“I share with my colleagues a poem by Albert Carey Caswell. And to This End And to this end Approach Heaven, our True American Hero . . . America's finest of all true friends Rest now . . . our Great American Patriot . . . as up to Heaven your magnificent soul as so ascends. And to this end And oh, what to this our Country you have so been With that, your warm smile and that thick brown hair . . . and what your heart of gold has so meant. And to this end The promise, and your gift . . . the pride and the respect . . . believing in us as if . . . as you'd begin Bringing your Nation back to shore, our savior . . . rescuing & seeing the light that others so ignored. And to this end Breaking down walls, hearing the children's calls . . . wearing your heart on your sleeve To believe . . . In God and Country, and in all of those things which made us free . . . all in you we see. And to this end To dream . . . to start from nothing, as it would so seem As was yours . . . this The Great American Dream . . . as is this, our Nation's greatest of all themes. And to this end Returning and The Pride and The Respect . . . to America's greatest of all assets Her fighting Women & Men . . . her one true fine reason why we all can dream, you'd not let us forget. And to this end As you brought the light, into that battle against the darkness . . . this your courageous fight As you have brought us hope, where there was none . . . as your journey begun . . . for what was right.…”
