I'm Proud To
Be
An
American
The fo llo w in g rem arks were
prepared fo r delivery at the Memorial
Day ceremony in lone, May 27, 1991.
I’m proud to be an American. Thank
you, for this occasion on this Memorial
Day where I might share with you my
pride in America.
We are here, of course, to celebrate
the memory of those who have gone
before us. W e’re celebrating the
memory of Francie’s grandmother,
Helen Harris who passed away May
17, 1991 aged 85 years. And we’re
here to celebrate the memory of Laurel’s cousin. Amber Rollins who passed
away May 13, 1991, aged 15 years. We are here to celebrate the memory
of every grandmother and cousin and friend and relative who has preced
ed us in death.
Above all else, we are here to celebrate the memory of Tench Alldrich
and Paul Rietmann and all your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters,
fellow Americans who gave their lives in the line of duty to defend the
American way of life.
In no small way we are here to honor all those among us who have serv
ed with honor the greatest nation on the face of the earth, living and dead.
I salute you all.
I salute you because I am proud to be your countryman, I am proud
to claim you as my countrymen.
I salute you because I am free. Free to do the work that I am suited
for and that you find useful. No where else in the world could I have,
in a single lifetime, labored as a farmer, a railroad fireman, a lawyer, a
winemaker, a wood craftsman and a newspaper publisher. And there is
so much more to do. Americans are alone in the world in their freedom
to work. To work hard and long and to reap the benefits of their labor.
I salute you because I am free to build and maintain a family. Free to
love and to be loved by a good woman. Free to raise children who I can
nourish and train and educate and to be proud. Only in America does the
family stand in greater importance than the state, with the freedom to give
and take, to compromise, to forgive and be forgiven so that the family
remains as a unit.
I salute you because my family is free to pray wherever and whenever
we choose or not to. We are free to rejoice in the word and work of God
in any of his huge number of houses to worship. We are free to apply
the teaching of Jesus Christ to our daily lives and to aspire to a better life
for ourselves and our neighbors and when life is over to believe in an after
life.
I salute you because my son, Harold, is free to study, to learn, and ex
pand his knowledge without limit. I envy him his youth and his keen mind.
I envy his freedom to know what ever piques his curiosity. America presents
the greatest opportunity it ever has for the diligent, learned, ambitious
young people to achieve the satisfying life. No where in the world does
a young man or woman have the freedom choice to do as their own in
terest may lead.
I salute you because my daughter. Laurel, is free to pursue her dreams
unhampered by pre-conceived notions about what is ‘proper’ work for a
young lady. I an proud that America has wrestled to the ground the idea
that certain classes of people are barred from part of America's freedom
because of their color or sex or nationality of their ancestors. America
is a land of individuals and while we are all different from all others, we
are all the same in the eyes of the law.
Finally, I salute you for this occasion. One hundred twenty five years
ago, Henry C. Welles of Waterloo, New York, suggested the dead of the
Civil War should be remembered by decorating their graves with flowers.
The very same year, the ladies of the Friendship Cemetery, in Columbus.
Mississippi, honored the casualties of the Battle of Shiloh with flowers.
Miss Emma Hunter of Boalsburg Pennsylvania, decorated the graves of
all the fallen in the Battle of Gettysburg.
From its very inception. Memorial Day was a time for honoring those
who have fallen in battle, no matter what side they fought on. North and
South were joined again, in the observance of Memorial Day. I am proud
to exercise the right they fought and died for. the right to assemble and
memorialize across the artificial lines we draw. On this day, we ignore
those old North-South divisions and honor our deceased family and friends
as Americans.
I am proud to be an American. Thank you very much.

Alone on a November
woodcutting trip, Bob was
struck by a log when it
started a wild roll down a
steep, rocky slope. He was
lucky he landed behind the
log as they both rolled to
the bottom of the hill.
