THE PRESIDENT: Thanks, I'm honored to be here. I'm here to
explain to the nation the importance of citizens becoming involved with
preparedness in their communities. And I want to thank the Chief and
the Mayor, and thank you, Captain, for providing an outlet for good
citizens who love their country, and who generally have asked the
question, what can I do to make my community a better place?
The reason we've come to Knoxville is because this is a model
program. And I want other people to see what is possible. I also want
them to see the good citizens in action, like yourselves. I want to
thank you. I'm a grateful President, for a grateful nation, for
helping your community.
