Bill Clinton actually said...

I do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 30, 1994, as a day of prayer for permanent peace.

Each reminds us that we are descendants, whatever our differences, of a common creed, unbeatable when we are united: one nation under God.

Over 400,000 Americans died in the service of our Nation.

I urge the press, radio, television, and all other information media to cooperate in this observance.
