“The day that will live on in infamy” was the seminal phrase President Franklin D. Roosevelt used in his historic address to describe the Empire of Japan’s attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in December 1941. Immediately following his speech, the US Congress voted to declare war on Japan. In advance of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, hear unique insights about historic details surrounding these infamous events from Daniel Martinez, chief historian for the Pearl Harbor National Memorial.
