HARDING PROMISES TO SPARE NO EFFORTS TO CARE FOR WOUNDED & DISABLED DEFENDERS
Atlantic City, New Jersey (JFK+50) On Sunday, September 11, 1921, President Warren G. Harding spoke to members of the U.S. Army's Fifth Division here in Atlantic City. The division had recently reassembled in Philadelphia and came to the New Jersey shore where they requested to have the President as their special guest.
Mr. Harding said the nation would spare no efforts to care for its wounded and disabled defenders, but added that those veterans who escaped harm during the war had received their just compensation in supreme sacrifice and experience.
The President said...
"There is nothing too good in America for its veteran defenders."
