Roosevelt said in his fireside chat the evening of December 29, 1940, nearly a year before the United States was drawn into World War II. " We must be the great arsenal of democracy.

We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice, as we would show were we at war.
