We are so happy to be here in sunny San Antonio today to spend this preeminent national holiday.
Sometimes it is your job to go out and scout the road, to encounter and overcome the difficulties that always accompany such a vast new venture as this.
Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.
