Crow’s personal conclusion: “There’s been a lot of conversation the last few years about what makes America great. And I have some ideas about that. I think that what makes America great is that generation after generation, there have been Americans willing to stand up and make sacrifice for their country. I have seen people give everything for this country, so we can sit here today.
This isn’t politically expedient. It’s hard. It’s uncomfortable. But that’s the definition of public service. We are here to give of ourselves to this country. Those who have given so much for this country deserve no less from us now, than to honor their sacrifices.
I have tried to do that these last three days. My time is done, and it is now your time.”
