Bill Clinton

“ As we preserve the memory of the events of World War II and honor the memory of our loved ones lost during that tragic time, I call upon Americans to study the history of that era so that the values our Nation defended and the lessons we learned will never be forgotten. I ask that we celebrate freedom and peace in our houses of worship and in our halls of government, in private thanksgiving and public ceremonies, and that we remember and honor our Nation's World War II veterans. ”

“ Our generation and future generations must heed these words. In a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but threatened still by ancient hatreds and new plagues, the United States of America must stand as a beacon of liberty and justice. ”

“ We are faced with the pre-eminent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationship -- the ability of all people, of all kinds, to live together and work together in the same world, at peace. ”
