Harry Truman actually said...
Now, Therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby request the people of this Nation to observe Sunday, November 11, 1951, as Armistice Day, by public and private ceremonies designed not only to honor those who strove so valiantly for victory and peace in 1918, and all other Americans who have fought for our freedom, but also to express our renewed prayers for the establishment of permanent peace.
