LAD #34: FDR's Declaration of War

FDR's Declaration of War was incredibly effective.  Not only did he have the audience of Congress, but his speech was also broadcast throughout the United States and was the most-listened-to broadcast to date.  FDR opens with the immortal words, "a date which will live in infamy." 
He goes on to explain that not only did the Japanese intentionally deceive the United States prior to their attack, but the Pearl Harbor assault was only a part of a massive offensive across the Pacific.  FDR closes by stating his faith in America and his belief that the country will endure and overcome all odds through sheer effort and force of will.  Finally, he asks that Congress give him the Declaration of War against the Japanese.
