Passage 1: Kathy has been at our company for 23 years, and now that she's
retiring, we need to give her the best goodbye party ever. Just think
back on all the ways Kathy has made your life better. If you're like most
of us, her smile has cheered you up on a rough day. Or she's jumped in
to help you meet a deadline you were about to miss. Maybe you just
liked stopping by her desk to share a laugh and a piece of candy from
her candy jar. However Kathy has touched your life, let's show her how
much she has meant to this company
Passage 2:
We must make sure that Kathy's retirement party reflects her long
service to the company, Kathy joined our firm in 1991 as an assistant
in the mail room, where she helped process letters and packages
coming into our office. From there, she was promoted to file clerk, a
role in which she contributed greatly to the efficiency of our storage
systems. Finally, in 2008, Kathy became the front desk receptionist -
the face of the company and a helpful resource for employees and
visitors alike. Please join us in honoring Kathy

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
