"As Commander in Chief of the Army
and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. 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."
He couldn't walk, yet he had more strength and courage than people who could. Because of him, America was strong.
