At a time when the American people are working harder and longer than they have been in the last 10 years at their own jobs, they still find...
Each act of service pulls us together and pushes us forward.
They show us once again that altruism will always triumph over the forces of divisiveness.
It is that spirit which we honor today.
That is the real America, and no matter what else happens, we should never forget it.
Americans were united in a spirit of service.
They gain when we give.
Large or small, our communities have never been built with bricks and mortar alone.
The simple desire to fulfill the promise of American life.
We nonetheless recognize that much remains to be done.
Victim advocacy can be a lifeline to emotional survival.
Every year, more than 36 million people in America become the victims of crime.
I think we can strike the right balance.
We must move on with law enforcement measures quickly.
Justice in this case must be swift, certain, and severe.
I urge all Americans to pause and remember the victims of crime.
I believe that is the direction we ought to be going in.
I feel that I'm back home again.
