Farm boys from the heartland and city dwellers from the coasts. Teachers and shopkeepers. The Americans buried here are our very best. Full stop. War reveals the true character of a nation and her. The courage of the men who stormed these beaches is the courage that defines the United States of America. May it always may we earn it and remember what they did here. The souls here earned it. And we are blessed to have a number of such warriors in our presence again today. (06:46–06:54)
