A Date which will live in Infamy

Today, on the 69th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, through referring to quite a different threat at the time, unfortunately still ring true: “Hostilities exist…our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.”

The memories of the surprise attack on American soil on December 7, 1941, spur memories of the surprise attack on American soil on September 11, 2001.

We must never again let our enemies catch us by surprise. We must hope and pray that another statement by President Roosevelt 69 years ago today, comes to fruition: “The American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory”.
