LAD #34 FDR's Declaration of War

"A date that will live in infamy"-FDR. FDR spoke about how Japan had attacked America on its own soil out of no where with no warning. Innocent lives were lost and the American heart was struck. He also adresses the other islands and countries that Japan struck by sea and air. FDR said that Japan had decieved America, because despite its peaceful negotiations and peace talks with America it attacked, trying to cripple Americas navy. Trying to cripple Americas navy was a clear sign that Japan sought to wipe America out as being a threat. America had been attacked on its own soil and FDR wanted war.
