....."We are the country of Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Frederick Douglas..... We are the land of Wild Bill Hickock and Buffalo Bill Cody...... We are the nation that gave rise to the Wright brothers, the Tuskegee airmen, Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton, Jesse Owens, George Patton, General George Patton, the great Louis Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley, and Muhammad Ali,..... and ONLY America could have produced them all.... No other place!

....We are the culture that put up the Hoover Dam, laid down the highways, and sculpted the skyline of Manhattan..... We are the people who dreamed the spectacular dream, it was called Las Vegas in the Nevada desert, who built up Miami from the Florida marsh, and who carved our heroes into the face of Mount Rushmore....

.... Americans harnessed electricity, split the atom, and gave the world the telephone and the internet. We settled the Wild West, won two World Wars, landed American astronauts on the moon...And one day very soon, we will plant our flag on Mars.

....We gave the world the poetry of Walt Whitman, the stories of Mark Twain, the songs of Irving Berlin, the voice of Ella Fitzgerald, the style of Frank Sinatra, the comedy of Bob Hope, the power of the Saturn V rocket, the toughness of the Ford F150, and the awesome might of the American aircraft carriers.

Americans must never lose sight of this miraculous story. We should never lose sight of it. Nobody has ever done it like we have done it!

....."From this night, and from this magnificent place, let us go forward united in our purpose and rededicated in our resolve.....

..... We will raise the next generation of American patriots.... We will write the next thrilling chapter of the American adventure.... And we will teach our children to know that they live in a land of legends, that nothing can stop them, and that no one can hold them down..... They will know that, in America, you can do anything, you can be anything, and together, we can achieve anything.....

.....Uplifted by the titans of Mount Rushmore, we will find unity that no one expected.... We will make strides that no one thought possible.... This country will be everything that our citizens have hoped for for so many years, and that our enemies fear, because we will never forget that the American freedom exists for American greatness.... And that’s what we have, American greatness....

.... Centuries from now, our legacy will be the cities we built, the champions we forged, the good that we did, and the monuments we created to inspire us all.....

My fellow citizens,...... America’s destiny is in our sights... America’s heroes are embedded in our hearts... America’s future is in our hands... And ladies and gentlemen, the best is yet to come!....
