Barack Obama actually said...

Let us renew our sacred commitment to those who answered our country's call in Vietnam and those who awaited their safe return.

We pledge to keep faith with those who were wounded and still carry the scars of war, seen and unseen.

During National Hurricane Preparedness Week, we rededicate ourselves to preventing loss of life and damage to property by raising awareness ...

I do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 28, 2012, as a day of prayer for permanent peace.
