“America: Resting securely upon the inalienable rights of man-upon the age-enduring foundations of Justice, Honor, Liberty, and Order; Cherishing ideals that inspire unselfish devotion to the common welfare of mankind; Fostering a spirit of self-reliant industry that seeks the just rewards of worthy achievement and usefulness; Progressing so swiftly that yesterday’s vision is overtaken by today’s realities; Aroused anew to meet the challenge defined by George Washington –that ' the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican form of government may be entrusted to the hands of the American people.' ” |
