President Franklin D. Roosevelt's rousing "date which will live in infamy" speech, in which the livid president declares that a state of war exists between the United States and the Empire of Japan, set the tone for World War Two and quickly became one of the most famous speeches in American history. Typescript captioned "Roosevelt's War Message on Japan, December 8, 1941," 1p, 8½ X 13", n.p., n.d. Very good. Mailing folds. Full text of FDR's noted speech, opening with "Yesterday, December 7, 1941" and closing with "I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack. a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire." Boldly signed at the conclusion by four American military leaders (left to right): Chester W. Nimitz (1885-1966), who adds "USN"; James H. Doolittle (1896-1993); Raymond A. Spruance (1886-1969), who adds "Admiral, U.S.N. (Ret.)"; and Albert C. Wedemeyer (1897-1989), who adds "General, U.S.A. Ret." A fine display piece.
