Eunice Kennedy Shriver, 1921-2009 You are the stars and the world is watching you. By your presence you send a message to every village, every city, every nation. A message of hope. A message of victory. The right to play on any playing field? You have earned it. The right to study in any school? You have earned it. The right to hold a job? You have earned it. The right to be anyone's neighbor? You have earned it. ...Eunice Kennedy Shriver, 1987 Special Olympics World Games, South Bend, Indiana
