Re: [AMC-list] Fwd: FW: MAD & SENDING THIS TO EVERYONE



Joe,

"So Help Us God" is from a later paragraph in FDR's speech. What is engraved is correct and comprehensive.

The complete text of his speech that was delivered on 8 December 1941 and an explanation for those who don't have a clear recollection of history is here:

Please don't pass along hoaxes.
