[aap1966]

On learning of the attack, Churchill phoned Roosevelt to confirm the news and then had the British cabinet declare war on Japan. Great Britain and her Empire declared war on Japan as a consequence off Pearl harbour before America did.
Churchill knew that American military and industrial might would win the war, with Germany defeated and Japan “ground to powder.” That night he "slept the sleep of the grateful and saved," not because of an American defeat at Pearl Harbour but rather because he knew that American could not be defeated in the War, which meant that Britain and her allies could not lose.

As I said on Pelican before, American Naval power saved Australia in 1942, and that will not be forgotten.

Thank you to all who served, and serve.
