Bill Clinton

On this island, where America's peace was first shattered and then restored, we commemorate the triumph of freedom over tyranny.

Jim Daniels remembers that, and I quote, 'It didn't matter. We had a job to do, and we had to do it together.'

I am delighted to unveil this fifth and final set of stamps honoring the men and women who brought our Nation victory in World War II.

You understood that you could together make the world a better place and that you could not permit America again to withdraw from the world.

We learned in World War II the forces of darkness give no quarter; they must be confronted and defeated.

They will for a long time remind all of our people of the spirit that animated our triumph and the common cause that united us 50 years ago.

Today, our challenge is to build on the foundation they laid, to keep our Nation strong and to give all Americans the opportunity to make the most of their own lives as we move into the 21st century.

I believe that after asking so much of these men and women, our country should keep its commitment to them and find a better path to balance the budget.

His accomplishments and those of thousands of other African-Americans who served our Nation so valiantly helped to open the way to the day when all Americans will be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their…

We must never forget both the tragedy and the triumph of that time because it holds lessons for all time.

The role of women in our Nation was changed forever.

I have a good plan to balance the budget.

Old divisions melted away as our people turned to the job of liberating the world and then to the task of creating a better future at home.

May God bless the Americans who brought us to this day, and may God bless America.

I think that kind of broken commitment is unconscionable.

It falls now to us to stand against those who sow the seeds of war and to stand with those who take the risks of peace.

Hillary and I wish all of you a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

Fifty years ago today, on the deck of the aircraft carrier Missouri in Tokyo Bay, freedom finally prevailed.

We will never forget your fight for our freedom.

America had not given up, and America was on the offensive.

Our security, our prosperity, our standing among other nations, all these are the legacy of the men and women, the heroes before us who we honor today.

I hereby determine that it is important to the security interests of the United States to furnish up to $4 million in funds.

You represent the best of our country, our best hope for the future.

They forged the international institutions, the economic institutions, the United Nations, and NATO, that brought 50 years of security and prosperity to our Nation, to Europe, and to Japan.

I authorized these actions in conjunction with our NATO allies to implement the relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions and NATO decisions.
