I definitely thought we bounced back.
"Philip M. Rasmussen" was an United States Army Air Corps/Army Air Corps second lieutenant#United States/second lieutenant assigned to the 46th Pursuit Squadron at Wheeler Field on the island of Oahu during the Attack on Pearl Harbor/Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. He was one of the few American pilots to get into the air that day.
Rasmussen was awarded a Silver Star for his actions. He flew many later combat missions, including a bombing mission over Japan that earned him an oak leaf cluster. He stayed in the military after the war and eventually retired from the United States Air Force as a lieutenant colonel in 1965. He died in 2005 of complications from cancer and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
More Phil Rasmussen on Wikipedia.I don't think we lost, we just kind of ran out of time tonight. A couple more possessions and I think we could have had a chance. We were battling until the end of the game.
It was a real physical game. They got us on the backboard. They found the area they were going to take advantage of us and really exploited it.
