. The USS Arizona was a battleship that was sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, by Japanese forces. The ship exploded and sank, resulting in the loss of over 1,100 crew members. It remains submerged at the memorial site in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.B. Dorie Miller, a mess attendant in the U.S. Navy during World War II, received the Navy Cross for his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Without formal training, he manned an anti-aircraft machine gun, shot down several Japanese planes, and assisted in the rescue of wounded sailors.C. Nurses during World War II used a small, metal tag on the patient's clothing to indicate that they had received morphine. This helped prevent over-medication. There was no shortage of blood for victims due to organized blood donation drives and the establishment of mobile blood banks during the war.
