O, say, can you see, by the dawns early light, what so proudly we haild at the twilights last gleaming . Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro the perilous fight, oer the ramparts we watchd, were so gallantly streaming .

As the floodwaters rose, so they also fell. We are living in rebirth and rejuvenation. Presenting tonights sponsor the rockefeller center. A round of applause. [applause] this extremely generous organization has provided support to Committee Groups throughout the storm. They stop by for the decade after. The Rockefeller
