00:00Today we come to the heartland of America to pay tribute to a man who embodied the heart and soul
00:07and fight and spirit of our country as much as anyone who ever lived.
00:12TR had transformed his country by the reach of his vision and by the force of his will into one
00:20of the greatest empires ready to take its rightful place as the strongest and most respected nation anywhere in the
00:29world.
00:30The life of Theodore Roosevelt reminds us that Americans never give up. We don't give up. He never stopped, never
00:41quit, never surrendered.
00:44Theodore Roosevelt reminds us all that to be a great nation and to be a free nation, we must have
00:50courage. Without courage, you have nothing.
00:53He refused to accept failure, mediocrity, corruption, decay or decline and neither should we.
01:02As America turns 250 years old, we look at this remarkable man and we recall that with effort, determination and
01:12drive, there is nothing that Americans of competence cannot do.
