As we work to preserve our individual rights in medicine, I'd like to take a little time to honor those men in 1776 who fought for their rights and founded this great country of ours. It is because of them that we enjoy the unparalleled benefits of freedom and prosperity. America leads the way in medical innovation because of their ideas and their courage.
So to those brave men who put it all on the line against the most powerful empire in the world, and swore to each other to pledge "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor", I thank you!
