I want you to understand how special a country you and I cherish we take that for granted I really I really believe that sometimes those of us in this country believe America

is the greatest country on earth because god loves us more you love the rest of the we are the greatest country in the history the war because

of the sacrifices and decisions that were made by the those who were entrusted leadership minute before and I give you insight from someone who interacts

with people on it I know people criticize America I know other things wrong with this country I know I'll give you one quick example remember growing up but people use this as an example what's wrong with this country in

nineteen growing up in Los Vegas I remember neighborhood taunting my parents during the Mariel refugee about

may be Americans but that is not America never has because for every one of those and and since I can give you the example of my parents who drove from New York Florida

broke down in the deep sea no one would even know English and they they couldn't stop the number of people that came out and help them in

nineteen sixty one just every negative stories that I could give you an arm there are so many about that reflect the greatness of our I

want you to understand that it's more than just that Iraqi people all the time from all over the world living in Miami that's just the way it is and

there are things about us they don't like but I can tell you they admire this country so much because they see the best and that in

they see people with names like them who look like them who the place they came double and it's more than the rest of the world gives self

governance the that the notion that well can actually govern their own affairs the power came but that's our rights come from god enough

of a is a two hundred year old idea the enormous majority of human beings have never lived under a system that would allow something like and

around the world that's still commonplace so any time someone in the press part of the world or even an emerging democracy wonders can

we make it work is it possible for their children to be democracy and freedom in a Republic where we live all the god of to

do is look to America and they see and you want the evidence of the when was the last read about a boatload of American refugees arriving some other place why

is the greatest American hero every generation of Americans left for their children a better about a life in there I hope this generational leadership will not be the first of well

do you live one day more than it already was going to say I hope I that's what he's going to say in the club the speed and tell me these words don't ring true today as much of the ever he

we in this country in this generation are by death rather than by choice the watchmen on the walls of world for that

we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint and that we may achieve in our time and for all the ancient vision of peace on earth good

will toward that must always be our goal and the righteous of our car must always underlie our strength so

they speak out to us from across three decade from the slain president who never got do not ever forget this of America our

greatness doesn't come from our not from the size of our borders the from the compassion of our people and a commitment to self govern and

the rights of all and and that I hope will never James ninety miles from the source of our very stay a men women of my ancestor inherited who

still do not have that but they look to this country for the hope that they want yeah well we cannot fail them because if we do we will fail the and
