T VM ' -V ’ A 1776 1976 it ' s about stonewalls, covered bridges and town halls. it ' s in the creak an old bam makes in October when wind threatens the arthritic beam with another winter. in the silence of an ancient, deserted graveyard: in the morning freedom of a river: in finding some antique tools in the foundation of a once upon homestead: in the purple lilac evening scent of spring, it ' s about looking backwards for a minute as far down the road as you can see, noticing the tracks that got you where you are and turning, ready to meet tomorrow ' s sun. We here in America hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years; and shame and disgrace will be ours if in om eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of man. Theodore Roosevelt
