“Strength of a Nation is not just the courage to face crisis or tragedy as it unfolds. It is also carrying on our lives in the face of worry. It is caring for people who have suffered. It is taking on difficult tasks, and vowing to see them through to the end. Strength is looking for things that unite us, rather than divide us. It is the belief that every person can make a difference. It is listening as well as speaking. It is the reward of responsibility and the satisfaction of service. It is being an active and informed citizen.… Many things combine to give us the Strength of a Nation, and the most important, come from within us.”
