You know, a better man for a better America. That's sort of our slogan.

I have been uplifted by the extraordinary power of the American heart - by those armies of compassion, who are willing to cross town or cross the globe to minister to those they've never met and will never see again.

You have won the Cold War. ... [Your] underappreciated valor [helped] topple the Berlin Wall, and bring down dictators the world over. ... For the past four decades the world behind the Iron Curtain ... looked to Americans for hope, and America looked to you to get the job done. Today, the free world says thank you.

The horizon is out there somewhere and you keep chasing it, looking for it and working for it.

I think it's OK to talk about your military service, but there's a fine line between, you know, too much and just about right.

Think I'll win. Could be big.

Elizabeth's back at the Red Cross, and I'm walking the dog.
