Before we are Republicans or Democrats or conservatives or liberals, we are all Americans. We are the heirs to a remarkable inheritance purchased by the courage and sacrifice of those who came before us. Our obligation is not merely to celebrate the last 250 years. It is to build the next 250. Let us recommit ourselves to treating one another with dignity and respect. Let us invest in our children and strengthen our communities and honor those who serve and never lose their faith in the promise of this great nation. (02:24–02:31)
