I hope to some day be able to come there and see you in your own land, in your own atmosphere.
Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.
Men like this have seen our country through every crisis that has ever confronted our Nation.
Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.
