Now, Therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby ask that on Flag Day, June 14, 1949, the people of the Nation honor our colors by displaying them at their homes or other suitable places and by giving thanks for their privileges as citizens under this flag as well as by engaging in earnest contemplation of the obligations inherent in citizenship.

More from Harry Truman
My decision should not be interpreted as establishing any new pattern or policy.
They should be strong enough to see that unified multiple-purpose development is planned for, and works operated harmoniously in each basin-wide comprehensive system.
We venerate these documents not because they are old, not because they are valuable historical relics, but because they still have meaning for us.
