"December 7th, 1941... a date which will live in INFAMY... The United States of America... was suddenly and deliberately ATTACKED... by naval and air forces... of the Empire of JAPAN." As you sit in front of your Macintosh and double-click on this sound, imagine that you are instead in front of your radio, listening to the president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, make this stunning announcement.
Some mark VJ-Day (Victory over Japan) as August 14, 1945 (when Americans first heard the news and celebrated), while others date it as September 2 (when the formal documents of surrender were officially signed). In either case, as we observe the 50th anniversary of World War II's conclusion, this SND is a vivid reminder of America's entry into the war following the notorious Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
