  • Since this country was founded, each generation has
    been summoned to give testimony to its national
    loyalty. . . Now the trumpet summons us again. . .
    And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your
    country can do for you - ask what you can do for
    your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask
    not what America will do for you, but what we can
    do for the freedom of man.
    --President John F. Kennedy
    Inaugural Address
