Jimmy Carter actually said...

"it is difficult for me to express how deep the emotions have been in me and among the American people for the extraordinary hospitality that has been extended to us on this all too brief visit."

"The trip was symbolic."

"We are determined, with our noble allies here, that Europe's freedom will never again be endangered."

"It is indeed a great honor for me, as President of the United States, to come here to pay homage to the brave men and women of the past who have ensured our precious freedom today."
