My fellow citizens,
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed,
mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service
to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this
transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken
during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often
the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms.

At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision
of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the
ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents.
……
Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let
this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed
on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom
and delivered it safely to future generations.
