[Chorus]
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello there
Hello ma baby
Hello ma honey
Hello ma ragtime pal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my heart's on fire
And if you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone
Oh baby, telephone
And tell me you're my own
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello[Verse 1]
Got a little baby, but he's out of sight
I talk to him across the telephone, telephone
I never see ma honey, but he's mine, all right
So take my tip, and leave this guy alone
And I'll say[Chorus]
Hello ma baby
Hello ma honey
Hello ma ragtime pal
Oh, send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my heart's on fire
Oh honey, if you refuse me
Honey you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone
Baby, telephone
And tell me you're my own
Hello, hello
If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone
Baby, telephone[Outro]
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Tell me you're my own

Marines’ Hymn Lyrics
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines.Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guardedBy United States Marines.

“I say that the delivery of needed supplies to Britain is imperative. I say that this can be done; it must be done; and it will be done… The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” – President Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." -Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England
“I don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?” - Adolf Hitler
"Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state's." - Benito Mussolini, Italian dictator who founded and led the National Fascist Party (PNF).
"Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else." - Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England
"YESTERDAY, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan..." – President Franklin D. Roosevelt's speech requesting a Declaration of War from Congress
"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." - Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto regarding the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by forces of Imperial Japan
"If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn’t thinking." -General George Patton
"They died hard, those savage men, like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them." - General Douglas MacArthur
“Our armament must be adequate to the needs, but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense, but in ourselves.” -Fleet Admiral Chester William Nimitz
"War is a grim, cruel business, a business justified only as a means of sustaining the forces of good against those of evil." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Expect only 5% of an intelligence report to be accurate. The trick of a good commander is to isolate the 5%." - General Douglas MacArthur
“The enemy win their battles from the air! They knock out my panzers with American armor-piercing shells.” – Erwin Rommel, top general for Adolf Hitler on the fighting power of American WW2 planes
“Leadership consists of picking good men, and helping them to do their best.” - Fleet Admiral Chester William Nimitz
"In war, you win or lose, live or die, and the difference is just an eyelash." - General Douglas MacArthur
"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." – General George Patton
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower
"I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes." - General Douglas MacArthur
"You don’t win wars by dying for your country. You win by making the other guy die for his.” – General George Patton
"Among those who served on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue." - Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz
"The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!" - General Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” - J. Robert Oppenheimer
“Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won." - General Douglas MacArthur

We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away[Pre-Chorus]

Tell them I won't be long

They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singin' this song[Chorus]

Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

Billie Holiday - Easy Living (1937)
https://genius.com/Billie-holiday-easy-living-lyrics
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but youI'll never regret the years I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for youFor you, maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand
They just don't understandLiving for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

Anything goes by Cole Porter (1934)
https://genius.com/Cole-porter-anything-goes-lyrics
[Intro]
Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got the shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them[Verse 1]
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows
Anything goes
Good authors, too, who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes[Bridge 1]
If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If old hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like
Why, nobody will oppose
When ev'ry night the set that's smart is
Intruding at nudist parties
In studios
Anything goes[Verse 2]
When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
Can get Russian reds to "yes" her
Then I suppose
Anything goes
When Rockefeller still can hoard
Enough money to let Max Gordon
Produce his shows
Anything goes[Bridge 2]
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once had several chateaus
When folks who still can ride in jitneys
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
Lack baby clothes
Anything goes[Verse 3]
When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction
Then Anna shows
Anything goes
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now does a handspring landing up-
On her toes
Anything goes
[Bridge 3]
Just think of those shocks you've got
And those knocks you've got
And those blues you've got
From those news you've got
And those pains you've got
(If any brains you've got)
From those little radios[Verse 4]
So Missus R., with all her trimmings
Can broadcast abed from Simmons
Cause Franklin knows
Anything goes

Eugene Bennett Fluckey
Details
- Rank: Commander (Highest Rank: Rear Admiral)
- Conflict/Era: World War II
- Unit/Command:
U.S.S. Barb (SS220)- Military Service Branch: U.S. Navy
- Medal of Honor Action Date: December 19, 1944 - February 15, 1945
- Medal of Honor Action Place: Namkwan Harbor along coast of China, China
CitationFor conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Barb during her 11th war patrol along the east coast of China from 19 December 1944 to 15 February 1945. After sinking a large enemy ammunition ship and damaging additional tonnage during a running two-hour night battle on 8 January, Comdr. Fluckey, in an exceptional feat of brilliant deduction and bold tracking on 25 January, located a concentration of more than 30 enemy ships in the lower reaches of Nankuan Chiang (Mamkwan Harbor). Fully aware that a safe retirement would necessitate an hour's run at full speed through the uncharted, mined, and rock-obstructed waters, he bravely ordered, "Battle station[--torpedoes!" In a daring penetration of the heavy enemy screen, and riding in five fathoms of water, he launched the Barb's last forward torpedoes at 3,000-yard range. Quickly bringing the ship's stern tubes to bear, he turned loose four more torpedoes into the enemy, obtaining eight direct hits on six of the main targets to explode a large ammunition ship and cause inestimable damage by the resultant flying shells and other pyrotechnics. Clearing the treacherous area at high speed, he brought the Barb through to safety, and four days later sank a large Japanese freighter to complete a record of heroic combat achievement, reflecting the highest credit upon Comdr. Fluckey, his gallant officers and men, and the U.S. Naval Service.
