Display throughout the capitol. And after giving a lot of thought, the ohio delegation decided that one of their state statues, that of former governor William Allen just wasnt the best choice. So in his place they have decided to put a statue of the great inventor thomas elva edison, who was born in myland, ohio in 1847. I want to congratulate the people of ohio for this most excellent choice. And i thank all of you for coming here today, especially those of you who came from ohio for joining us in this celebration. Thank you, everybody. [ applause ] ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the presentation of the colors by the United States armed forces color guard, the sing of our national anthem, and the retiring of the colors. O say, can you see by the dawns early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming . Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight oer the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming . And the rockets red glare the bombs
