Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor Speech
  ( Roosevelt Speech at Congress on Dec. 8th 1941 )
  Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy -
  the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately at
  tacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
  The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the s
  olicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its gove
  rnment and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peac
  e in the Pacific.
  Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced b
  ombing in the American Island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassado
  r to the United States and his colleagues delivered to our Se
  cretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message.
  And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to contin
  ue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no thre
  at or hint of war or of armed attack.
  It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan ma
  kes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many
  days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japa
  nese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United
  States by false statements and expressions of hope for conti
  nued peace.
  The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused sever
  e damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to t
  ell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addi
  tion, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high
  seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
  Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack ag
  ainst Malaya.
  Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
  Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.
  Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
  Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.
  And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
  Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extendi
  ng throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and to
  day speak for themselves. The people of the United States hav
  e already formed their opinions and well understand the impli
  cations to the very life and safety of our nation. As command
  er in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all me
  asures be taken for our defense.
  That always will our whole nation remember the character of t
  he onslaught against us.
  No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditat
  ed invasion, the American people in their righteous might wil
  l win through to absolute victory.
  I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of th
  e people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves
  to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this fo
  rm of treachery shall never endanger us again. Hostilities ex
  ist. There is no blinking at the fact that that our people, o
  ur territory, and our interests are in grave danger. With con
  fidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determinati
  on of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so h
  elp us God.
  I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and
  dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a sta
  te of war has existed between the United States and the Japan
  ese empire.
