John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “I urge the people of the United States to commemorate the significance of the Medal of Honor during this centennial…”

I regard it as serious.

It symbolizes, I believe, this highway, first of all, the partnership between the Federal Government and the States, which is essential to the progress of all of our people.

I know who they are going to blame.

I congratulate you, the people of Delaware, the people of Maryland, and the people of the United States.
