Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

The official Navy caption for this photo lists the date as 8 Aug 1942 but Nashville’s war diaries and action reports say the bombardment occurred on 7 Aug 1942. Cressman’s Navy WWII chronology agrees.
