December 7th, 1941, a day that will live in infamy are the famous words that made FDR's declaration of war so memorable. In his declaration of war he stated that the United States had tried to keep relations with Japan peaceful and were given a message from Japan an hour before the attack that gave no intentions of war from Japan. He said given the proximity of Hawaii it is doubtless that this attack had been planned for days, if not weeks. He also said that Japan attacked several other Pacific Islands, which means they have no intentions of stopping expanding their empire. He said that the United States will not rest until it can ensure the safety of its proud citizens.
