Yesterday, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in

infamy the United States of America was suddenly and
deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of
Japan. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from
Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately
planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening
time the Japanese government has deliberately sought to
deceive the United States by false statements and
expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack
yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage
to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that
very many American lives have been lost. FDR, Dec. 8, 1941
