On the morning of December 7, 1941, newspapers were advertising cruises to Hawaii. Franklin Roosevelt was sifting through his stamp collection. And the Washington Redskins were playing the Philadelphia Eagles in front of 27,102 fans, including Ensign John F. Kennedy. Seven time zones to the west, Kuzuo Sakamaki, one of a few people who knew World War II was coming, had just navigated his midget two- man submarine into the waters of Pearl Harbor. Long and tubular, the vessel looked like a Jules Verne space ship.

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. 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. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

Engraved on a monument in Hawaii are the words: "December 7, 1941, a day which will live in infamy ... 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. This reference to then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's address to Congress remains as stirring now as it was when Roosevelt uttered those thoughts.

Remember Pearl Harbor!" became a rallying cry for a nation seeking vengeance for Japan's sneak attack on that Hawaiian base on December 7, 1941 - "A date," proclaimed President Franklin D. Roosevelt, "that will live in infamy. There we were minding our own business, and out of sheer villainy those sneaky Japanese sucker punched us. Or so we were, and still are, encouraged to believe. But over the years a very different Pearl Harbor scenario has gradually emerged.
