Historierne fandt til sidst vej gennem soldaterne og tilbage til pressen. Dette førte, som McDowell bemærkede, til, at nogle skribenter fejlagtigt identificerede andre kapellaner som ophavsmænd til udtrykket. Ikke desto mindre var den rigtige kapellan, Lt. j.g. Howell M. Forgy, om bord på USS New Orleans under det japanske angreb.

The stories eventually made their way through the servicemen and back to the press. This, as McDowell noted, led some writers to erroneously identify other chaplains as author of the phrase. Nonetheless, the real chaplain, Lt. j.g. Howell M. Forgy, was aboard the USS New Orleans during the Japanese attack.
