Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"For these voices mean that we are a nation of our word--that we are proud of the brave Americans in uniform who back our words with deeds."

"These young Americans felt that there should be a postage stamp telling our servicemen how much we appreciate their sacrifices."

"I am grateful to each of them for helping us in this effort."

"Today we have come here to unveil a new postage stamp which embodies the spirit of the American people and carries their voice to the entire world."
