In The Two Centuries That Have Passed Since 1776, Millions Upon Millions Of Americans Have Worked And Taken Up Arms When Necessary To Make That Dream A Reality. We Can Be Extremely Proud Of What They Have Accomplished. Today, We Are The World's Oldest Republic. We Are At Peace. Our Nation And Our Way Of Life Endure. We Are Free.

I Had Pro Offers From The Detroit Lions And Green Bay Packers, Who Were Pretty Hard Up For Linemen In Those Days. If I Had Gone Into Professional Football The Name Jerry Ford Might Have Been A Household Word Today.

I Had A Lot Of Experience With People Smarter Than I Am.

I Remember As A Ranger The First Time I Stood Alone On Inspiration Point Over At Canyon Station Looking Out Over This Beautiful Land. I Thought To Myself How Lucky I Was That My Parents' And Grandparents' Generation Had The Vision And The Determination To Save It For Us. Now It Is Our Turn To Make Our Own Gift Outright To Those Who Will Come After Us, 15 Years, 40 Years, 100 Years From Now. I Want To Be As Faithful To My Grandchildren's Generation As Old Faithful Has Been To Ours. What Better Way Can We Add A New Dimension To Our Third Century Of Freedom?

This Is An Hour Of History That Troubles Our Minds And Hurts Our Hearts.
