Loyalty Day 1967 thus becomes an opportunity for the vast majority in America—while respecting the right of dissent—to affirm their conviction that freedom is indivisible, their realization that the cruel burden of war must be carried, and their heartfelt gratitude to those who are risking their lives in harsh witness to our ideals.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.
I call upon them to cooperate fully with the Secretaries of Commerce and State in this important work.
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.
