Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends.

Let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.

The free world knows, out of the bitter wisdom of experience, that vigilance and sacrifice are the price of liberty.

The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
