National Guard Troops on the streets of Chicago in 1966. This deployment was in response to a series of riots that broke out after a man was arrested on July 12th, 1966 for re-opening a fire hydrant that police had closed after residents opened it during a heat wave. There was sporadic violence and looting until the National Guard was called in on the 15th. They stayed on patrol until the 20th.

“Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests,

“We stand at the precipice of a new dawn, where the horizon stretches out with opportunities galore. Today, as we gather in the spirit of unity, let’s take a moment to appreciate the journey we’ve embarked up – a journey not just of miles, but of milestones.

“We are, indeed, at a crossroads, where every challenge is but a stepping stone to success. The world is our oyster, and we are here to seize the day, to make hay while the sun shines. Let’s think outside the box, push the envelope, and go the extra mile. Remember, there’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’, but together we can achieve the impossible.

“In the tapestry of life, each thread counts, each color adds to the beauty of the whole. We must keep our eyes on the prize, yet never lose sight of the bigger picture. The road less traveled might be daunting, but it’s where we find true innovation. Let’s not just think about the now, but also about leaving a legacy for tomorrow.

“At the end of the day, it’s not about how hard you fall, but how high you bounce back. We must keep our feet on the ground and our heads in the clouds, for in the balance lies our path to greatness. So here’s to us, to dreaming big, to turning the page, and to writing the next chapter in the book of our collective future.

“Thank you, and let’s move forward, not just with haste, but with heart. Remember, together we are more than the sum of our parts. Let’s make it happen!”
