Two hundred and forty-three years ago, our founding fathers lit a torch.

They were fueled by an idea stronger than any army, bigger than any ocean, and more powerful than any dictator.

In this country, we're all bound together in this great experiment of equality and opportunity and decency. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is in on the deal. We haven't always lived up to this promise, but we've never given up on it. That's why we've been the beacon of hope for the rest of the world.

That idea has given hope to the most desperate people on Earth. It has instilled in every single person in this country the belief that no matter where they start in life, there's nothing they can't achieve if they work at it.

That idea is America.

And more than two centuries later, we're still carrying the torch passed down by our founders.

We carry that torch around the world, serving in uniform and doing the vital work of diplomacy. We carry it in the laws that we pass, and with the leaders we elect. We carry it in our daily acts of quiet humanity--in the moments when we choose to hear each other. When we choose to help each other. When we choose to look past our divisions, fix our eyes on the horizon, and commit to finding a better way, and doing it together.

That's the America I believe in -- and that's the America I'll never stop fighting for.

Happy Fourth of July. God Bless America, and may God protect our troops.
