Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"Until we were attacked at Pearl Harbor we had done our utmost to live as friendly self-respecting neighbors of the Japanese in the Pacific."

"We promised to return; we have returned."

"Now, Therefore, by virtue of the authority so vested in me as President, the following regulations are hereby prescribed:"

"You have the Nation's gratitude and the Nation's prayers for success as you and your men fight your way back to Bataan."
