Franklin Delano Roosevelt begins with speaking of the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy." He quickly requested a declaration for from Congress after the attack. Japan's entire attack on Pearl Harbor had obviously been very planned out as well as various other hostile attacks on surrounding pacific islands. Furthermore, Roosevelt also acknowledged the fact that Japan simply was undisturbed by the conflicts at hand, and went on as if there was nothing awry. This prompted Roosevelt request to declare war. He asked America to take a stand and fight against Japan and regain justice. He concluded with saying that the only way America was to prove itself against Japan was to fight.
