The Pearl Harbor Address by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the most rhetoric and motivational speeches in United States history. This speech was given to the people the day after the Pearl Harbor attacks. A video of the speech is provided above thanks to YouTube. The President spoke publicly and motivated the people of the United States to remember the bombings and to gain national pride in order to defeat the enemy. This address is a perfect example of public speaking because it was presented to the entire country. The timing was right as well because the bombings were still in the minds of the citizens and the speech was therefore more powerful. FDR spoke clearly and confidently along with making many great points that are still recited today. This speech remains in my memory from the first time I viewed it because it is one of the greatest speeches of all time.
