The true history of America is that no nation in the history of the world has rescued more people, freed more people, fed more people, ministered to more people, and, yes, evangelized more people around the globe. No nation in the history of the world has been more welcoming to people from all nationalities, all races, all ethnicities, and given more opportunity, more upward mobility to people of all races, all ethnicities, and all nationalities. No nation in the history of the world did as the United States did just some 85 years after declaring our independence, where the Nation went to war with itself where the majority population suffered great loss of blood and treasure to free the minority population. No nation in the history of the world has it happened like it has happened in the United States of America. It was our Founding documents and principles that provided the framework for us to realize our ideals of all men being created equal, endowed by our Creator by unalienable rights. The United States is unique among the nations of the world. Our history is worth preserving. It is worth protecting. It is worth remembering. It is worth honoring. It is worth learning and growing from. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
