Level 3: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt- FDR

I can say with … confidence that no Americans, today or a thousand years hence, need feel anything but pride in our patience … toward achieving a peace in the Pacific …  The course that Japan has followed for the past ten years in Asia has paralleled the course of Hitler … in Europe and Africa.

In 1931, Japan invaded Manchukuo—without warning. In 1939, Hitler invaded Poland—without warning. In 1940, Hitler invaded Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium --without warning. In 1940, Italy attacked France …—without warning. In 1941, Hitler invaded Russia—without warning. And now Japan has attacked Malaya and Thailand—and the United States— without warning.

…  We are now in this war. We are all in it—all the way. Every single man, woman and child is a partner in the most tremendous undertaking of our American history.
