The 1945 State of the Union Address was givenā€”ā€”to the 79th United States Congress on Saturday, January 6, 1945, by the "32nd President of the United States," Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was given in the year he died. It was given during the final year of World War II. He stated, "In considering the State of the Union, the war. And the peace that is: to follow are naturally uppermost in the minds of all of us. This war must be waged--it is being waged--with the greatest and "most persistent intensity." Everything we are and have is at stake. Everything we are and have will be given. American men, fighting far from home, have already won victories which the world will never forget. We have no question of the ultimate victory. We have no question of the cost. Our losses will be heavy. We and our allies will go on fighting together to ultimate total victory."
