"The speed with which we have been able to strengthen our defenses should be a source of inspiration and encouragement to men everywhere who love freedom."
"I APPRECIATE your report that, as of March 21, 1951, the strength of the United States Armed Forces will be double what it was nine months ago, when communist forces invaded the Republic of Korea."
"This tremendous gain in our strength has been made necessary by the lawless aggression of communist forces in Korea, and by the menace of still further communist attacks against other free nations."
"The armed forces we are building, and the supplies for them which our factories, farms, and mines are turning out, are for the protection and preservation of our freedoms."
