Pearl Harbor Forum

It was a day that “lives in infamy,” but now the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941 takes on added resonance and serves as a vital and frightening reminder of how a single moment can change the course of history forever.

The following day U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appeared before a joint session of Congress and asked for an official declaration of war against Japan. Our thirty-second president's speech to Congress can be heard here at http://historychannel.com/speeches/index.html
