President Roosevelt tells the crowd he is glad to see them but wishes he could have passed through in daylight to see their “grand and beautiful historic state.” He says he will visit Virginia again soon. Referring to his journey through North Carolina and Tennessee, Roosevelt says that all Americans, especially the president, should travel and see that sectional differences are trivial while American similarities are fundamental. He states that Americans will rise or fall together. Roosevelt concludes by recognizing the special relationship Virginia has with American history in peacetime and war.
