"It's fitting that we honor the man who went from being a minister in the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta to being the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize."

"To sum it up, what we have right now is the best darn group of young men and women in uniform that this nation has ever seen, and we're proud of them."

"There can be no doubt the development of Alaskan oil has played an important role in ensuring adequate energy supplies at reasonable prices for American consumers."

"Nothing is more important than keeping alive the gallant tradition of our armed services—a tradition that adds up to a word not just for today but for all time: patriotism."
