For those of us who had the honor to serve in the U.S. Navy, the date which continues to live in infamy.
"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...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."
-President F.D. Roosevelt - 8th December 1941”
