Men and women of remarkable character and fortitude. Fueledaordinary spirit the dreams they held. That spirit lived on to win liberty in the revolution, and bold and the underground railroads, strengthened the brave souls of normandy, it endured with those who gallantly fought the spread of communism, and on 9 11, that same spirit was found in the men and women storming the gates to save precious lives. Heroism thrives in the presence of tyranny, disaster. It is stronger than antivirus. Then any virus. What there are those who seek to erase history and deconstruct the american ideal, remake america into something it was never intended to be. The spirit of heroism stands in the breach, lives in the heart, it breathes in the soul and is woven into the courageous fabric of americans like you. It preserves liberty. It strengthens families. It empowers the extraordinary. The spirit of heroism inspires us to act when others are in need. To build the right things. Join us tonight. Dream heroi
It is a reminder that our democracy is young and fragile. A woman in a leadership role can still seem novel. Not so for President Trump. For decades, he has elevated women to senior positions in business and in government. And respect us. He insists we are on equal footing with the men. President trump helped me shatter a berry in the world of politics by empowering me to manage his campaign to a successful conclusion. With the help of millions of americans, our team defied the critics, the naysayers, the conventional wisdom and we won. For many of us, ms. Empowerment is not a slogan.

My first public outing in a wheelchair was to a professional baseball game. Before accident, i was 63. As i well through the state wheeled through the stadium, i felt invisible. At 20 i thought about giving up. I knew i could make a difference. My accident has given me new eyes to see and new ears to hear. God protected my mind and ability to speak.
