Harry Truman actually said...

I thought we had a perfect toastmaster, or presiding officer, for this occasion in Wilson Wyatt.

If I remember correctly, I stood right here on the 19th of February 1948, and told you that you were looking at the next President.

I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, April 6, 1949, as Army Day

I sincerely hope that you will give me credit for going the same way.
