"Our servicemen and women who pledge their allegiance, they have done so to one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all, the United States of America. United in support of them, that when they are in harm's way, defending us, we shall be there, united in our determination that when they return, the opportunity for a bright future awaits them, awaits them, not out of charity, but out of respect."
"The festivities continued with the tap of a drum, kicking off the annual march. Onlookers waved the American flag from 27th Street and 5th Avenue to 52nd Street as they chanted, USA, USA, USA. Over 20,000 military service members and women marched, many of them beaming with pride as they listened to the cheers, some joining in and letting out their own shouts of joy."
