… A Date Which Will Live in Infamy…

I originally posted this last year.     It bears repeating lest we forget our history. The You Tube link has since been removed but I found another source for the audio of this speech.

December 7, 1941. Sixty-seven years ago today the United States formally entered World War II after the attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor and many other American targets in the Pacific.

Here is an audio recording of FDR’s speech to Congress with some introductory commentary.

I posted the full text of President Roosevelt’s speech on this blog in 2006.
