speech.wav (1026K)

President Whitmore: In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others
from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history
of mankind.

Mankind....that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed
with our petty differences anymore.

We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps, it's fate, today is the fourth of
July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom.

Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution. But from anniliation. We're fighting for our
right to live...to exist. Should we win the day, the fourth of July will no longer be
known as an American holiday. But as the day when the world declared in one voice "We
will not go quietly into the night...we will not vanish without a fight! We're going to
live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our independence day!"
(Applause)
