"Namun ketika darah putra-putra imigran dan cucu budak jatuh di ladang asing, itu adalah darah Amerika. Di dalamnya Anda tidak bisa membaca keterangan etnis prajurit yang mati di sebelah Anda. Dia orang Amerika. Dan ketika saya memikirkan bagaimana kita mempelajari pelajaran ini, saya bertanya-tanya bagaimana kita bisa melupakannya."

--- Bob Dole

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Yet when the blood of the sons of immigrants and the grandsons of slaves fell on foreign fields, it was American blood. In it you could not read the ethnic particulars of the soldier who died next to you. He was an American. And when I think of how we learned this lesson, I wonder how we could have unlearned it.
