# Remember Pearl Harbor Day

A text-only anniversary sheet in a red, white and blue star border with a pale Liberty Bell behind the lines. It lists four resolutions ('Remember and honor', 'Give thanks to God', 'Take stock of', 'Re-dedicate') and ends 'Work! Fight! Sacrifice!'. Bell, Bill of Rights and Constitution are invoked in broad terms (glittering generalities, transfer).

```
On this anniversary of the attack
upon Pearl Harbor let us—

REMEMBER AND HONOR
the men and women who have already
given their lives in this struggle.

GIVE THANKS TO GOD
for our survival of the unprovoked attack
by ruthless enemies.

TAKE STOCK OF
what we have done in one year of war
and what lies ahead to be done in terms
of Work-Fight-Sacrifice.

RE-DEDICATE
our strength, time, wealth and our very
lives to preserve a concept of living more
precious than individual life itself.

For our priceless Bill of Rights and
our Constitution of the United States
of America we will

WORK! FIGHT! SACRIFICE!
