About This Article

It's pretty clear that our most inspirational leaders weren't just amazing politicians who knew how to help those in need domestically and approach foreign enemies; they also delivered powerful and memorable speeches that we still carry with us today. These speeches gave the country hope in times of despair, peace in times of war and courage in times of peril. A strong, united country is only as strong as its leader — no matter where on the political spectrum that leader stands. 

For this reason, it's important to remember how the country's leaders have kept America together in times of chaos and terror.

We want a president whose words will help maintain peace and happiness within our borders and around the world.

If you don't recognize some, you will be able to see how the messages evolved over the years, showing us exactly what it means to be an American.
