What this nation needs…
Our nation is on a brink. This brink is to be great once again, or to fall like the empires that built the annuals of history. Our nation does not need spectacular new ideas, nor world wind governmental change, but something so much simpler, so much easier.
This nation needs no division, but understanding, not deceit, but caring, not judgment, but understanding, and not hatred, but a renewed love of our neighbor. Today, we need to stand up for what we believe in, and we need to believe in what has built America. Today, the historical significance of each battle, each drop of blood, and sweat dropped to build this nation is at a crossroad, and only we, the citizens can save it from a future of unknown divisions.
Our country, built on the ideal of opportunity, an ideal of working together to create the most significant country of known history, and we have the amazing opportunity to carry this forward. Today, we need to remember Bobby Kennedy’s words, and come together to make America great once again. Today we need to rid our divisions, and come together for our country, and to honor John F. Kennedy’s words of “Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
Today is monumental, today is the brink of greatness, or disaster, and the path that we, this nation take shall affect our future beyond imagination. Today we need to begin to mend fences, cross aisles, understand our neighbors, appreciate our opportunities, and come together once again, so we may take our country to new and great heights. No more division, no more sadness, just the opportunity to come together to make the change this country so desperately needs.
Today we need to honor those who fought to make our country great, from the revolutionaries, to the civil war heroes, to our presidents in time of great threats, to our imagination that has taken our scientific community to heights not long ago believed impossible. Today, we can choose to be great, or just average. Today is a door that we can open to acceptance and cohesiveness. The choice lies in our hands, what shall we do?
