I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come…
I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy…
I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence…
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
