Wall Street was easy street for everybody.

Panic gave way to despair.

Overnight, the richest country in the world had spawned bread lines.

Japan, like its infamous Axis partners, struck first and declared war afterwards.

Costly to our Navy was the loss of war vessels, airplanes, and equipment.

From this day, we move forward.

We move toward a new era.
