No one can tell you how to do this. You must teach yourself, with help from your team. It will take discipline and courage. Your goal is to join us on a public commons that is free of fear. So many Americans have sacrificed so much to create it. It is a blessing of liberty. Accept this gift. You are welcome here.

I am an American, a father, a son, an uncle, and many more things to my family, friends and neighbors. And I tell you, my son, out of a fierce love of freedom, and a fierce hatred of self-deceit, that you haven't come home yet. You are still at war, a war you cannot win until you dislodge the enemy within.
