"Have we the same ability to endure until peace returns to Vietnam?"

"I don't think the day will ever come when the American people will desert those who stand for them on far-off battlefields in the fight for freedom."

"So we are convinced that the development will make a material contribution to the economic well-being of this area."

"The morale of the American fighting man is as high today as it was in 1944, when the 101st Airborne threw back the enemy at Bastogne."
