A democracy in a republic is a precious gift we give ourselves. It is indeed the most honorable and personable form of government man has yet made. A gilded gift from the essence of our being. A gift wrapped in national treasure and consecrated by the blood of America’s citizens who have died in the military uniform of the United States to preserve that gift. When the world turns cold and imperils our spirit, the fierce fires of democracy forge our resolve and champion our standing in the annals of mankind.

Leaders and the light of our path
