I To Our Next 200! I
Our Bicentennial. It means more
to Americans than just a celebration.
It serves as a stepping stone to the fu
ture. It's a door leading to bigger and
better achievements.
It's an opportunity for all of us
to look back at our great historical
struggle for Democracy. To look at the
present and see how much has been
accomplished in only 200 years.
And, perhaps most important, it
enables us to see that the future of
America now lies in OUR hands. And
; all of us, as Americans, have the knowl
i edge and foresight to make the next
200 years even better than the first.
Happy birthday America!
