MY FELLOW AMERICANS, THIS SUNDAY IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS OF THE YEAR, MOTHER’S DAY. A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO THANK ALL OF THE MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS IN OUR LIVES THE EARLIEST DAYS OF OUR REPUBLIC, AMERICA’S STRENGTH HAS COME FROM THE LOVE AND COURAGE AND DEVOTION OF OUR MOTHERS. THEY HELPED US GAIN OUR INDEPENDENCE. THROUGH THEIR GRIT, DETERMINATION AND INCREDIBLESPIRIT, THEY PIONEERED THE WEST AND SETTLED THE FRONTIER. DURING WORLD WAR II, AMERICA’S MOTHERS HELP BUILD THE GREATEST ARSENAL FOR DEMOCRACY. MY MOTHER WAS A GREAT PERSON. HER NAME WAS MARYMCLEOD AND SHE CAME FROM SCOTLAND AND THAT MY FATHER WHEN SHE WAS VERY YOUNG. THEY WERE MARRIED MANY YEARS AND I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM MY MOTHER. SHE WAS INCREDIBLE. WARM, LOVING, REALLY SMART, COULD BE TOUGH IF SHE HAD TO BE BUT BASICALLY SHE WAS A REALLY NICE PERSON. SO MUCH OF WHAT I HAVE DONE IN ONE I HAVE BECOME IS BECAUSE OF MY MOTHER. I MISS HER A LOT. I SAY THIS TO YOU AS I THINK ABOUT MY MOTHER, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
