So Proudly We Hail! Page #2

Synopsis: A group of U.S. Army nurses leaves San Francisco for their tour of duty in Hawaii in December 1941. The attack on Pearl Harbor changes their destination, and their lives. Sent to Bataan, in the Philippines, the nurses are led by Lt. Janet Davidson. She is faced with untested nurses who expected an easy time in Honolulu, but who quickly become battle-weary veterans dealing with daily bombardments by the Japanese, overwhelmed by the numbers of wounded, and dwindling supplies. Some of "Davey's" unit also have to deal with romantic entanglements with men they met onboard ship. When Bataan falls, the American forces flee to the offshore island of Corregidor, where they find the Japanese assault just as intense.

No, never did.

Well, it goes,

"Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky

"It turns and turns to say 'Good-by!"'

Good-bye. No, Captain,

I remember the rest.

"Good-by, dear clouds,

so cool and gray!"

And it goes something and

something "on its way".

What does?

The snowflake.

How's that look?

It looks great. You're pretty. Thanks.

Davy, I want you to meet my mother

and dad, and my brother, Georgie.

Hold these, Georgie.

Bye, snowflake. Thanks.

Mother, this is Lieutenant

Davidson, our senior officer.

How do you do, Mrs. Larson?

I think we better be going.

Please, please. This is her first

time away. Take care of my baby.

Now, there's nothing to

worry about, Mrs. Larson.

I will worry. Is it not

so, a mother must worry?

Yes, I suppose so.

The days will be lonesome now.

The two years will go like wildfire.

Yes, the years are short.

It's the days that are so long.

Now, don't you worry. I'll take care

of Rosemary. She'll be all right.

May God save you and keep you kindly,

and stand between you and harm.

Thank you.

Thanks again, Mrs. Larson.

I like you. You eat so much.

Goodbye, Mama.

Where's my cake? What

have you done with my cake?

Frederick, her cake. I have it here.

Roselein! Roselein!

Now you've got me crying.

Good-bye.

But, darling, I did

look all over for you.

Joan!

Where did you go? Well, I...

Captain O'Rourke, I want

you to meet Captain O'Brien.

You two should know each other.

There you are, Captain.

I just remembered the end.

The end of what? Well,

you know, "The Snowflake".

Fine.

"Good-by, dear clouds,

so cool and gray!

"Then lightly travels on its way"

Yes.

Well, come on, Joan.

Good-bye. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Good-bye, dear.

Good-bye!

Good-bye!

Good-bye! Good-bye!

Thanks, pal. I don't know

whoever said the flesh was weak,

I find it very strong.

Say, you'll catch cold, leatherneck.

Who, me?

Never had a cold in my life.

We were to be stationed at Honolulu,

and although the boat was a slow one,

we enjoyed every minute of it.

It was hard to believe it was December,

what with the tropical sea,

blue water and flying fish.

Hiya.

How's your cold, leatherneck?

It's not a cold. It's just

a running nose. Running...

You better not take too much of

this tropical sun, you'll get burned.

Who, me? I never burn.

Best tan you ever seen.

Don't you ever get

tired of writing letters?

Uh-uh.

All doctors.

What's the date?

It's Sunday. We had chapel.

Sunday the what?

Sunday the seventh.

Thanks. I'll just head it, "Eighteen

shopping days until Christmas".

Maybe he'll take the hint.

Pearl Harbor.

Most of us didn't even know what

it was, let alone where it was.
