Bill Clinton actually said...

"I urge all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through appropriate public ceremonies and private prayers."

"The credit for our own freedom, as well as our continued security, belongs overwhelmingly to the men and women who have served in our Nation's Armed Forces—our veterans."

"I believe it takes a village to raise a child, to build a future, to build a country."

"It is our duty to remember what our veterans have done and to uphold our commitments to them and their families."
