On a special wall in the USS Arizona Memorial is the name of Bisbee Seaman 1st Class J.J. Murphy, who went down with the battleship when it was destroyed in 1941. Looking at Murphy’s name were members of the Buena High School Marching Colts and an Army colonel, who are, from left, Tori Jurik, T.C. Fair, Col. James Taylor, Angel Barrera and Samantha O’Camp.

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — Dec. 7, 1941, is not real for most people alive today.
Firsthand knowledge of what happened nearly 68 years ago definitely does not exist among the members of the Buena High School Marching Band —
and is not even part of
what their parents can recall as a life experience.
But on Friday, the Buena teenagers got a taste of what President Franklin Roosevelt called a day of infamy.

Too many of our young people and in particular our school children have not
learned waht happened during WW2 and what it was about. It is not taught in
school. In Tucson, a few of of us WW2 veterans volunteer to bring the message
to school children. I get questions, how many did you kill. I try to steer
them to why the war was fought and try to stress that war is not a good thing
and is not always the only way to solve problems.
