We are Americans
Let's remember on September 11, 2011, this historic message of President John F. Kennedy's January 20, 1961, inaugural address:
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge – and more.
Remember, today and every day, that we are Americans.
