Mr. Manager, and ladies and gentlemen and patients of this great
hospital:
I was told that, by detouring a short distance, I could have a

look at you.
I have always been interested in proper care for the men who
served their country in two great world wars, and I am happy to see the
pleasant surroundings of this beautiful hospital here.
I was just telling Paul Douglas that when my time is up, I
expect to spend the balanco of my life in one of these veterans hospitals,
because I am ontitled to go to any one I want, the care is always so
good.
I hope every one of you is well treated. I hope every one of you
has plenty to eat. I can SGO that you have beautiful nurses, and that's
all a man wants when he is in a veterans hospital.
I
am very happy that I got an opportunity to stop by here, and
to assure you that your Government never forgets you -- it makes no
difference who is President of the United States.
