I will secure that peace through strength and through perseverance and leave that legacy of peace for our children and for their children.
Your generation bears a very special task--the preservation of individualism-but you do not bear that task alone.
I have done a good job under the toughest kinds of circumstances, and I would appreciate your wholehearted support.
We didn't panic. We didn't lose our cool.
