This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.
This country needs good farmers, good businessmen, good plumbers, good carpenters.
As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…
This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.
