    National Guard members reportedly removed from inauguration duty over alleged militia ties

    Twelve National Guard members were pulled from inauguration duties for reasons that included alarming social-media posts, it was revealed a day before the most heavily guarded swearing-in the United States has ever seen.

    The move came after background checks revealed ties to far-right militia groups or extremist postings in the guardsmen’s online histories, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.

    Speaking on condition of anonymity, officials from the US intelligence community as well as the Army confirmed the precaution to the Associated Press.

    No specific plot against incoming Democratic President Joe Biden or others involved in the inauguration was found, the officials said.

    The dozen troops involved were relieved of their inauguration duty and sent home, according to the report, though it was not immediately clear if they would face further ramifications.

    They were not publicly identified by name, nor were the far-right groups with which some are allegedly affiliated.

    Of the 12 members, two were sent home for inappropriate comments or text messages related to the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard, told the wire service. One was reported through the chain of command, while the other was outed by an anonymous tipster.

    The other 10 were ousted over issues that included possible previous criminal activity, but not directly related to the inauguration, according to the general.

    “Much of the information is unrelated to the events taking place at the Capitol or to the concerns that many people have noted on extremism,” Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told the AP. “These are vetting efforts that identify any questionable behavior in the past or any potential link to questionable behavior, not just related to extremism.

    “We’re, out of an abundance of caution, taking action and immediately removing them from the line of duty at the Capitol and the events taking place,” he went on to say. “And then we will address them, whether it’s through law enforcement if necessary or through their own chain of command.”

    The concerns came to light two days after it was revealed that the FBI was conducting a last-minute review of the approximately 25,000 National Guard members deployed to Washington, DC, for the inauguration — roughly five times the current US military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

    The crush of troops has been streaming into DC since supporters of President Trump stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6 in a riot that left five people dead.

    In other security measures taken in the wake of the deadly invasion, a 7-foot-high, nonscalable fence has been erected around the Capitol, and the crowd capacity for Wednesday’s inauguration — already pared down due to the pandemic — has been scaled back further.

    Additionally, tourist attractions like the Washington Monument have been temporarily closed to visitors and thirteen DC subway stations have been shuttered.

    At least three people have been busted in recent days for entering or attempting to enter the sprawling frozen zone around the Capitol, among them two Virginia men carrying firearms.

    Despite the security concerns, Biden has said that he intends to take the oath of office outdoors, in keeping with tradition.

    Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th president, pleads for unity in inaugural address to a divided nation


    https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...3e2_story.html

    Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was sworn in Wednesday as the 46th president of the United States, pledging to confront an array of convulsing challenges and bring healing and unity to a deeply fractured nation.

    “This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge,” Biden said in an inaugural address that called on America to end its “uncivil war” and embrace a united front amid a series of daunting crises. “Unity is the path forward. And we must meet this moment as the United States of America. If we do that, I guarantee you we will not fail.”

    With his hand on his thick family Bible and with his wife, Jill Biden, by his side, Biden recited the oath administered by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. The moment marked the pinnacle of a career in public leadership that began a half-century ago.

    Moments before, Kamala D. Harris took her oath of office, making her the country’s first female vice president, and also the first Black American and first person with Asian heritage to hold the nation’s second-highest office. She had placed her hand on twin Bibles, one from a family friend and the second belonging to Thurgood Marshall, the first African American justice of the Supreme Court.

    Biden replaces outgoing president Donald Trump, whose *scandal-plagued single term was constantly dogged by accusations that he failed to uphold his own oath — including in recent weeks, as he refused to concede the election, tried to browbeat his vice president, Mike Pence, into violating the Constitution and inspired a deadly attack by supporters on the U.S. Capitol.

    Though Biden largely refrained from mentioning Trump by name Wednesday, he used his first day in office to tacitly repudiate the outgoing president — signing executive orders that reverse Trump administration measures affecting a range of issues, including the coronavirus and climate change. Biden signed a total of 17 executive orders and actions Wednesday, including a mask mandate for federal property, as well as moves to rejoin the Paris climate accords and World Health Organization, after Trump had withdrawn from those and other global forums during his presidency.

    Biden did not wait long to begin staffing up his administration, swearing in top White House aides Wednesday in a low-key virtual ceremony and looking toward the Senate’s nighttime confirmation of his first Cabinet member — Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.

    Biden, who at 78 is the oldest man to be sworn in as president, secured the office by pledging to be the polar opposite of Trump — to cool tempers rather than inflame them. He has promised to undo much of Trump’s legacy and restore what he refers to as “the soul of America” by proving that the past four years represented an aberration rather than an enduring rift in the national fabric.

    Four years after Trump delivered a dark and abrasive inaugural address pledging to end “American carnage,” Biden took office seeking to appeal to the country’s more hopeful sentiments and make a plea for unity.

    “Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire, destroying everything in its path,” he said in his speech, calling on the nation to “start afresh.” The 21-minute speech hewed closely to the themes that shaped Biden’s presidential run, with several references to unity, comity and a restoration of American leadership on the global stage.

    He cited his inauguration as a symbol of the country turning the page after its very democracy was tested as never before. Seated behind him as he spoke were three former presidents: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, both Democrats, and Republican George W. Bush. After taking their oaths, Biden and Harris appeared alongside those former presidents in a bipartisan tribute at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington, Va.

    Trump, who did not participate in the inaugural events, was not present.

    Two weeks earlier, the platform on which Biden was sworn in, at the West Front of the Capitol, was overrun by a mob that, incited by an incendiary Trump speech, stormed the House and Senate chambers trying to stop legislators from affirming Biden’s election victory. The decision by Biden and Harris to still take their oaths of office outside and at the Capitol was itself an act of defiance in the aftermath of the hours-long riot, during which Trump supporters screamed their intention to physically assault top elected officials.

    “We’ve learned again that democracy is precious, democracy is fragile — and at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed,” Biden said during his speech, which made several references to the unprecedented chaos of recent weeks.

    Biden promised to confront and defeat the scourge of white supremacy and domestic terrorism, challenges that have taken on fresh urgency in the wake of the attempted insurrection.

    “A cry for racial justice, some 400 years in the making, moves us,” he said. “The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer. The cry for survival comes from planet itself, a cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear. And now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.”

    In an emphatic denunciation of the “riotous mob” that tried to block him from becoming president, Biden declared that his inauguration Wednesday at the Capitol was proof that the effort to undermine democracy had failed.

    “It did not happen. It will never happen,” he said. “Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Not ever.”

    While Biden described America as a “place of hope and light, of limitless possibilities,” during an emotional goodbye ceremony in Delaware on Tuesday, the scene surrounding his inauguration in Washington on Wednesday offered a visceral reminder of the dark challenges he now faces.

    The nation’s capital remained in a state of partial lockdown, with more than 20,000 members of the National Guard patrolling the streets to prevent a repeat of the attempted Jan. 6 insurrection that left one police officer and four rioters dead.

    The National Mall that Biden and Harris stood before as they took their oaths was filled not with people but with 200,000 flags, a reflection of the deadly pandemic that is still spiraling nationwide a year after Trump first asserted it was “totally under control.”

    Later Wednesday, Biden and Harris walked down a short segment of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in a scaled-back version of the traditional parade route. While in-person crowds were largely prohibited — a reflection of the enduring impact of the crisis — a virtual program featuring musicians, actors and other celebrities, organizations and groups streamed online.

    More than 400,000 Americans have died of covid-19, and the viral pathogen continues to upend life for millions. Key to Biden’s success will be his ability to contain the pandemic and marshal the resources to hasten distribution of vaccines.

    Trump, who recently became the first president in American history to be impeached twice, became the first incumbent to refuse to attend his replacement’s oath-taking since 1869. And he has continued to claim falsely that he was the rightful victor in November’s election.

    Trump’s falsehoods have helped convince large swaths of the country that Biden is an illegitimate president, effectively stunting his political capital from the outset of his term.

    Spurning the traditional handoff, Trump left the White House early Wednesday, still having not spoken to Biden since their last pre-election debate. Shortly before boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Trump lauded what he said were his accomplishments and asserted that he had delivered the incoming administration — he did not mention Biden by name — “the foundation to do something really spectacular.”

    “We will be back in some form,” he said. “So have a good life. We will see you soon.”

    The recent turmoil added to the multiple crises Biden faces: In addition to the pandemic, the country’s economy is buckling, and the incoming president has pledged to address climate change and racial justice — two issues that dominated the past year, with huge climate-propelled fires in California and massive unrest in cities and towns over police violence.

    “Coming in he’s got his hands full, obviously,” said Christopher J. Dodd, a former senator from Connecticut and a close Biden confidant. “Any one of these issues alone would be a major problem. But combining all of them poses some real challenges.”

    Dodd stressed that Biden’s age and his deep experience with national politics and crises over the past half-century will guide him. “There is this expression, ‘It’s not his first rodeo,’ ” Dodd said. “There is a wonderful maturity and calm that Joe has demonstrated over these past few months. That’s the voice of experience, of confidence, of discipline — you don’t become an alarmist. The country wants to see in their leader confidence and assurance.”

    Biden, a six-term senator before his eight years as vice president, has been trying to court members of Congress as he prepares to pitch an ambitious legislative agenda that includes economic relief tied to the pandemic, an immigration overhaul, infrastructure spending and climate-change initiatives.

    Biden’s Democratic Party has taken control of the White House and Congress for the first time since 2011, yet it holds only a narrow advantage in the House and the barest majority in the Senate — a 50-50 split driven by two Democratic runoff wins in December that will leave Vice President Harris to break any ties.

    Biden, the second Catholic to be elected president, after John F. Kennedy, invited Republican and Democratic congressional leaders to attend Mass with him Wednesday morning ahead of the inauguration. The decision by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to attend — and to skip a farewell event for Trump that took place around the same time — offered one sign that Biden’s approach may at least take some of the vitriol out of the policymaking process.

    But McConnell, who spent years as minority leader frustrating then-President Obama’s legislative agenda when Biden was vice president, has not openly embraced the idea of helping the new president pass legislation.

    Several prominent GOP lawmakers, including McCarthy, have cast doubt on Biden’s legitimacy — voting earlier this month to challenge the results of the election and endorsing Trump’s specious fraud claims.

    Biden has said he would not question the motives of his political opponents, pledging to find common ground and pass bipartisan legislation despite Washington’s bitter polarization. The theme of his inaugural was “America United.”

    While Biden did not mention Trump by name during his speech, he called out those who peddle misinformation and push “lies told for power and for profit.”

    “We must reject the culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured,” he said to applause.

    Biden entered the White House later Wednesday and told reporters that there was “no time to waste” before signing a stack of executive actions. They included a repeal of Trump’s ban on U.S. entry for citizens of some majority-Muslim countries and a fortification of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program protecting millions of young immigrants from deportation. Trump had tried to end the Obama-era program known as DACA.

    After signing some of the orders, Biden told reporters that Trump had left him a “very generous letter” in the Oval Office, though he declined to detail its contents. The new president wore a mask, in contrast with the typical practice of his predecessor.

    Biden bid an emotional farewell to his home state of Delaware on Tuesday, with tears streaming down his face as he thanked a group that included longtime friends for sticking with him through his circuitous and at times tragedy-laden journey from a middle-class childhood in Scranton, Pa., and Wilmington to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

    “You’ve been there for us in good and bad and never walked away,” said Biden, whose failed bids for the White House in 1987 and 2008 make him one of the longest seekers of the presidency to actually obtain it. “And I am proud, proud, proud, proud to be a son of Delaware.”

    As he left Delaware, where his first Senate election and the tragic death of his wife and daughter in a car accident occurred in quick succession 48 years ago, he sounded a note of optimism.

    “Anything’s possible,” Biden said. “Anything’s possible in this country.”

    Harris, 56, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants and a graduate of Howard University, is set to play a key role in the administration, not least as the potential tiebreaker in the Senate. She was administered the oath by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic woman to serve on the nation’s highest court.

    Harris’s ascension is in keeping with Biden’s pledge to assemble an administration that “looks like America.” Cabinet nominees on hand for the inauguration, several of whom would be the first of their respective backgrounds to serve in their posts, reflected Biden’s promise to have the most diverse administration in American history. The broad tapestry of races, genders and cultures surrounding Biden stood in sharp contrast with the Trump administration’s open rejection of diversity and multiculturalism.

    But how much Biden is able to achieve with razor-thin Democratic majorities in Congress could depend on his ability to persuade Republicans to turn the page from the combative approach championed by Trump.

    The former president seems to have no intention of making his successor’s job easier.

    Since losing the election, Trump has raised more than $200 million for a new leadership PAC, publicly mused about running for president in 2024 and been banned from major social media sites for inspiring his followers to violently object to Biden’s presidency.

    Even Trump’s pending impeachment trial could upend Biden’s legislative agenda, eating up critical time in the Senate that could otherwise be used to confirm nominees and mark up legislation.

    While much of Trump’s legacy can be undone with a stroke of Biden’s pen, his sway over the Republican Party remains rock solid. A Washington Post-ABC News poll published this week found that 57 percent of Republicans wanted the party’s leaders to follow Trump’s lead rather than chart a different path. In that same poll, 70 percent of Republicans said they did not think Biden legitimately won the November election, a view not shared by Democrats and independents.

    In a 20-minute video message released Tuesday, Trump touted his accomplishments and claimed to have “built the greatest political movement in the history of our country.”

    Biden, who has said he decided to run for president in 2017 after hundreds of Trump supporters held a deadly white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, now confronts the ramifications of Trump’s ability to amass a tenuous coalition of traditional Republicans, conspiracy theorists, racists and militant extremists.

    While their alliance remains fractious, the loosely aligned groups have unified around the goal of opposing Biden’s agenda for the country.

    Biden also must lead a diverse and anxious Democratic Party with differing opinions about the wisdom of his centrist approach. The energized liberal wing of the party is calling on the new president to take full advantage of unified power in Washington rather than trying to work with Republicans who are intent on obstructing his agenda.

    A group of liberal organizations including the Justice Democrats published a memo Monday calling on Biden to pressure the party’s congressional leaders to get rid of the Senate filibuster and pass major legislation with a simple majority.

    “Biden was elected with a mandate to break gridlock and deliver results. He should use it,” the memo said. “Just do it — reform the filibuster and deliver results to the American people.”

    But the former vice president maintained his pitch to the opposing party even as it sought to delegitimize his presidency before it began.

    “We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal,” he said Wednesday, adding: “My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we’re going to need each other. We need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter.”

      The Senile Joe Inniggeration Address

      Chief Justice Roberts, Vice President Harris. Speaker Pelosi, Leaders Schumer, McConnell, Vice President Pence, my distinguished guests and my fellow Americans, this is America’s day.

      This is democracy’s day. A day of history and hope of renewal and resolve through a crucible for the ages. America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge. Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy. The people, the will of the people, has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.

      We’ve learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. At this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.

      From now, on this hallowed ground, where just a few days ago, violence sought to shake the Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power, as we have for more than two centuries.

      As we look ahead in our uniquely American way: restless, bold, optimistic, and set our sights on the nation we can be and we must be.

      I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence here today. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. And I know, I know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength, the strength of our nation. As does President Carter, who I spoke with last night, who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime of service.

      I’ve just taken the sacred oath each of those patriots have taken. The oath, first sworn by George Washington. But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us, on we the people who seek a more perfect union.

      This is a great nation. We are good people. And over the centuries, through storm and strife, in peace and in war, we've come so far. But we still have far to go. We'll press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and significant possibilities, much to repair, much to restore, much to heal, much to build, and much to gain.

      Few people in our nation’s history have been more challenged or found a time more challenging or difficult than the time we’re in now. A once-in-a-century virus that silently stalks the country. It’s taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of World War II. Millions of jobs have been lost. Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed. A cry for racial justice, some 400 years in the making, moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer.

      The cry for survival comes from the planet itself, a cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear. And now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.

      To overcome these challenges, to restore the soul and secure the future of America requires so much more than words. It requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy: Unity. Unity.

      In another January, on New Year’s Day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. When he put pen to paper, the president said, and I quote: “If my name ever goes down into history, it’ll be for this act. And my whole soul is in it.”

      My whole soul was in it today. On this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I ask every American to join me in this cause.

      Uniting to fight the foes we face: anger, resentment, hatred, extremism, lawlessness, violence, disease, joblessness and hopelessness. With unity, we can do great things, important things. We can right wrongs. We can put people to work in good jobs. We can teach our children in safe schools. We can overcome the deadly virus. We can reward, reward work, and rebuild the middle class and make health care secure for all. We can deliver racial justice and we can make America once again the leading force for good in the world.

      I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy these days. I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real, but I also know they are not new. Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we're all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, demonization have long torn us apart. The battle is perennial and victory is never assured.

      Through civil war, the Great Depression, world war, 9/11, through struggle, sacrifice and setbacks, our better angels have always prevailed. In each of these moments, enough of us have come together to carry all of us forward. And we can do that now. History, faith and reason show the way, the way of unity. We can see each other not as adversaries, but as neighbors. We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature. For without unity, there is no peace — only bitterness and fury. No progress — only exhausting outrage. No nation — only a state of chaos.

      This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge. And unity is the path forward. And we must meet this moment as the United States of America. If we do that, I guarantee you we will not fail. We have never, ever, ever, ever failed in America when we’ve acted together.

      And so today at this time in this place, let’s start afresh, all of us. Let’s begin to listen to one another again. Hear one another, see one another, show respect to one another. Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire, destroying everything in its path. Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war. And we must reject the culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.

      My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this. America has to be better than this. And I believe America is so much better than this. Just look around. Here we stand in the shadow of the Capitol dome, as was mentioned earlier, completed amid the Civil War, when the Union itself was literally hanging in the balance. Yet we endured, we prevailed.

      Here we stand looking out on the great Mall where Dr. King spoke of his dream. Here we stand, where 108 years ago, at another inaugural, thousands of protesters tried to block brave women marching for the right to vote. And today we marked the swearing-in of the first woman in American history elected to national office: Vice President Kamala Harris. Don’t tell me things can’t change.

      Here we stand across the Potomac from Arlington Cemetery, where heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion rest in eternal peace. And here we stand just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, to drive us from this sacred ground.

      It did not happen. It will never happen. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Not ever.

      To all those who supported our campaign, I’m humbled by the faith you’ve placed in us. To all those who did not support us, let me say this: Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart. If you still disagree, so be it. That’s democracy. That’s America. The right to dissent, peaceably, the guardrails of our republic, is perhaps this nation’s greatest strength.

      Yet hear me clearly: Disagreement must not lead to disunion. And I pledge this to you: I will be a president for all Americans.7 All Americans. And I promise you I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.

      Many centuries ago, St. Augustine, a saint in my church, wrote to the people was a multitude defined by the common objects of their love. Defined by the common objects of their love. What are the common objects we as Americans love, that define us as Americans? I think we know. Opportunity, security, liberty, dignity, respect, honor and, yes, the truth.

      Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson. There is truth and there are lies, lies told for power and for profit. And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders, leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation, to defend the truth and defeat the lies.

      Look — I understand that many of my fellow Americans view the future with fear and trepidation. I understand they worry about their jobs. I understand, like my dad, they lay in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, wondering: Can I keep my health care? Can I pay my mortgage? Thinking about their families, about what comes next. I promise you, I get it.

      But the answer is not to turn inward, to retreat into competing factions, distrusting those who don’t look like you or worship the way you do, or don’t get their news from the same sources you do. We must end this uncivil war 9that pits red against blue, rural vs. urban, conservative vs. liberal. We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts. If we show a little tolerance and humility, and if we’re willing to stand in the other person’s shoes, as my mom would say, just for a moment, stand in their shoes. Because here’s the thing about life: There’s no accounting for what fate will deal you. Some days when you need a hand. There are other days when we’re called to lend a hand. That’s how it has to be. That’s what we do for one another. And if we are this way, our country will be stronger, more prosperous, more ready for the future. And we can still disagree.

      My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we’re going to need each other. We need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter. We’re entering what may be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus. We must set aside politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation. One nation10.

      And I promise you this, as the Bible says: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” We will get through this together. Together.

      Look, folks. All my colleagues I served with in the House and the Senate up there, we all understand the world is watching, watching all of us today. So here’s my message to those beyond our borders: 11America has been tested and we’ve come out stronger for it. We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again. Not to meet yesterday’s challenges, but today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. And we’ll lead, not merely by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.

      We’ll be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress and security. Look — you all know we’ve been through so much in this nation. And my first act as president, I’d like to ask you to join me in a moment of silent prayer to remember all those who we lost this past year to the pandemic. Those 400,000 fellow Americans. Moms, dads, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends, neighbors and co-workers. We will honor them by becoming the people and the nation we know we can and should be. So I ask you, let’s say a silent prayer for those who’ve lost their lives, those left behind, and for our country.

      Amen.

      Folks, this is a time of testing. We face an attack on our democracy and on truth, a raging virus, growing inequity, the sting of systemic racism, a climate in crisis, America’s role in the world. Any one of these will be enough to challenge us in profound ways. But the fact is, we face them all at once, presenting this nation with one of the gravest responsibilities we’ve had. Now we’re going to be tested. Are we going to step up? All of us? It’s time for boldness, for there is so much to do. And this is certain, I promise you: We will be judged, you and I, by how we resolve these cascading crises of our era.

      Will we rise to the occasion is the question. Will we master this rare and difficult hour? Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world to our children? I believe we must. I’m sure you do as well. I believe we will. And when we do, we’ll write the next great chapter in the history of the United States of America. The American story. A story that might sound something like a song that means a lot to me. It’s called “American Anthem.” There’s one verse that stands out, at least for me, and it goes like this:

      The work and prayers of a century have brought us to this day.

      What shall be our legacy? What will our children say?

      Let me know in my heart when my days are through.

      America, America, I gave my best to you.

      Let's add. Let us add our own work and prayers to the unfolding story of our great nation. If we do this, then when our days are through, our children and our children's children will say of us: They gave their best, they did their duty, they healed a broken land.

      My fellow Americans, I close the day where I began, with a sacred oath before God and all of you. I give you my word, I will always level with you. I will defend the Constitution. I’ll defend our democracy. I’ll defend America and I will give all, all of you. Keep everything I do in your service, thinking not of power, but of possibilities, not of personal interest, but the public good. And together we shall write an American story of hope, not fear. Of unity, not division. Of light, not darkness. A story of decency and dignity, love and healing, greatness and goodness. May this be the story that guides us. The story that inspires us and the story that tells ages yet to come that we answered the call of history. We met the moment. Democracy and hope, truth and justice did not die on our watch, but thrived. That America secured liberty at home and stood once again as a beacon to the world. That is what we owe our forebears, one another and generations to follow.

      So, with purpose and resolve, we turn to those tasks of our time. Sustained by faith, driven by conviction, devoted to one another and the country we love with all our hearts. May God bless America and may God protect our troops. Thank you, America.
