The Day

Too many no longer mention this day. I've been guilty in the past of only giving it a glancing mention.

For some reason, not this year.

At the start of the modern age, in a time when speeches were short, sharp, and to the point.

From the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor; FDR's "Day of Infamy" Speech in full.

Nothing more is really needed today. In style, substance, ad perspective - this informs us today as much as it did then.
