 Again you're always welcome. It's a pleasure. Thank you mayor coach Mr. President The Daily News crime fighter program was launched over Awards by Alex Michelini is is almost like fiction of since often at great risk to their lives Many of them face down and distinct honor to introduce to you the president of the United States President is now a crime fighter. Thank you very much Thank you and mayor coach and I thank him. He is the donor of that jacket, which I'm very proud to have Commissioner McGuire Senator DeMotto congressman Molinari and James Weehart Together The residents of this great city you're reminding all Americans of what is right and good about our people in our country my head is off to New York and its police force for They're dedicated and often thankless battle against crime and I congratulate the New York Daily News for Carrying enough about its community that it sponsors the New York crime fighters award program. I Understand that more than $60,000 in those prize monies that we heart mentioned had been given out so far and that's Quite an investment in our collective peace of mind By working together the city and the daily news Are another example of how our public and private institutions can be made even more effective in improving the quality of our lives But most of all I want to thank these citizens here for their everyday Americans thank them for their courage in Unexpected circumstances and for their becoming heroes they were you know someone once said that a hero isn't braver than anyone else He's just brave five minutes longer. I Don't know whether that's the answer or not, but God bless them all Those who say we're in a time when there are no heroes. They just don't know where to look They certainly haven't been flipping through the pages of the New York Daily News lately. I wish all our people could read as I have the accounts of your individual acts of heroism In each case you seem to think you acted as anyone else would have in the same situation and You spoke from your hearts about how we all depend on one another Alventories said I just hope people will realize that we must all work together Citizens and police if somebody needs help we should try to help out you've got to try Well when you read how the Tories brothers chased down a purse snatcher wielding a knife How mrs. Canalie a grandmother collared a pickpocket by his neck scarf and gave him the back of her hand until the police arrived I Like the picture that one more than anything And how Rabbi Rosenfeld immobilized a mugger armed with a machete You realize there's nothing very average about the average American Sometimes I've accused some of our political opponents of referring so much about the common man And I prefer to think that most Americans are pretty uncommon Here in New York's teaming streets and burrows and in towns and cities across America our people do care about each other and They're ready to help From cabbies to construction workers to youths to grandmothers and an airman from Brooklyn The people of New York are leading the way in what has become a national citizens campaign to restore security to our streets and neighborhoods Working with their local police. They're getting results Seeing men and women like yourselves here today In what some say is the busiest precinct in the county or in the country I should say I believe we can and we will rid ourselves of the fear that plagued us I Like to think also that we're not only going to rid ourselves of the prayer of the fear We're going to transfer that fear to where those skulking people who try to take advantage of their fellow citizens Aren't going to just look around for the uniform. They're just going to look around and say I can't trust these people anymore Can't trust them to go their own way and not Take us on together, we're working toward the day when Law-abiding men and women can live in confidence and as I say only the criminals will be afraid On behalf of all Americans. I Thank the New York crime fighters. I Thank the daily news and New York City I'll tell your story wherever I go because I know your courage will inspire others In the meantime your fellow citizens are grateful that you've made the world a little safer a little more free and Filled with a great deal more hope I want to congratulate you on your rewards and again.
