In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country as founded, each generation of Americas has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to service surround the globe.

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 many 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 me in this historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedoms in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink responsibility; I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotions which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

Marami raw uri ngpagkabansot ngunit ang pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay ang ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.

Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng pagklaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang paglaki at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan. Hindi lamang ng atinmg sukat at timbang.
