Which statement best explains Kennedy's message in this excerpt?
Read the excerpt from John F. Kennedy's inaugural
address
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to
bear arms, though arms we need not as a call to battle,
though embattled we are--but a call to bear the burden
of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing
in hope, patient in tribulation"-a struggle against the
common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and
war itself
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global
alliance, North and South, East and West, that can
assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in
that historic effort?
O American citizens must be prepared for war.
O The United States is prepared to protect freedom.
O The United States is the greatest country in the world.
O American citizens have a history of protecting
democracy,
In the long history of the world, only a few generations
have been granted the role of defending freedom in its
hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this
responsibility--welcome it do not believe that any of
void(o).
