and they love you. a century ago, every man who heated sergeant daly's battle cry was pushed onto victory and glory by that same love of country. as war engulfed iwo jima, our young heroes set their eyes upon the same beautiful site. red, white, and blue perched atop an incredible rocky peak and when colonel john glenn looked down on the united states as he soared beyond limits of our atmosphere, he was filled with the same pride of one beating american heart. our pride makes us strong. our strength keeps us free. because of heroes like you, our freedom will never die.
