Pearl HarborThe entire message delivered to a joint
session of Congress on December 8th was short. It took the President less than six minutes to read. The opening phrase, "Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy -- The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." It would later be regarded as the most famous phrase ever uttered by an American President.
