The journey of this country has been one filled with sacrifice and tears. Our continued fight for freedom and liberty has been a path paved with sweat and persistence. The hands that built America are calloused and bruised, blistered and swollen and the faces that make up our people are mapped with the stressed lines of hard work and determination. Our triumphs are born through the suffering of many and the foundation of our country is built with the hopes and dreams of those who chose to give their all for a better life. We are the greatest nation on Earth.
We have fought wars, both foreign and domestic. We, the people, have sacrificed our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, fathers and mothers in our never ending pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. Together we have woven the unbreakable spirit of America, for we have always stood strong in the face of fear and adversity and shown bravery in our darkest moments. We do not coward. We do not turn our backs. We are one nation, strong, and the shining light of freedom throughout the world.
Throughout our history we have met with obstacles. We have been confronted with difficult decisions. We have stumbled. We have worried, but we have never fallen. These United States are built with the strength of many. We are not afraid of what is put in our path. We never give up.
Our unbreakable spirit, our unfaltering determination, and our pride make us who we are. As we pledge allegiance to our flag we continue our promise to the republic for which it stands. So many have given up one life for a better life and have immigrated to this country to fulfill their dreams and achieve their goals and so many have succeeded and continue to succeed every single day. In the United States anything is possible. We are the beacon of hope to the world and our flame will never be extinguished, our spirit will never be broken.
