The future of the USA will be determined by the people and their
achievements. It will be determined by their actions in the public
spotlight, their everday choices, and even common values.
The USA continues to be a land of the free; a land
where immigrants can come to and find a home, where the people can have
choices and the freedoms spelled out in law.
America's 34th president, John F. Kennedy, spoke of the United
States' future in his Inaugural Address, January 21, 1961:
"We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first
revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend
and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of
Americans - born in this country, tempered by war, disciplined by a
hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage - and unwilling to
witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this
nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today,
at home and around the world.the energy, the faith, the devotion to
which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who
serve it - and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And
so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you - ask
what you can do for your country."
