“December 7th, 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.”

67 years ago, Franklin Roosevelt’s address to the Congress requesting a declaration of war reflects a steely determination which, sadly, seems to now be in short supply.

…always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounding determination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph – so help us God.

Although the differences vary greatly between the nature of WW2 and the ongoing war against Islamic terrorists, the resolve required to defeat those who wish to conquer or kill us remains the same. Our deepest gratitude goes out to those who gave their all in the fight against totalitarianism. And to those who continue the fight today.
