“But what brings us here tonight, is what we all have in common . . . successful business men, dedicated public servants and men of God….is the desire to in whatever way possible, make the world a better place. To give back to our fellow man and to our God the recognition of how appreciative we are for our successes.

How grateful we are to be part of the greatest nation on the planet. And a humble acknowledgement that we did not do this on our own. We do not find ourselves here because of things we have done on our own, we are here because of the greatest thing we  have in common. We share the blood of an ancestry who left one way of life to become a part of the great experiment we call America.
