"From all these different strands, we make something incipient here in America.

"Immigrants from around the world dream of coming to our shores," he verbalized. "Young people aspire to study at our universities, other nations look to us for support (and) leadership in times of disaster and conflict and skepticality.
"And when the world looks to America so often they look to all of you, the men and women of our Armed Forces," Obama verbalized.
