We can not
dedicate
We can not
consecrate
We can not
hallow — this ground
Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address
It means to
try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months.
It means to
make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family.
It means to
say your goodbyes.
Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Speech
These men
are our fathers, grandfathers and even great-grandfathers.
These men
have been and will be apart of our lives in ways that go far beyond the Tokyo Raid.
These men
are the crews that have made sure our families’ lives were on the right path.
Speech on the Doolittle reunion
This was the moment
when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.
This was the moment
when we ended a war, and secured our nation, and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.
This was the moment
, this was the time when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals.
