Select the correct text in the passage.
Read the following excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Day of Infamy” speech. Which line reveals the purpose of the speech?
Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. 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.
I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounded determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

....I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.....
Explanation:
- Just before 8:00 am the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Hawaiian time, the President was informed by Secretary Knox. Harry Hopkins, a top aide who was with Roosevelt at the time, could not believe the report.
- For the rest of that afternoon, sixty years ago, Roosevelt and his advisers were busy at the White House receiving fragmentary reports about the damage to US.installations, ships, and planes in Hawaii.
- The protection around the White House has improved, and preparations have been made for the President's bomb shelter under the nearby Treasury building.
- Across the country, news of the radio attack and word of mouth spread and Americans started to focus on what life would be like in a wartime nation.
