“To be an American, whether by birth or choice, is a high privilege. As citizens of this good nation, we can all be proud of our heritage and confident in our future. The ideals of July 4th, 1776, still speak to all humanity…We still pledge our lives and honor to freedom's defense. And we will always believe that freedom is the hope and the future of every land.”
– President George W. Bush, July 4, 2003
