Tuesday is a day of remembrance across America as we pause to remember the attack on Pearl Harbor.
December 7th - the day that will live in infamy - saw Pearl Harbor attacked and thousands killed. At the heart of the attack was the battleship USS Arizona, which sank and entombed hundreds of sailors.
The Kalispell band Marshall Catch has written a song as a tribute to those who died and those who served.
Frontman Luke Lautaret and his bandmates have created a song that honors the USS Arizona, the ship which remains on the bottom of the ocean after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Lautaret explained, "For my grandparents, that was our September 11th, that was to them...that was as emotional, like a loss of innocence just like September 11th was for us."
Bass player Aidan Foshay feels the song is important and almost a history lesson of sorts for those not familiar with the World War II battleship; Foshay noted, "Something heart touching, you know an easy history lesson. [It] kinda goes from the birth of the ship to the untimely demise of the ship. [It] kinda just keeps it there, keeps it fresh in your mind."
Guitarist Arron Danreuther says his grandfather served in World War II and the song has special meaning for him. He explained, "He died seven or eight years ago, so I got to spend like some last moments with him, and talk about World War II, and what he did there. A little bit about why they were there, so [it's] a good song, a special song for me."
