President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke about Pearl Harbor one day after “Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And, while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.

Two men can be seen on the superstructure, upper center. The mast of the USS Tennessee is beyond the burning West Virginia. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.
Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island.
And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has therefore undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense, that 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. I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.” — President Franklin D. Roosevelt - December 8, 1941

All aboard ‘The Polar Express’ For a trip to the North Pole, there’s no finer way to travel than on board The Polar Express. Railroads around the country offer seasonal trips to see Santa between Thanksgiving and Christmas, including the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. and Museum. The festively decorated train offers passengers hot chocolate and cookies and a reading of “The Polar Express” during its one-mile journey along Casco Bay. Chris Van Allsburg’s beloved story of one young boy’s magical winter journey won the Caldecott Medal in 1986.

Surgeon general visits garden program at Los Angeles school LOS ANGELES (AP) — At a high school in urban South Los Angeles, students are growing fruits and vegetables and starting to eat more of them, too. U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy visited the partnership between community organizations and John C. Fremont High School on Friday. The visit was aimed at supporting health initiatives in inner-city neighborhoods starved for fresh produce and grappling with
childhood obesity. Murthy says raising awareness about healthy eating is a first step toward building a demand for fresh fruits and vegetables in such communities. Students involved in the 12-week gardening apprenticeship program say they have tried foods like beets and kumquats for the first time. They’ve also introduced them to their families.
