Detailed explanation-1: -Thus that first historic sentence-the one that is usually quoted from the speech-was born: “Yesterday, December 7, 1941-a date which will live in infamy-the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."
Detailed explanation-2: -Roosevelt’s description of December 7, 1941, as “a date which will live in infamy” was borne out; the date became shorthand for the Pearl Harbor attack in much the same way that November 22, 1963, and September 11, 2001, became inextricably associated with the assassination of John F.
