" But always will our whole nation remember the character of the
onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome
this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous
might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people
when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost
but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never
again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people,
our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination
of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God."
