Good morning. Thank you for being with us today.
It's not hard to be inspired in this building, and with this view. I'm looking out and seeing the Lincoln Memorial.
President Lincoln was a great leader and visionary. Throughout the darkest days of the Civil War, Lincoln held close a vision for the future of America. He saw a place of hope. A place where common people like him could do uncommon things.
Despite the division of our current politics, I strongly believe that America still provides that hope.
Yet, we need to recognize that not all of our citizens feel this way.
