Pres. John F. Kennedy

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 century, 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.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden,

meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to ensure the survival and success of liberty.

End of:

President John F. Kennedy Speech
