It's 5 AM. You know what that means.
From 5/10/1935 ( ) To 6/11/1997 ( ) is 22678 days

Franklin D. Roosevelt
32nd President of the United States: 1933 ‐ 1945
Statement of Welcome to Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd
May 10, 1935
Admiral Byrd:
I welcome you and your comrades on your return to the United States.
I do this with a sense of high privilege and for two very good reasons.
The first is because of the close association and deep friendship which have existed between you and me for many long years.
The second is because once more you have completed a successful expedition for the gain of human knowledge and the furtherance of the progress of civilization.
It is no small thing to have filled in another large portion of the map of the world which hitherto had remained a blank. It is an equally great achievement to have added valuable information to at least twenty-two separate sciences.
I have been especially interested in the meteorological data obtained by you and your comrades in that Antarctic Continent in which storms and weather changes originate and make themselves later felt in many largely inhabited areas.
To have carried these ship comrades to a dangerous outpost, to have developed your exploratory and scientific work through many months, under the most trying conditions, and to have brought them all safely home to their country and to their families, is an achievement of which the whole Nation is proud.
And so I salute you and your comrades and extend to all of you, in behalf of the American people, a hearty welcome home.
Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
(from internet transcript)
Captain's log, April 5th 2063. The voyage of the Phoenix was a success, ...again. The alien ship detected the warp signature and is on its way to rendezvous with history.
[Montana settlement]
(the T'plana-Hath lands and the Vulcans begin to emerge)
COCHRANE: My God! They're really from another world.
RIKER: And they're going to want to meet the man who flew that warp ship.
VULCAN: Live long, and prosper.
(Cochrane attempts to return the Vulcan salute but settles for a handshake)
COCHRANE: Thanks.
PICARD: I think it's time we made a discrete exit.
RIKER: Riker to Enterprise. Stand by to beam us up.
LILY: You've got to go? ...I envy you. The world you're going to.
PICARD: I envy you. Taking these first steps into a new frontier.
