2018 LET General Education
serve their country
Reviewer by TeacherPH:
1. Below is an excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s
“Inaugural Address.”
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than
mine, will rest the final success or failure of
our course. Since this country as founded,
each generation of Americans has been
summoned to give testimony to its national
loyalty. The graves of young Americans into
answered the call to service surround the
globe. Now the trumpet summons us again-
not as a call to bear arms, though, arms we
need, not as a call to battle, though embattled
we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long
twilight struggle, year in and year out, rejoicing
in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle
against the common enemies of man: tyranny,
poverty, disease, and war itself. Can we forge
against these enemies a grand and global
alliance, North and South, East and West, that
can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind?
Will you join me in this historic effort? In the
long history of the world, only a few
generations have been granted the role of
defending freedom in its hour of maximum
danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility;
I welcome it I do not believe that any of us
would exchange places with any other people
or any other generation. The energy, the faith,
the devotion which we bring to this endeavor
will light our country and all who serve it, and
the glow from that fire can truly light the
world. 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 together we can do for the
freedom of man.

And across the field.
And I meant to kill him on sight.
But that day, walking near Fourth Bridge,
Without a stick or a stone at hand,
All of a sudden I saw him standing,

As he aimed and fired at my heart.
