United in this determination and with unshakable faith in the cause for which we fight, we will, with God's help, go forward to our greatest victory.

It is probably a pity that every citizen of each state cannot visit all the others, to see the differences, to learn what we have in common, and come back with a richer, fuller understanding of America - in all its beauty, in all its dignity, in all its strength, in support of moral principles.
