The geographical location in this island state is also known in the Hawaiian language as "Wai Momi," which means "pearl waters." Pearl Harbor, was a primary target of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which precipitated the declaration of war between the US and Japan. The day of the attack has been called a day of infamy. And that from "a date which will live in infamy" from then-President Roosevelt's speech to Congress the following day. The "Day of Infamy" speech can be read (from a picture of the original document) or even listened to online. Take a moment to visit the site. The speech is a short one.
