A Reminder of Why We Fight
In 1941, America plunged into World War II when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Just a week later on the 150th anniversary of the Bill of Rights, President Franklin Roosevelt described the war as a fight for the rights and freedoms guaranteed to Americans by the Bill of Rights.
"What we face is nothing more nor less than an attempt to overthrow and to cancel out the great upsurge of human liberty of which the American Bill of Rights is the fundamental document."
