Begins the morning. Over this neighbourhood
Rises the keening, petulant voice, begin

The roots of things battalions green and curled

Till the revolted throats shall strangle on.

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course.
Since this country as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its
national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a call to
battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and
year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common enemies of man:
tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that
can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom
in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I do not believe that
any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith,
the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow
from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your
country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the
