The America I know is trusted, sometimes guardedly, but among those who aspire to improve the lives of their citizens, among those who feel vulnerable, and among those who want an equal voice in a partnership, we remain the partner of choice. The America I know leads, sometimes cautiously, but always ethically.

America is the world's engine but also its conscience. We are the petri dish of diversity and inclusiveness.

Martin Dempsey Quotes
