A free society has arisen
This is not a victory party
But a celebration of freedom

Symbolizing an end
As well as a beginning
To a new generation of
Americans

Our freedom is from the hand of God
Now we can call ourselves
The Unites States.

--From John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address (January 20, 1961)
