Pearl Harbor Speech by F.D.R.
To the Congress of the United States
Yesterday, Dec. 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.
A new day of Infamy
The American way attacked
Perhaps the first time
This kind of danger
On American shores
But certainly not the last.
A new day of Infamy
In days before
Televisions and internet
Our Grandfathers, Grandmothers
Sat around RCA Radios
And listened to the voice
Of FDR.
Pearl Harbor
A day that will
In Infamy.
