Harry Truman actually said...

Guaranteed wage plans should not be the subject of legislative action.

Now, Therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, April 7, 1947, as Army Day

I therefore urge my fellow countrymen to be mindful of the Army's needs

There is no means by which we can better honor our heroic dead than by our support of their living comrades
