Bill Clinton

“ On farms and in factories, mines, and shipyards, Americans labored around the clock to supply the food, weapons, and equipment needed to win the war. In our homes, schools, and places of worship, Americans from every walk of life prayed and worked together for victory. And-as a powerful testament to America's resilience-battleships damaged at Pearl Harbor returned to service and helped break the back of the Japanese fleet.
The generation that fought World War II came home to build new careers and communities and made America the richest, freest nation in history. ”

“ Some men and women remained in uniform, safeguarding our liberties and ensuring that tyranny would never again threaten our shores. In peace, this generation vowed never again to be unprepared and gave our Nation the security and progress that we have known and cherished for over 50 years. ”
