"Any American who has ever listened to a bugler sound Taps knows exactly why we set aside a special day each year to honor those who have died for our country and to pray for permanent peace."
"We both share a strong commitment to human rights and democracy."
"I hereby designate Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, 1987, as a day of prayer for permanent peace."
"We pray and we resolve to keep holy the memory of those who have died for our country and to make their cause inseparably our own."
