John Kennedy actually said...

"The Peace Corps offers a special and timely opportunity to put dedicated Americans to work for the cause of world peace and human understanding."

"I call upon the people to observe that day with suitable ceremonies, including the display of the flag at their homes and other appropriate places."

"The great strength of our country is the willingness of people such as yourselves to undertake this kind of work."

"This country wants peace and this country wants freedom."
