And good morning, everyone. Welcome to todays the spirit of liberty. In 1944, a federal judge and judicial philosopher, judge learned hand, delivered a speech in central park to over a Million People on i am an american day.

He said, weve gathered here to affirm a faith, a faith in a common purpose. A common conviction. A common devotion. Some of us have chosen america as the land of our adoption. The rest of us have come from those who did the same. What was the object that nerved us . Or those who went before us, to this choice . We sought liberty, freedom from oppression, freedom from want, freedom to be ourselves. Behind me, just across columbus circle, is central park. 73 years
