 occasion in the history of the John F. Kennedy, the president, 26 of our nation's finalists. These are true native professionals who are realisting tonight for a total of 100 years of service. On this very special day when we observe Independence Day, the 75th anniversary of naval aviation, and Miss Liberty's 100th anniversary. Reenlistment Chief John Rayden from Jacksonville, Florida will accept his appointment by the president of the United States as a chief warrant officer in the United States Navy. I will now read the reenlistment vote. Do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic through faith and to the same of the United States of the officers appointed over me, form code of military appointment and do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic through faith and allegiance to the same. But I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose or evasion. There is the duties of the office of which I am about to enter. So help me God. Keep foreign officer Rayden, welcome to the USS Johnette Kennedy Warden. When the states and Mrs. Rayden were going to see with kids or animals, they would see in the scene every time. And even the rest assured, I would need to thank them. Shortly after the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, celebrations took place throughout the land. And many of the former colonists, they were just starting to call themselves Americans, set off cannons and marched in fight and drum parades. But a contrast would be so received that it would take a sign of art. It was noted at the time that they pledged their lives, their forces, and their sacred honor. That was more than ever. Each of those men knew that they were high trees. They were brave. They stayed brave through all the bloodshed in the coming years. Their courage, freeing the nation, we hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are creative people. They are endowed by their creative with certain unalienable rights. And among these are what predeterminate in this liberty and predeterminate in their thoughts. We reflect on all the evictions that came here in search of a dream of freedom, inaugurated in Independence Hall. We have courage in coming great this is the second of the foreign land. With that passing on the it is a hope that someday every people in every nation of the world would know the blessings of liberty. And it's the hope of millions all around the world. In the last few years, I've spoken at West Institute of the Maroon, the Imperial Palace in Japan, and the ancient city of Beijing. I've seen the beaches of Normandy and Cuba. The father who had once dreamed of seeing again the place where he and so many brave others had landed. He said, I've always been proud. And I've seen the successes to these brave men. The young Americans have uniformed all over the world. The young Americans that you hear tonight, the man in the mighty USS, can bravely look back at you. I mean, the bravely of brotherhood. All through our history, our presidents and leaders once learned this lesson. They worked so closely together in Philadelphia for independence. But once that was gained, they did. For years, they were estranged from last. The men of both that retired, Jefferson 68, Montel, and Adams of 76, the Quincy, and the game shooter, and that is the CD game, so you please. The carries of correspondence with his co-signer of the Declaration of Independence, to the times when he set with difficulties and dangers, we were fellow laborers in the same college, struggling for what is most valuable to man, his right to self-government. Laboring always at the same over with this rest in brotherhood, the intolerance for each other. It seems I knew America's strength as a nation. And when both died the same day within hours of each other, it's that the things that unite us, America's past, which was so proud.
