Today we observed not victory but a dream, a celebration of freedom symbolizing an end as well as a beginning of signifying renewal as well as change.
The world is very different now for man holds in his mortal hands the power and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for what our forebears fought are still in our hearts of service men and women around the globe. The belief that their job has not gone unnoticed.
We today are the bearers of what is a bold New World Without Fear and let the word go forth from this time and place, to any friend and foe alike that the torch has been passed to a new generation of people, born in this century, that this has been founded by us and willing to witness these nations have always been committed.
We are committed today at home and around the world that every nation know, whether it wishes as well or ill that we shall pay any price bear any burden meet any hardship support any friends, suppose any foe in order to ensure the survival and the success of liberty and freedom this is much we pledge to this endeavor and more.
To those who have cultural and spiritual origins, We Share and we pledge loyalty of faithful friends, United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.
There is little we can strive harder stronger than ever and the willingness to strive forward anything can be achieved
To the world assembly of Sovereign States, we as United Nations are now the best hope in an age with the instruments that beat off War have outpaced the instruments of Peace. Can we now pledge our prevention from it and become merely a distant memory to strengthen its shield.
But neither powerful group of nations take comfort from our present course by that uncertain balance of terror that stays in the hands of Mankind's final war.
So lets begin anew, remembering both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, sincerity is always a subject to proof, never negotiate out of fear but let us never fear to negotiate that all sides create a new endeavor. Not a new balance of power but a new world of Peace and acceptance.
To protect the weak, ensure that peace will be preserved, but let us begin to answer the call to the service around the globe. We can forge against these enemies around the global alliance North, South, East, and West that we can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind. Will you join in this historic effort?
I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other or any other generation.
The energy, the faith, the devotion which brings this inevitable light to each of us. Let's light our countries and all who serve it and grow from that so that we can truly light the world. My fellow citizens of the World ask not what you can do for your country but we can do together?
What can we do for the freedom of mankind?
Finally citizens of the world ask us of this same high standards of strength sacrifice which we ask of you with good conscience. It's our only Sure reward with history the final judge of our deeds. That is to go forward to lead the world we love as in his blessing and his help but knowing that here on earth in all faiths work must truly be our own in pride by standing together United.
