Southern Ontario is somewhere on the other side of the international date line. Ya learn somethin new ever day. Even your posted date says Dec 7th 2:46AM and here it is 8pm on the 6th in Oregon. Ontario should be 2 to 3 hr. behind Oregon....I'm confused...anyway that was an interesting post with the entire speech, never heard the whole thing before .
Thanks Dimi!
FDR had quite a voice and certainty about his convictions. Our current stand-in would never be so strong and convincing, he'd have too many aahhhhhs and pauses while he tried to read from the prompter. He'd also probably loose his bladder behind the podium and soil his silk panties.

I guess I don't!!! my post time was also Dec. 7th but the thing is, I read the post on the 6th, which is not the anniversary. I just looked over my account and don't see any way to change the time stamp.

Its never nice being king hit, but it was the only chance the Japanese had of beating the USA, IF they had caught your carriers in port.
As it was all it really did was motivate the USA to finally get involved in another european war.
In hindsight its the worst possible thing the Axis powers could have done, until then they had the upper hand on all fronts and the allies and commonwealth were struggling.
The rest as they say is history.
I visited Pearl harbour and the Arizona memorial 30 yrs ago, a very sobering sight.
Lest we forget.

Actually the truth be told, I mixed up the dates in my mind.
