Harry Truman actually said...

"It is up to us here at home to back up these men of many nations who are fighting for us and for the freedom of the world in Korea."

"It is most appropriate, therefore, that the District of Columbia chapter of the Red Cross should have a beautiful modern building like the one which is being erected on this site."

"It will be a workshop for the volunteers of the District, and a model of everything a Red Cross chapter house ought to be."

"This is a glorious thing. Great ideas like these have to be fought for."
