All of a sudden, seaplanes were dropping bombs in the distance and then of course firmly started coming to us and you see that, you know, the bombs started dropping around you. You know, this is no drill. This is it. And the torpedo planes were making their rounds on the Battleship Row, and there was all on fire and exploding. All we can do is farther, fartherto all airplanes just came by.

The attack was launched at the very moment. Japanese peace envois in Washington sought to continue peace conversation with this country.

The Arizona was on fire, still smoking and in flames. The West Virginia who was sunk, the California and there we will upside down such carnage as they had done to us. It is hard to believe that any country on earth could have done that to our battle fleet.

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.
