rights, and among those are love and charity and duty and ’s what makes America great.(Cheers, applause.)I am hopeful tonight because I have seen this spirit at work in ’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a ’ve seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.(Cheers, applause.)I’ve seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a munity rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible
