This patriotic original conveys an important message about the multiplying power of unity and finding strength and making progress as we join together in our efforts and understanding. It calls upon the ideas of looking back: remembering the cost of those who have gone before us to instill pride and thanks; and the ideas of looking forward: to stir the feelings of our own personal commitments to the original values upon which our nation was built: freedom, equality, opportunity, progress, standing up for the truth, and devotion to our country. Trumpet and Snare Drum play an important role (parts are included) and there is an optional narration which may be read before the piece is performed.
