"It was called the day that shall live in infamy and it brought our nation to war. Today we remember December 7, 1941 and the attack upon US Naval Base Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan. As we reflect upon the loss of life that day, let us not forget the heroism displayed by many ordinary men called to do extraordinary feats -- such as black Messman Third Class, Dorie Miller, Navy Cross recipient.
Today America still has ordinary men and women in uniform doing extraordinary things to protect our nation. Let us commit ourselves to recognizing the enemy and defeating them as we did in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. The Islamic terrorist enemies today may not wear a uniform or represent a defined state, but they represent a clear and present danger and are more vicious. We must pursue victory and not equivocate using ineffective politically-driven descriptions to define evil.
Remember Pearl Harbor!"
