will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately
attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan...As Commander-in-Chief
of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our
defense...With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination
of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God."
