INFORMAL EXTEMPORANEOUS REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
ON THE OCCASION OF THE UNVEILING
OF THE ROBERT E. LEE MEMORIAL STATUE
DALLAS, TEXAS
June 12, 1936
I am very happy to take part in this unveiling
of the statue of General Robert E. Lee.
All over the United States we recognize him as
a great leader of men, as a great general. But, also,
all over the United States I believe that we recognize
him as something much more important than that. We rec-
ognize Robert E. Lee as one of our greatest American
Christians and one of our greatest American gentlemen.
