This celebration period is an important opportunity for this Nation to reflect on the past and, even more so, to look to the future.
I am greatly impressed with the theme of your gathering--'Peace, a common purpose.'
I know from the very outset that we share the same vision for America, a free, rising democracy.
It is my deep conviction that peace depends upon a strong defense.
