I Know That For America There Will

May All Of You As Americans Never Forget Your Heroic Origins, Never Fail To Seek Divine Guidance, And Never Lose Your Natural God-given Optimism.

I Was 21 And Looking For Work In 1932, One Of The Worst Years Of The Great Depression. And I Can Remember One Bleak Night In The Thirties When My Father Learned On Christmas Eve That He'd Lost His Job. To Be Young In My Generation Was To Feel That Your Future Had Been Mortgaged Out From Under You, And That's A Tragic Mistake We Must Never Allow Our Leaders To Make Again.

Freedom Is The Right To Question And Change The Established Way Of Doing Things. It Is The Continuing Revolution Of The Marketplace. It Is The Understanding That Allows Us To Recognize Shortcomings And Seek Solutions. It Is The Right To Put Forth An Idea, Scoffed At By The Experts, And Watch It Catch Fire Among The People. It Is The Right To Follow Your Dream, Or Stick To Your Conscience Even If You're The Only One In A Sea Of Doubters.

In Our Observances This Memorial Day, We Honor The Brave Americans Who Paid The Highest Price For Their Commitment To The Ideals Of Peace, Freedom, And Justice. Our Debt To Them Can Be Paid Only By Our Own Recommitment To Preserving Those Same Ideals.

Simple Morality Dictates That Unless And Until Someone Can Prove The Unborn Human Is Not Alive, We Must Give It The Benefit Of The Doubt And Assume It Is (alive). And, Thus, It Should Be Entitled To Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness.
