“I was raised by folk like those guys sitting at that picnic table. My grandma kept the pictures of her two sons who fought in the army air corps proudly displayed in the living room. My wife has the discharge papers of her grandfather from the First World War. This I know: They loved America even when it didn’t love us. They believed in America because — even when America falls short — the values and ideals of America, the dream of America, stands tall and true and will one day see us through.” — Bishop Michael Curry
