FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT'S "NAVY DAY ADDRESS" ON THE ATTACK ON THE DESTROYER KEARNEY

October 27, 1941

"Nobody who admires qualities of courage and endurance can fail to be stirred by the full-fledged resistance of the Russian people. The Russians are fighting for their own soil and their own homes. Russia needs all kinds of help-planes, tanks, guns, medical supplies and other aids-toward the successful defense against the invaders. From the United States and from Britain, she is getting great quantities of those essential supplies. But the needs of her huge army will continue-and our help and British help will have to continue!...Upon our American production falls the colossal task of equipping our own armed forces, and helping to supply the British, the Russians and the Chinese. In the performance of that task we dare not fail. And we will not fail."
