In memory of those who served And those who gave the ultimate sacrifice on this sad day in our history. Let us stand unified as we did in those times, 79 years ago to pay homage to over 2400 service members who lost their lives in service of our great nation. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a joint session of the House and Senate the next morning, delivering some of the most remembered words of American history: “Yesterday, December 7, 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. … Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. 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. … As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken forour 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. …” May God Bless America 🇺🇸 #godblessourfallen #rememberbutnotforgoten #veterans #peralharborremembranceday #chefmoyeg #semperfi #weremember (at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIgXxs7Hwoy/?igshid=4telsn9xjco
