will
work
tirelessly
to
lessen
the
nuclear
threat，and
roll
back
the
specter
of
a
warming
planet.
We
will
not
apologize
for
our
way
of
life，nor
will
we
waver
in
its
defense，and
for
those
who
seek
to
advance
their
aims
by
inducing
terror
and
slaughtering
innocents，we
say
to
you
now
that
our
spirit
is
stronger
and
cannot
be
broken;you
cannot
outlast
us，and
we
will
defeat
you.
For
we
know
that
our
patchwork
heritage
is
a
strength，not
a
weakness.
We
are
a
nation
of
Christians
and
Muslims，Jews
and
Hindus-and
non-believers.
We
are
shaped
by
every
language
and
culture，drawn
from
every
end
of
this
Earth;and
because
we
have
tasted
the
bitter
swill
of
civil
war
and
segregation，and
emerged
from
that
dark
chapter
stronger
and
more
united，we
cannot
help
but
believe
that
the
old
hatreds
shall
someday
pass;that
the
lines
of
tribe
shall
soon
dissolve;that
as
the
world
grows
smaller，our
common
humanity
shall
reveal
itself;and
that
America
must
play
its
role
in
ushering
in
a
new
era
of
peace...
As
we
consider
the
road
that
unfolds
before
us，we
remember
with
humble
gratitude
those
brave
Americans
who，at
this
very
hour，patrol
far-off
deserts
and
distant
mountains.
They
have
something
to
tell
us
today，just
as
the
fallen
heroes
who
lie
in
Arlington
whisper
through
the
ages.
We
honor
them
not
only
because
they
are
guardians
of
our
liberty，but
because
they
embody
the
spirit
of
service;a
willingness
to
find
meaning
in
something
greater
than
themselves.
And
yet，at
this
moment-a
moment
that
will
define
a
generation-it
is
precisely
this
spirit
that
must
inhabit
us
all.
For
as
much
as
government
can
do
and
must
do，it
is
ultimately
the
faith
and
determination
of
the
American
people
upon
which
this
nation
relies.
It
is
the
kindness
to
take
in
a
stranger
when
the
levees
break，the
selflessness
of
workers
who
would
rather
cut
their
hours
than
see
a
friend
lose
their
job
which
sees
us
through
our
darkest
hours.
It
is
the
firefighter’s
courage
to
storm
a
stairway
filled
with
smoke，but
