That is our duty, to build that bright future, to teach our children that, in America, there is no chasm too deep, no barrier too great, no ceiling too high for all who work hard, who keep going, have faithinGod, inour country, and each other.
As we recall this anniversary of the Bataan Death March, we acknowledge that although the Japanese stole our honor, deprived us the simplest necessities of life, and forced us into slavery, still our values remained intact and we never lost faithinour country or ourGod.
