 Yesterday, December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America, was suddenly and deliberately attacked. 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. 2017 marks the 76th anniversary since the island of Oahu became a battleground for the servicemen and women of Naval Station Pearl Harbor. Today, we remember those servicemembers and their fight to save their brothers and sisters in arms and defend the United States of America. 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.
