This Sunday marks the 67th anniversary of the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. That attack, as you know, spurred President Franklin D. Roosevelt to send the United States into World War II.

In remembrance of that horrific day, on which 2,402 people perished, we’ve posted both Mr. Roosevelt’s famous "Day of Infamy" speech, as well as First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s personal remarks.

It’s ladies first, of course, so here’s what Mrs. Roosevelt had to say for herself:

WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 8, 1941 - I was going out in the hall to say good-bye to our cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Adams, and their children, after luncheon, and, as I stepped out of my room, I knew something had happened. All the secretaries were there, two telephones were in use, the senior military aides were on their way with messages. I said nothing because the words I heard over the telephone were quite sufficient to tell me that, finally, the blow had fallen, and we had been attacked.

Attacked in the Philippines, in Hawaii and on the ocean between San Francisco and Hawaii. Our people had been killed not suspecting there was an enemy, who attacked in the usual ruthless way which Hitler has prepared us to suspect.

Because our nation has lived up to the rules of civilization, it will probably take us a few days to catch up with our enemy, but no one in this country will doubt the ultimate outcome. None of us can help but regret the choice which Japan has made, but having made it, she has taken on a coalition of enemies she must underestimate unless she believes we have sadly deteriorated since our first ships sailed into her harbor.

The clouds of uncertainty and anxiety have been hanging over us for a long time. Now we know where we are. The work for those who are at home seems to be obvious. First, to do our own job, whatever it is, as well as we can possibly do it. Second, to add to it everything we can do in the way of civilian defense. Now, at last, every community, must go to work to build up protection from attack.

We must build up the best possible community services, so that all of our people may feel secure because they know we are standing together and that whatever problems have to be met will be met by the community and not one lone individual. There is no weakness and insecurity when once this is understood.

Those words may have been written 67 years ago, but the urgency and unity Mrs. Roosevelt implores are eerily timely.

Now, many of you have heard this speech before — and for good reason. Roosevelt’s remarks have gone down in history as some of the most important words in American history. Here’s a montage of attack photos with Roosevelt’s speech as an oratorial score.
