"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. ... My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
-President John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961
