Our Nation would not be as strong as it is today without the millions
of individuals who sacrificed to build it. Our Nation's strength--what
truly makes America great--is rooted firmly in our shared sense of
sacrifice. It comes from our single parents working multiple jobs just
to make sure our kids don't go to school hungry; it comes from the
farmer in Illinois waking long before dawn and working long after dusk
to help power and feed our Nation; it comes from an immigrant family
willing to put everything on the line to give their kids a chance at a
better life than their own; it comes from the hard work and compassion,
the sacrifice that Americans serving in our country in and out of the
military demonstrate every single day. We can all do a better job of remembering the shared values that have
helped to build this Nation, but I want to make one thing clear:
America is already great. We shouldn't let anyone tell us otherwise.
