Lyndon Johnson: “As a result, that village and other villages bear the mark of the Marines who have been there.”

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.

Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

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.
