“December 7th, 1941 ─ A Date Which Will Live in Infamy”
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
EIGHTY-THREE YEARS AGO, on December 7, 1941, at 7:55 a.m. local time, a surprise attack was conducted by Japanese naval forces on the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. The next day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, addressing a joint session of Congress, declared it “a date which will live in infamy.” He vowed:
“Always will our whole Nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.”
So today, please join the Thomas More Law Center in remembering that infamous date.
After two hours of bombing, 21 U.S. ships were sunk or damaged, 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed, 2,403 Americans were killed, and another 1,282 were wounded.
Over 900 sailors and Marines remain entombed in the wreckage of the USS Arizona. Today less than two dozen survivors remain alive.
Please watch this two minute video of President Roosevelt's address to the joint session of Congress.

Within an hour of Roosevelt's speech, Congress declared war on the Empire of Japan.
God bless America.
