Lest we forget: "Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date
which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly
and deliberately attacked
by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan...As Commander-in-Chief
of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for
our defense...With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded
determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph -
so help us God."
- President Franklin D. Roosevelt - December 8,1941
