again. it's not too late. we can do it because we've done it before. think about it. veterans like clair conn and bob turner remind me that what makes america great, what makes us exceptional, what makes us the greatest country in all of the world, has been all throughout our history. in time of crisis be it economic or fiscal be it military or spiritual, there have been men and women of courage who have been willing to stand up and think more about future generations than they thought about their own political futures. ladies and gentlemen this is one of those times in american history.
