Harry Truman actually said...

"I direct the officials of the Federal Government and I request the officials of the State and local government to display the Flag of our Republic on all public buildings on Flag Day."

"I urge the people of the United States on that day to fly the American Flag from their homes."

"It is our custom each year to set aside a day on which to render special honor to our Flag."

"Decent unemployment benefits would serve as a bulwark against postwar deflation."
