Harry Truman actually said...

"I direct the officials of the Federal Government and I request the officials of the State and local government to display the Flag of our Republic on all public buildings on Flag Day."

"Let us observe this Flag Day by raising our Flag and beside it the flags of the United Nations."

"It is our custom each year to set aside a day on which to render special honor to our Flag."

"We celebrate Flag Day this year with a fresh sense of our strength as a nation."
