when paid is but a simple act of justice, a duty performed. This attribute seemed the source of Mr. Lincoln's strength."
After he had read the paper introducing Mrs. Harvey and her mission, he looked at her with a good deal of sad severity and said: "Madam, this matter of Northern hospitals has been talked of a great deal, and I thought it was settled; but it seems not. What have you got to say about it?" "Only this, Mr. Lincoln, that many soldiers- in our Western army, on the Mississippi River, must have Northern air or die. There are thousands of graves all along our Southern rivers, and in the swamps, for which the Government is responsible; ignorantly, undoubtedly, but this ignorance must not continue. If you will permit these men to come North, you will have ten men where you have one now."
The President could not comprehend this forceful argument; he could not understand that by sending one sick man to the North, this North would produce in a year ten healthy men. Mrs. Harvey made her point clear, but Lincoln answered: "Yes, yes, I understand you; but if they are sent North, they will desert; where is the difference?"
"Dead men cannot fight, and they may not desert," she answered.
Interview with Stanton
Thus the war of argument ran on, Mrs. Harvey valiantly defending her position, the President attacking it. Finally both parties to the debate realized that they had reached a deadlock, and Mr. Lincoln said:"Well, well, Mrs. Harvey, you go see the Secretary of War and talk with him, and hear what he has to say."
I left him for the War Department. I found written on the back of the letter these words, "Admit Mrs. Harvey at once; listen to what she says; she is a lady of intelligence and talks sense.
Not displeased with this introduction Mrs. Harvey went to see the Secretary of War, who informed her that he had sent the Surgeon-General to New Orleans on a tour of hospital inspection. Mrs. Harvey knew that this procedure would practically have no effect on existing conditioris, whereupon she replied, "The truth is, the medical authorities know the heads of departments do not wish hospitals established so far away from army lines, and report accordingly. I wish this could be overruled; can nothing be done?" "Nothing until the Surgeon-General returns," Mr. Stanton replied. So the valiant woman left him, not at all disappointed with her day's work, because she felt that she had made a deep impression on both these earnest and conscientious men, and could afford to wait for the result of her interviews. On that memorable day she met a friend in the street, who said to her, "How long are you going to stay here?" "Until I get what I came after." "That's right, that's right; go on; I believe in the final perseverance of the saints."
The President Unconvinced
The next morning she returned to the White House full of hope, but no smile greeted her. The President had been annoyed and worried by a woman pleading for the life of her son, and was not the genial, open-minded man he had been the night before. Mrs. Harvey relates her interview as follows:
After a moment he said, "Well," with a peculiar contortion of the face, I never saw in any one else. I replied, "Well," and he looked at me a little astonished, I fancied, and said, "Have you nothing to say?" "Nothing, Mr. President, until I hear your decision. You bade me come this morning; have you decided?"
"No, but I believe this idea of Northern hospitals is a great humbug, and I am tired of hearing about it." He spoke impatiently. I replied, "I regret to add a feathers weight to your already overwhelming care and responsibility. I would rather have stayed at home." With a kind of half smile, he said, "I wish you had." I answered him as though he had not smiled, "Nothing would have given me greater pleasure; but a keen sense of duty to this Government, justice and mercy to its most loyal supporters, and regard for your honor and position made me come. The people cannot understand why their friends are left to die, when with proper care they might live and do good service for their country. * * *
"Many on their cots, faint, sick and dying say, 'We would gladly do more, but suppose that it is all right.'- I know that the majority of them would live and be strong men again, it they could be sent North. I say, I know, because I was sick among them last spring; surrounded by every comfort, with the best of care, and determined to get well. I grew weaker, day by day, until not being under military law, my friends brought me North. I recovered entirely, simply by breathing the Northern air.,'
While I was speaking the expression of Mr. Lincoln's face had changed many times. He had never taken his eyes from me. Now every muscle of his face seemed to contract, and then suddenly expand. As he opened his mouth, you could almost hear them snap, as he said, "You assume to know more than I do," and closed his mouth as though he never expected to open it again, sort of slammed it to; I could scarcely reply. I was hurt and tbought the tears would come, but rallied in a moment and said, "You must pardon me, Mr. President, I intend no disrespect, but it is because of this knowledge - because I do know what you do not know, that I come to you. If you knew what I do, and had not ordered what I ask for, I should know that an appeal to you would be vain; but I believe that the people have not trusted you for naught. The question only is, whether you believe me or not. If you believe me, you will give me hospitals; if not, not." With the same snapping of muscle, he again said, "You assume to know more than surgeons do."
To this Mrs. Harvey replied, that the medical authorities knew that Lincoln was opposed to establishing hospitals in the North, and that they reported so as to please him, and she continued:
"I come to you from no casual tour of inspection passing rapidly through the general hospitals, with a cigar in my mouth, and a rattan in my hand, talking to the surgeon-in-charge of the price of cotton, and abusing the generals in our army, for not knowing and performing their duty better, and finally coming into the open air, with a long-drawn breath as though they had just escaped suffocation, and complacently saying, 'You have a very fine hospital here; the boys seem to be doing well, a little more attention to ventilation is perhaps desirable.'
"It is not thus I have visited hospitals; but from early morning until late at night sometimes, I have visited the regimental and general hospitals on the Mississippi River from Quincy to Vicksburg, and I come to you from the cots of men who have died, who might have lived had you permitted. This is hard to say, but it is none the less true." During the time that I had been speaking Mr. Lincoln's brow had become very much contracted, and a severe scowl had settled over his whole face. He sharply asked, how many men Wisconsin had in the field; that is, how many did she send. I replied, "About fifty thousand, I think. I do not know exactly." "That means, she has about twenty thousand now." He looked at me, and said, "You need not look so sober; they are not all dead." I did not reply.
After some conversation of a more general nature Mrs. Harvey left the President with the understanding that she would receive her answer at twelve the next day.
Mrs. Harvey Successful
The next morning she arose with a terribly depressed feeling that perhaps she would fail in her great mission. She was nervous and impatient and found herself looking at her watch, and wondering if twelve o'clock would never come. Finally she went to the White House, where she was informed by a messenger that a cabinet meeting was in session, and that she was to await the adjournment. After three hours, during which she felt more and more certain of defeat, Mr. Lincoln came into the room where she was waiting. He came forward, rubbing his hands and saying, "My dear Madam, I am very sorry to have kept you waiting. We have but this moment adjourned." She replied, "My waiting is no matter, but you must be very tired and we will not talk tonight." But the President. asked her to sit down and said, "Mrs. Harvey, I only wish to tell you, that an order equivalent to granting a hospital in your State has been issued nearly twenty-four hours." Let Mrs. Harvey continue the story in her own words:
I could not speak, I was so entirely unprepared for it. I wept for Joy, I could not help It. When I could speak I said, 'God bless you! I thank you in the name of thousands, who will bless you for the act.' ....I was so much agitated, I could not talk with him. He noticed it and commenced talking upon other subjects....
I shortly after left with the promise to call next morning, as he desired me to do at nine o'clock. I suppose the excitement caused the intense suffering of that night. I was very ill, and it was ten o'clock the next morning before I was able to send for a carriage to keep my appointment with the President.
More than fifty people were in the waiting room, so Mrs. Harvey turned to go; but a voice said, "Mrs. Harvey, the President will see you now." As she passed through the crowd, one person said, "She has been here every day and what is more, she is going to win." Mr. Lincoln greeted her cordially and gave her a copy of the order he had just issued. She thanked him for it and apologized to being late, whereupon he asked, "Did joy make you sick?" to which she answered, "I don't know, very likely it was the relaxation of nerve after intense excitement." Still looking at her he said, "I suppose you would have been mad if I had said 'no'?" "No, Mr. Lincoln, I should neither have been angry nor sick." "What would you have done?" be asked curiously. "I should have been here at nine o'clock, Mr. President." "Well," he laughingly said, "I think I acted wisely then. Don't you ever get angry?" he asked. "I know a little woman, not very unlike you, who gets mad sometimes." Mrs. Harvey answered, "I never get angry, when I have an object to gain of the importance of the one under consideration; to get angry, you know, would only weaken my cause and destroy my influence." "That is true, that is true, " he said decidedly. "This hospital I shall name for you." But Mrs. Harvey said modestly, "If you would not consider the request indelicate, I would like to have it named for Mr. Harvey." "Yes, just as well, it shall be so understood, if you prefer it. I honored your husband and felt his loss." After some further conversation Mr. Lincoln looked at her from under his eyebrows and said, "You almost think me handsome, don't you?" His face then beamed with such kind benevolence, and was lighted by such a pleasant smile, that she looked at him and said impulsively, "You are perfectly lovely to me now, Mr Lincoln," at which he blushed a little, and laughed most heartily.
As she arose to go, he reached out his hand - that hand in which there was so much power and little beauty - and held hers clasped and covered in his own. Mrs. Harvey relates further: "I bowed my head and pressed my lips most reverently upon the sacred shield, even as I would upon my country's shrine. A silent prayer went up from my heart, "God bless you, Abraham Lincoln!" I heard him say goodbye, and I was gone. Thus ended the most interesting interview of my life, with one of the most remarkable men of the age. My impressions of him had been so varied, his character had assumed so many different phases, his very looks had changed so frequently, and so entirely, that it almost seemed to me I had been conversing with half a dozen different men. He blended in his character the most yielding flexibility with the most unflinching firmness; child-like simplicity and weakness, with statesman-like wisdom and masterly strength; but over and around all was thrown the mantle of an unquestioned integrity."
It is almost superfluous to comment upon Mrs. Harvey's part in these memorable interviews, for the reader of her descriptions cannot but feel her power and strength of character. She was like a wise general who is not over-confident by apparent success, nor unduly depressed by apparent defeat. Moreover, in her was united a masculine grasp of a situation and a remarkable power of argument, with womanly tact and patience, which finally secured the victory. Wisconsin people may feel that in this interview with Abraham Lincoln, Mrs. Harvey rose to the situation with a greatness not below that of the President, whom she so truly called "one of the most remarkable men of the age."

In defiance of Chief Ross and the National Council a small group in return for ceding all the tribal lands in the southeast the Cherokee nation would be paid 5,000,000 dollars providing funds to relocate west of the Mississippi, and to build homes, churches, and schools in their new land.

November 20-December 7, 1941: Thirty thousand Jews are killed in the Rubula Forest outside Riga, during the so-called Jeckeln Aktion including Flora and Sidonie Gottlieb.[21]
December 7, 1941: Charles Lindbergh made an anti-Semitic speech on radio. The Lone Eagle or Lucky Lindy as he was called was an isolationist and part of the America First Committee. He was impressed with the Nazis. He saw fascism as the wave of the future and believed that “the wave was rolling towards America. He saw World War II being a continuation of centuries old European tribal feuds that had nothing to do with theUnited States. He stood with those who believed that FDR’s New Deal was “a Jewish concoction”and that a foreign policy supportin European democracies against the Nazis was the product of “Jewish interventionists.” In fact, Lindberg was scheduled to give a speech about why Anerica should stay out of the war on the afternoon of December 7, 1941. [22]
she was 150 miles west when the first Japanese bombs began to fall December 7. Her first notice that war had begun came from one of her own pilots, Ensign Manuel Gonzales, of Scouting Six, flying in to Ford Island Naval Air Station that Sunday morning:
"Please don't shoot! Don't shoot! This is an American plane."
Moments later, he was heard ordering his aircrewman Leonard J. Kozelek to bail out: neither man was ever heard from again.
Scene at Ford Island Naval Air Station, in Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
Immediately after the attack, Enterprise was ordered to seek out and attack the Japanese fleet. Faulty intelligence and bad guesses led to her to search the waters southwest of Hawaii, where she found only more American ships. It is just as well, though, as it's unlikely Enterprise alone would have been an even match for the six Japanese fleet carriers now escaping west after the devastating morning raids.
At dusk the following day, Enterprise and her Task Force, low on fuel, crept into Pearl Harbor. Angry and frightened voices called out to her: "You'd better get the hell out of here or the Japs will nail you too." "Where in hell were you?" Working in the dark, in shadows cast by the still-burning Arizona, Enterprise refueled while her men hauled on board provisions brought to the ship by lighters. By 0600 the next morning, she had cleared the harbor channel and returned to the vast Pacific, with room to maneuver, room to run.
It was December 9, 1941, and Enterprise was at war.

December 7, 1941: VIVID MEMORIES: Pearl Harbor ‘changed a bunch of young boys into men within hours’
For former Navy cook Howard L. Snell, field bread — a sort of flatbread made with a little water — forever will be associated with the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Snell, an 18-year-old apprentice seaman at the time, was at the mess hall finishing breakfast on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941.
The sound of bombs sent him to the window, where he saw fire, smoke and explosions.
“The Oklahoma had already rolled over and started to capsize. I couldn’t fathom what I saw. Then everything seemed to blow up — that was when the Arizona’s magazines blew,” he recalled.
Snell was sent first to the armory, where he was assigned a Springfield rifle.
“I had a .45 on me and I looked like a bandido,” he said. “When the (Japanese) planes came over again, I started shooting. I’d like to say I hit one, but I know I didn’t.”
From there, Snell returned to the armory and was sent to the kitchen to bake field bread — which he did for the next three days.
Snell, who was assigned to the Enterprise, stayed on the carrier until 1943. He then was assigned to the destroyer Morrison, which was sunk by kamikaze planes off Okinawa.
In all, he was involved in 17 major battles in the Pacific.
When he returned to the United States after the war, Snell became a chief sonar technician (submarine) and ended up in naval intelligence. He spent 21 years in the Navy, then 13 years as a civil servant.
Before Pearl Harbor, many sailors seriously underestimated the fighting capabilities of the Japanese. “It changed a bunch of young boys into men within hours,” he said.
“It just changed our whole outlook on life. We couldn’t believe the Japanese would ever attack us. We didn’t think they were good fighters.”
Snell said he is compelled to contribute to his country and his nation — as a way of honoring his many dead shipmates.
“I looked at what our country stood for and I tried to see what I could do to contribute to it,” he said.
“I made a commitment to my shipmates, ‘Doggone it, I’m alive for a reason, and I need to do something worthwhile.’ ” Today, he is Texas state chairman of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association and president of the San Jacinto (Houston) chapter.
He thinks the public has forgotten that in wartime, people must die for their country.
“People have gotten so spoiled. They thought it was so easy in the Gulf War. This time (the war on terrorism), we’re going to have casualties and we have to expect it. People are going to die for our country.”
— Vivienne Heines[25]
December 7, 1941: Born in Minnesota, Howard Snell was the youngest of three kids and never knew his father. The family moved to Iowa when he was 13. He joined the Navy in 1941 and was assigned to the USS Enterprise at Pearl Harbor.
On Dec. 7, the aircraft carrier was at sea, but Snell was attending cooking school on the island. He was at breakfast when he heard the noise of the Japanese attack.
Snell remembers running to the fleet landing to see what was happening to see what was happening.
"I couldn't figure out what I was looking at," he said. "It was the Oklahoma. She'd already flipped over."
He lost a lot of friends that day.[26]

December 7, 2011 marks the 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Altogether, 2,390 Americans lost their lives in the attack. Twelve ships sank or were beached, and nine were damaged. The U.S. lost 164 aircraft. The attack broke the backbone of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and forced America out of a policy of isolationism. President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced that it was “a date which will live in infamy” and Congress declared war on Japan the morning after. It was the first attack on American territory since 1812.

The attack, which left 2,343 Americans dead and 916 missing, broke the backbone of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and forced America out of a policy of isolationism. President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced that it was "a date which will live in infamy" and Congress declared war on Japan the morning after. This was the first attack on American territory since 1812. (AP Photo) #

USS Enterprise CV-6
The Most Decorated Ship of the Second World War
1941 - The Defense of Wake Island
Wake Island
December 7-23, 1941
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All hands have behaved splendidly and held up in a manner of which the Marine Corps may well tell."
Major Paul Putnam, December 21, 1941
Along with Guam, Wake Island was one of the key American outposts in the central Pacific, a vital part of the supply line between Hawaii and the Philippines. A small atoll 2300 miles west by southwest of Hawaii, Wake was one of the first objectives of Japan's military planners. Located just outside the Japanese Mandate Islands - including Truk, the Marianas and Marshall islands, and Palau - Wake was within striking range of Japanese bombers based on Kwajalein to the south. Flat, and with few natural defenses, the island presented an easy target for invasion.
While Enterprise was only tangentially involved in the battles for Wake Island, the story has an important place in her history. Days before Pearl Harbor, Enterprise had delivered the Marine pilots and planes of squadron VMF-211, who played a vital role in the island's defense. The incredible courage of the island's defenders deserves to be remembered.
Just hours after the last Zero had left the skies over Pearl Harbor, 34 Japanese bombers swept out of the rain and fog over Wake Island, blasting and strafing the airfield, fuel storage tanks and other facilities on the atoll. Composed of three small islands - Peale, Wilkes, and the main island Wake - the atoll was home to 450 Marines and sailors, as well as nearly 1500 civilians, including employees of Pan Am, which operated a hotel and seaplane station as part of its Philippine Clipper service.
Posters such as this one, by artist Arbin Henning, graphically illustrated the desperate struggles taking place on America's Pacific outposts.
Aided by the weather, the attackers enjoyed nearly complete surprise, killing 52, including 18 Marines, and destroying 7 of the precious Grumman F4F Wildcat fighters which Enterprise had delivered to the island just a week before. After the strike, the wounded and a few lucky others were loaded on the Martin 130 flying boat docked at the island, and evacuated to Hawaii. The Marines and others remaining on the island braced for the next attack, and for the arrival of an enemy cruiser and destroyer force the Clipper pilot had sighted over the horizon.

Convoy 64, December 7, 1943
This convoy is numbered 64 because of a German mix-up in the files with the convoy of December 17, which is numbered 63. It (Convoy 64) carried 575 males and 422 females. The age composition of the youth was similar to Convoy 62, with 161 people under 18, of whom 106 were children under 12.
Also deported with this convoy was Raymond-Raoul Lambert, 49, President of the IGIF, his wife Simone, 39, and their four children. Their deportation at this time was due to the protests of Mr. Lambert to the Vichy Government (document XXVII-36, of August 15, 1943. [28]
Raymond-Raoul Lamberts Diary has been among the most important untranslated records of the experience of French Jews in the Holocaust. Lambert, a leader of the Union of French Jews (UGIF), was, in the words of the historian Michael Marrus, “arguably the most important Jewish official in contact with the Vichy government and the Germans.” Lambert’s Diary survived the war and was published in France in 1985. It reveals Lambert’s efforts to save the Jews in France, particularly the children.[29] The book is titled “Diary of a Witness, 1940-1943”, Ivan R. Dee, Publisher. ISBN: 1-56663-740-6/978-1-56663-740-4.
On November 30, Rothke had telexed to Eichmann that he was scheduling a convoy of 1,000 Jews for December 7 (XLIX-59). On December 3, Gunther, Eichmann’s assistant, telexed Berlin’s consent for this convoy (XLIX-33). On December 4, Hagen and Oberg contacted Himmler to advise him of the departure of the convoy (SLIX-33). The routine telex was signed by Rothke; the convoy left December 7 at 12:10 AM with 1,000 Jews from Paris/Bobigny, under the supervision of Lieutenant Wannenmacher (XLIX-32a).
There were at least four escapes en route to Auschwitz, among them that of Cesar Chamy, who was later recaptured and escaped a second time on August 17, 1944.
When they arrived in Auschwitz, 267 men were selected and received numbers 167442 through 167708. Seventy two women received numbers 70184 through 70255. The rest, 657, were gassed upon arrival.
On board Convoy 64 on December 7, 1943 was Fanny Gotlib born December 6, 1904 from St. Denis.[30]
In 1945 there were 50 survivors, two of them women.[31]

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — Aging Pearl Harbor survivors on Tuesday heard reassurances their sacrifice would be remembered and passed on to future generations as they gathered to mark the 69th anniversary of the attack.
"Long after the last veteran of the war in the Pacific is gone, we will still be here telling their story and honoring their dedication and sacrifice," National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis told about 120 survivors who traveled to Hawaii from around the country for the event.
Merl Resler, 88, of Newcastle, Calif., was among those who returned. He remembered firing shots at Japanese planes from the USS Maryland and standing in the blood of a shipmate hit by shrapnel during the attack.
"My teeth was chattering like I was freezing to death, and it was 84 degrees temperature. It was awful frightful," said Resler.
On Tuesday, fighter jets from the Montana Air National Guard flew above Pearl Harbor in missing man formation to honor those killed in the attack, which sunk the USS Arizona and with it, nearly 1,000 sailors and Marines. In all, about 2,400 service members died.
Sailors lined the deck of the USS Chafee and saluted as the guided missile destroyer passed between the sunken hull of the USS Arizona and the grassy landing where the remembrance ceremony was held.
After the ceremony, the survivors, some in wheelchairs, passed through a "Walk of Honor" lined by saluting sailors, Marines, airmen and soldiers to enter a new $56 million visitor center that was dedicated at the ceremony.
"This facility is the fulfillment of a promise that we will honor the past," Jarvis said.
The Park Service built the new center because the old one, which was built on reclaimed land in 1980, was sinking into the ground. The old facility was also overwhelmed by its popularity: it received about 1.6 million visitors each year, about twice as many as it was designed for.
People often had to squeeze by one another to view the photos and maps in its small exhibit hall. In comparison, the new center has two spacious exhibition halls with room for more people, as well as large maps and artifacts such as anti-aircraft guns.
There was a minor disruption on the center's first day when the discovery of an unidentified bag inside one of the galleries prompted the Park Service to briefly evacuate the two exhibit halls and a courtyard. But the rest of the visitors center remained open, and everyone was allowed back in the galleries after the object was determined to be a medical bag carrying oxygen.
U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Patrick Walsh said the new center, which has twice the exhibition space as the old one, would tell the story of those who fought and won the peace.
"This museum gives a view into their lives, a window into the enormity of their task, an appreciation of the heaviness of their burden, the strength of their resolve," Walsh said.
Assistant Secretary of the Interior Thomas Stickland said the events of Dec. 7, 1941, were so traumatic and marked by heroism that they had become ingrained in the nation's consciousness.
"That day is now fundamental to who we are as a people. Its stories must be preserved. They must be honored and they must be shared," Strickland said.
USS Pennsylvania sailor DeWayne Chartier was on his way to church that day but never made it: "I got interrupted someplace along the line," the 93-year-old recounted.
He returned to Pearl Harbor from Walnut Creek, Calif., to mark the anniversary and see the dedication of the new center.
"It is my duty. It is not just a visit," Chartier said. "I felt I should be part of it."[37]
December 7, 2010: Pearl Harbor Survivors Commend FRA's Efforts to Preserve USS Arizona Legacy
When the new USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center is dedicated in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7th, it will represent decades of dedication by members of the Fleet Reserve Association (FRA). On the 69th anniversary of the Japanese attack on the U.S. and our nation’s entry into World War II, many FRA members will be on hand to honor their lost shipmates and fellow survivors, and witness the culmination of the Association’s efforts to preserve their memories.
Among those who will be on hand is Julius Finnern, a Pearl Harbor survivor who was serving aboard USS Monahan (DD-354) on that fateful day in 1941. He’s been an FRA member since 1956 and has also been a senior leader for the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. Finnern, who is the last of five Pearl Harbor survivors living in Menomonee Falls, Wisc., is pleased that his shipmates’ service and sacrifice continue to be honored by the millions of visitors and donors to the USS Arizona Memorial and visitor center.
“It seems there’s little mention of World War II these days,” he says. “There are fewer and fewer WWII veterans around and even fewer Pearl Harbor survivors. Most are in their 90’s now.”
FRA played a significant role in the creation of the USS Arizona Memorial and associated visitor centers. In the late 1950s, Congress authorized the construction of the memorial to honor the Arizona crew entombed when the ship sank, and FRA immediately got involved by encouraging its members and all citizens to participate in the fundraising campaign. The Association offered scale model kits of the USS Arizona to every shipmate who donated to the project. The memorial was dedicated on Memorial Day 1962 and instantly became a national shrine, attracting millions of visitors to the site.
During the ensuing years, FRA maintained its commitment to honoring the Arizona and her crew. The Association mounted a nine-month campaign to build a $7,500 scale replica of the vessel, which was unveiled on December 7th, 1967, and displayed at the USS Arizona Memorial through 1980. (The model now resides at FRA’s National Headquarters in Alexandria, Va.)
Because of the memorial’s immense popularity, visitors faced long lines and delays as they waited for Navy transports to take them from the shore to the memorial, which is situated in the harbor. As the need for a shoreside visitor center grew, FRA again got involved. Members of FRA’s Pearl Harbor/Honolulu Branch 46 formed the Arizona Memorial Museum Foundation, which launched a grassroots fundraising campaign to construct a $5 million facility. The Foundation’s efforts netted nearly $1 million in donations from FRA branches, affiliated Ladies’ Auxiliary units and individual shipmates. After more than 10 years of concentrated efforts, the original USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center was dedicated on December 7th, 1980.
Shipmate Bill Roberts of Bowling Green, Ky., was among the thousands who contributed to the effort. He was serving as a mail clerk aboard the USS Maryland (BB-46) in December 1941 and was “surprised and shocked” when he realized the Japanese were attacking his and other ships.
“I’m glad to be part of the efforts that built the memorial and the visitor centers,” said Roberts, who’s been a member of FRA since 1958 and is the only Pearl Harbor survivor still living in his county. “I knew someone on just about every ship that was lost at Pearl Harbor and it’s important that we remember and recognize them.”
FRA has also been instrumental in the more recent campaign to expand and renovate the visitor center. Unfortunately, what began nearly 10 years ago as an $8 million renovation project became a $56 million construction program when it was discovered that the foundation of the original structure was sinking. In the ongoing effort to preserve the artifacts and legacy of this important event in American history, FRA again contributed as a national entity and is the largest donor among contributing veterans’ groups. Additionally, many branches, units and individual shipmates have also added to the millions of dollars raised to construct the new facility. The new visitor center, which is part of the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, will provide an expanded state-of-the-art museum, education and research center and improved amenities that will allow visitors to access digitized documents, photographs and oral histories.
Howard Snell will be among the many FRA members who will attend the center’s grand opening and dedication on December 7th, 2010. He was assigned to the USS Enterprise (CV-6) at Pearl Harbor back in 1941. The aircraft carrier was at sea when the Japanese attacked, but he was attending cooking school on the island and witnessed history first hand. The 87-year-old Navy retiree from Spartanburg, S.C., will solemnly recall the many friends he lost nearly 70 years ago.
Snell and Finnern will be joined by FRA National President Jim Scarbro, Past National Presidents George Kaye and Jerry Sweeney, and numerous members from Branch 46 during the five days of events associated with the opening, which will include the interment of USS Utah survivor David Smith at the USS Utah Memorial on Ford Island.
The memories of those lost at Pearl Harbor will also be remembered by other FRA members at ceremonies across the nation, including events at the University of Arizona in Tucson, a wreathlaying ceremony at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C., and a commemorative service at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. But many FRA members will remember their lost shipmates in more private ways.
Shipmate Noel Stephens was cooking breakfast aboard USS Zane (DD-337) when the Pearl Harbor attack began. He recalls that “all hell broke out and we went to general quarters. My post was to man the machine gun over the galley.” The 95-year-old resident of Detroit, Mich., will remember the many friends he lost when the Arizona sank. “I trained with many of them while we were stationed together in Norfolk [Va.] in 1936,” Stephens recalls sadly.
FRA Shipmate Vic Miranda, who currently lives in San Diego, Calif., was a 20-year-old Sailor in the Pearl Harbor supply corps in 1941. He won’t ever forget the horrors he saw as he worked in the hospital’s burn unit in the wake of the attack.
“Guys came in covered in oil,” he recalls. “We had [victims] all over the floors, in the passageways, everywhere. There wasn’t much we could do for them except clean them up and give them morphine for the pain.”
At age 89. Miranda isn’t up to the trip to Hawaii, but he’ll be there in spirit. “The new center will be great,” he says. “It means a lot to me that FRA continues to be engaged in preserving the Pearl Harbor legacy.”[38]

KINGMAN - Japan shocked America when it attacked Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, but for U.S. military personnel in Hawaii at the time, the initial shock wore off rather quickly - it was time to get to work.
Today is the 70th anniversary of a day that catapulted America into World War II. As each anniversary widens the gap of time between now and then, the amount of Pearl Harbor survivors sharing their stories with us does the opposite, as many of the men and women who were there have passed away. Few Pearl Harbor survivors remain in Mohave County, but here are the stories of two of them.
Chief Petty Officer Howard Snell, United States Navy
Howard Snell grew up without a father in Minnesota. When he joined the military, he found the home he never had.
"I loved it," Snell said. "I loved boot camp, and I loved the chow - I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread."
Snell, a carrier sailor on the USS Enterprise CV6, was attending cooks and bakers school at Pearl Harbor's submarine base at the time of the attack.
He came down for breakfast that fateful morning. A series of explosions interrupted his meal. He left the mess hall and ran down to a landing. He could see battleship row, but couldn't quite make out what was going on.
"There was a giant explosion, and I realized the Arizona was being attacked. The Oklahoma had capsized and was laying belly up," Snell said. "I thought the (Japanese) were landing."
The submarine base armory was opened up, and Snell was given a Springfield rifle and a .45-calibur pistol.
"I was a regular bandito," said Snell, who was 18 at the time. "I was ready."
As the second wave of Japanese planes, which continued to bomb the American fleet, flew directly over the submarine base, Snell shot at the planes with his rifle.
"I don't think I hit any of them," he said. "But I took my shots."
The first wave of the attack neutralized the airfields, and the second focused on the ships. Snell said it's a good thing there wasn't a third wave, as it would've taken out submarines, oil tanks and dry docks, "setting us back at least six months."
The Enterprise came back in the next day for stores and fuel, went out and returned a few weeks later - that's when Snell got back on. At that point, the ship set course of the Pacific Theatre.
Snell earned eight Battle Stars on the Enterprise - the most decorated ship in American history - most coming from island battles such Wake, Marcus and Midway.
"We won a decisive battle at Midway," Snell said. "We sank four of their carriers."
Those same four carriers had taken part in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Battle of Midway turned the tide of the war, Snell said. To that point, Japanese forces had more than held their own.
Snell ended up on the USS Morrison DD-560 during the latter half of 1943. Later that year, the ship was raided off the coast of Okinawa. There, four kamikazes maneuvered through heavy fire to explode into the destroyer - the fourth was the Morrison's death knell. The ship sunk and more than 150 med perished, Snell said.
Decades later, survivors from the Morrison bring up the 36 gallons of raspberry ice cream Snell made the night before the attack. Only a select few were lucky enough to taste the batch, as it went down with the ship.
After WWII, Snell moved from the kitchens to Undersea Warfare Naval Intelligence - he helped make submarines quieter during the Cold War. It was there that after 13 years in the Navy, he made Chief.
"I had a great career," Snell said. "I've been honored too much - I'm just an old country boy."
Snell has remained active with the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, putting more than 275,000 miles on his truck traveling around the country on business with the group. He helped raise a flag at Normandy, France in 2008 to honor 1,068 Navy men that died there during D-Day as well.
Snell moved from South Carolina to Kingman recently and married Marjorie Breer, who he met on Eharmony. They have a trip to Hawaii planned for next year.
"Home is whatever port I'm in," Snell said.
Staff Sergeant Leo Stewart, U.S. Army Air Corps
In the weeks leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Golden Valley resident Leo Stewart, who had worked in the Wheeler Airfield aircraft instrument shop, was put on guard duty.
"I wanted out of there," Stewart said. "I hated guard duty."
Stewart wanted out so much that he demanded either a transfer or officer candidate school. His Company Officer submitted an application to officer candidate school for Stewart, and he was accepted.
Stewart went on duty at midnight on the Dec. 7. Once his shift ended, he made a beeline toward the barracks with nothing on his mind but sleep. Just as he was dozing off, he heard a lot of airplanes flying overhead. Being the airplane junky that he was, he postponed sleep and went outside to have a look.
As he stood there gawking at the planes, he saw an explosion in the distance. Initially, he thought an American plane had crashed. He started hollering that there had been an accident when he saw a plane fashioned with a rising sun insignia on the fuselage drop several bombs on a hangar and several planes. Planes were lined in rows in front of hangars all over the Wheeler, Stewart said.
"We're under attack!" he yelled, as he made a break for the barracks.
The planes circled north, came back and started strafing the planes in front of the hangars, Stewart said. Stewart was right in the middle of the first wave of Japanese attacks.
During the commotion, Stewart sent a man - with blood leaking from his head and left shoulder - off to the dispensary and found a relatively safe spot for some officers' wives. He started making his way back to the barracks when a plane came directly at him. He dove behind a concrete wall no larger than 2 feet high as the plane opened fire. Bullets whizzed over the top of Stewart. Within moments the plane was gone.
"A bullet was spinning on the sidewalk," Stewart said. "I picked it up and put it in my pocket for some reason; everything was going in slow motion."
Later, while Stewart was with a group planning to shoot at Japanese airplanes with rifles, a Major drove up and demanded Stewart and two others come with him. They went up to headquarters and set up a .30-caliber machine gun on the front lawn. Once they were through setting it up darkness approached, and the same Major took him to a drainage tunnel and told him to stop anyone from entering the tunnel, as he feared saboteurs.
Stewart remained at the tunnel for the next two days. He can't remember eating, drinking water or even relieving himself.
"To hell with this," he told himself on the morning of the 9th. He grabbed his rifle and headed to the guardhouse. "I was so tired that I didn't give a damn if they shot me or not."
"Where the hell have you been," his CO greeted him.
The CO was angry that the Major had taken his men without telling him. When Stewart wasn't there for roll call, officers listed him as missing in action.
In the coming days, Stewart returned to the once-immaculate machine shop and found it destroyed. He and others began cleaning it up, putting the pieces back together.
One day, Stewart was working on a P-40 when a Jeep showed up, and the driver demanded he go see the CO.
Stewart was ordered to pack all his personal belongings, and he was taken to the consolidated barracks. There, more than 20 guys were set up on cots. They were forced to stay there, with the windows blocked off, for three days when two trucks showed up. The men were loaded into the truck and then put on a ship.
"I wound up at Midway Island after the battle," Stewart said. "We were in charge of aircraft and on the island for six months."
In 1942, Stewart returned to the states where he transferred to the 58th Bomb Squadron. He helped train navigators as a crew member, and eventually went to engine and aircraft school, which bumped him up to crew chief.
After more training, the squadron was shipped off to Canton Island.
"The very first night I was there we were attacked," Stewart said.
During a fish fry one evening, the men heard booming but no sirens. An officer walked in dressed like Rambo and informs them that they're under attack. A Japanese submarine was shelling them from the sea.
Stewart moved from island to island, with stops at Terawa and Makin.
Stewart spent about three-and-a-half years overseas during the war.
"I lost quite a few friends," he said after naming several of them. "We lost a third of our squadron - most of them flying personnel.
Stewart thought back to Pearl Harbor: "Those pilots were good; they got every (single) one of our planes. We never got a plane up. They said 70 planes attacked Wheeler Field."
After Japan surrendered, Stewart was honorably discharged from the military; he had decided against officer school.
Like Snell, Stewart became active with the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, holding several positions with the local chapter - including president.
"I'm glad I went through (Pearl Harbor and WWII), but I wouldn't want to do it again," Stewart said.

Veteran Recalls Pearl Harbor Attack

It’s estimated that around 1,000 veterans of World War II die every day. Some of those passing were on the Hawaiian island Oahu 71 years ago today, Dec. 7, 1941.
It was around 8 a.m. that Sunday morning when Japanese planes screamed out of the sky, hitting the U.S. airfields and the battleships docked in the harbor.

Navy veteran Howard Snell was on Oahu the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. (Kingman Daily Miner)
Howard Snell, who was born in Minnesota, was an 18-year-old Navy chief petty officer. He was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, which was out at sea that morning. Snell was left on Oahu, where he was attending the cook’s and baker’s school at the submarine base, when the bombs started to fall.
“It was mayhem,” Snell told Here & Now. “All I saw was smoke, oil slicks and explosions, and as a young man I couldn’t comprehend that.”
Snell, who now lives in Kingman, Ariz., survived the attack and went on to serve on the USS Enterprise during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. He was also on the USS Morrison when that U.S. destroyer was sunk by Japanese kamikazes on May 4, 1945.
Snell is one of the shrinking number of American vets who survived Pearl Harbor. That’s why he’s active in the organization, the Sons And Daughter of Pearl Harbor Survivors, which is holding its convention in San Diego right now.
“This is the first convention. Their idea is that we’re going to carry on and now it’s the grandsons and granddaughters that are carrying on,” Snell said.
There were 15 Congressional Medal of Honors awarded for bravery during the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. One of them went, posthumously, to man from Charlotte, Mich., named Francis Charles Flaherty.
Ensign Flaherty was on the USS Oklahoma, which started to capsize when it was hit by three torpedoes. As more torpedoes hit, he stayed in one of the Oklahoma’s turrets, providing light so the other members of the turret crew could escape. He went down with his ship.
The last thing Snell said to us was “go Navy.” The Midshipmen play Army in the annual football rivalry game between the two service academies Saturday in Philadelphia.[39]
