The Diary Of FDR A Diary entry by: Franklin D. Roosevelt Date: December 7, 1941 Today is a day in history. The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. As president, this makes me feel mad and impotent. My people are looking to me for guidance and assistance to resolve our nation tragedy. It’s a sad day, the only to resolve the attack on our land is to go to war. So, I did what I had to do. In the wake of all this I have taken a very long look at my life. Have I lived a good life' Was I a good Senator, secretary of Navy, and president' Was I good father, husband, son' Have I made the right decisions in life and for my family and country' These questions have been going through my head all day long. I started of thinking back to when I was a small boy growing up in Hyde Park, New York; this is in Dutchess County. I became extremely fascinated with birds. I loved to watch them and look at them in all their beautiful colors, and how each of their feathers where precisely placed perfectly on their body to create fluid graceful movement.
