Eleanor Roosevelt - Response to NewsBlast #2

Indeed, a day will live in infamy...

My deepest prayers and sympathies are sent to all of those souls lost in that cowardly and unwarranted attack.  Right now, the big questions seems to be:  How do we handle the amount of death and still maintain a sense of honor and reverence towards lives so gruesomely taken at the base?  Estimates of deaths in the USS Arizona alone approach 1,200 boys lost.  My husband is still in a state of shock as he tries to regroup.

We are currently in many meetings with General Eisenhower as to how we should proceed. Most of all, we are now in World War again...just like that.  We now have to face the task that Germany could not accomplish in 1914; we must fight a war on two fronts against militaries that are both tough and determined.  We have never fought the Japanese.

I will be spending a great deal of time with our boys as they fight the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean area.  Only time can tell how that front will unfold.  The atrocities committed by the cowardly Japanese tell a frightening future.  Our troops may be in for a terrifying surprise. 

My prayers of courage go out to all of our boys in Bataan and the Philippines under General MacArthur.

General, if you're out there tonight, how are you and your boys faring in Bataan?  We would love an update.

Here are our recent photos of the aftermath we are dealing with:
