Remember that every generation has lost lives to gaurd the sacred freedoms we have. In war, poverty, crime and poor health they battled to keep freedom for themselves and pass it down to their children. That struggle continues and we must not lax. We all must press on and play our part.
"Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow."
Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith."
Ronald Reagan
"Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession."
George Washington
"I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
George W. Bush
"Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital."
Thomas Jefferson
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
John F. Kennedy
