Throwback Thursday
“Yesterday, December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy— the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” That’s what President Franklin Roosevelt was saying in his special radio broadcast on Dec. 8, one heard by members of the staff of a U.S. Army recruiting station gathering around a radio in Boston in this photo. Enlistment in the armed forces surged in the weeks to come as the U.S. entered WWII. (AP Photo)
