So I say to you, the people of Europe, don't forget who you are (a
lecon of optimism by President Obama)
(…)
You are the heirs to a struggle for freedom. You're the Germans, the
French, the Dutch, the Belgians, the Luxembourgers, the Italians --
and yes, the British -- (applause) -- who rose above old divisions and
put Europe on the path to union. (Applause.)
You’re the Poles of Solidarity and the Czechs and Slovaks who waged
a Velvet Revolution. You’re the Latvians, and Lithuanians and Estonians
who linked hands in a great human chain of freedom. You’re the Hungarians
and Austrians who cut through borders of barbed wire. And you’re the
Berliners who, on that November night, finally tore down that wall.
You’re the people of Madrid and London who faced down bombings and refused
to give in to fear.
And you are the Parisians who, later this year, plan to reopen the Bataclan.
You’re the people of Brussels, in a square of flowers and flags, including
one Belgian who offered a message -- we need “more.” More understanding.
More dialogue. More humanity.
That's who you are. United, together. You are Europe -- “United in diversity.”
Guided by the ideals that have lit the world, and stronger when you
stand as one. (Applause.)
As you go forward, you can be confident that your greatest ally and
friend, the United States of America, stands with you, shoulder-to-shoulder,
now and forever. Because a united Europe -- once the dream of a few
-- remains the hope of the many and a necessity for us all.
