I believe in firefighters that climb 50 flights of
stairs to help people they never met.
I believe in people who give their lives crashing an
airplane to save the lives of people they never met.
I believe in people who give blood, money, and
supplies to aide people they've never met.

I believe in America.

I believe in a country that stands strong and proud,
even in the face of grief and tragedy.
I believe in a country that not only allows but
encourages and values diversity.
I believe in a country that does not think that human
suffering is "someone else's problem".

I believe in America.

I believe in a country that values freedom so highly
that rather than inhibit an individuals rights, tragic
events can sometimes occur.
I believe in a country that does not allow innocent
people to suffer at the hands of a madman.
I believe in a country that is willing to risk it's
own lives and safety to protect and aide innocent
people.

I believe in America.

I believe in a country that does not lash out quickly
or rashly in revenge and retaliation.
I believe in a country that will defend itself with
appropriate means.
I believe in a country whose people will rise to any
challenge, and will stand up and fight boldly and
proudly against it's aggressors.

I believe in America.
