I was born on July 4, 1776 and the Declaration of Independence is my
birth certificate.
The blood of the world runs in my veins because I offered freedom to the oppressed. I am many things and many people.
I am the United States of America!
I am 315 million living souls and the memory of millions who have lived and died for me.

woman’s right to vote.
I am Independence Hall, the Monitor and the Merrimac and Gettysburg, PA.
I am Lee, Grant and Stonewall Jackson.
I remember the Alamo, the Maine, Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001.
When freedom called, I have answered and stayed until it was over.

who beckons, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to
breathe free!”
I am the coal fields of the Virginias and Pennsylvania, the purple mountains of the Rockies and the fertile lands of the West. I am the Golden Gate, the Grand Canyon and the sky scrapers of New York City.
Ohhhh I am big, I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Alaska to Hawaii; four million square miles throbbing with industry, farms and city life.
I am George
Washington Carver, Frederick
Douglas, Jonas Salk, Albert Einstein and Dr. Martin Luther King. I am more than 350,000 schools and colleges and 600,000 churches where my people worship God as they
think best.
I am the roar of a crowd in a stadium and the voice of a choir in a cathedral.
I am Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. I am Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie, Ford, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
Yes, I am the nation and these are the things that I am.
I was conceived in freedom, and God willing, in freedom I will spend the rest of my days.
May I possess always the integrity, the courage and the strength
to keep myself unshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom
and a beacon of hope for the world.
