This was fantastic! Thanks to everyone and a special thank you to Steve Brodner, for putting the program together. This is the scariest day in American history and all of you made it easier for me to get through.
Yes, you may. When I was a kid, I was very sick and in bed for seven months. I watched a lot of TV. One day, I watched a war movie, which was rare for me because I don't like war movies. There a moment the remaining soldiers of the unit were trying to decide what to do. The original order was to take a piece of ground and hold it. They were all young and very much afraid no one get out alive. Then one of the boys said, "Cowards we are but we must stand, so come coward take a coward's hand." For years, I have tried to find out who wrote those words and even the name of the old movie and never did. I used that quote from the movie for a term paper in my psychology class as a definition of courage.
I remember that speech well. I was 18. Look how Kennedy didn’t talk down to his audience (who probably didn’t have the gold standard education he had enjoyed). He spoke from the heart, and he drew from the classics. His audience got it. Our national discourse has fallen off a cliff.
