"I have not forgotten the Pueblo
and its valiant crew who, like all our servicemen have taken an oath to
defend the United States.
Neither have I forgotten their wives and families and the heavy burden of
sorrow and despair they, too have carried for the past 182 days. My sympathy
goes out to them, and I join with millions of our fellow countrymen in
praying for the safe return of their loved ones. On this anniversary, we need
to reassure them--and the world--that the Pueblo
and its men have not been forgotten--and will not be forgotten--that we will
not rest until they are home again…
"Next Sunday, July 28 let us show our true colors. Fly your flag for
the Pueblo-- , for our servicemen everywhere. Fly your flag
for freedom."
