Weremainayoungnation, butinthewordsofScripture, thetimehascometosetasidechildishthings. Thetimehascometoreaffirmourenduringspirit;tochooseourbetterhistory;tocarryforwardthatpreciousgift, thatnobleidea, passedonfromgenerationtogeneration:

Inreaffirmingthegreatnessofournation, weunderstandthatgreatnessisneveragiven. Itmustbeearned. Ourjourneyhasneverbeenoneofshortcutsorsettlingforless.
