For the American people, the news of Pearl Harbor/the loss of the Phillipines was demoralizing. To hear the news of 450 marines, sinking 2 destroyers, heavily damaging 7 other ships and shooting down 20 aircraft, was truly a moral booster.

What was the Battle of the Wake island in the pacific?

The full story is long and complicated, but in early 1942 Wake Island was defended by US Marine soldiers and a squadron of Marine F4F Wildcat fighters.

The story of Wake Island was made into a film in the same year.
