Welcome again, it’s wonderful to see all of you here at this important celebration of America’s history. Julie and I are honored by so many special guests, too many to name, but I want to extend a special welcome, of course, to President Peres—I’m very glad you could join us tonight and appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to celebrate with us. We will also be hearing greetings from Prime Minister Netanyahu in a few moments, by video, and I’m grateful for his participation. We wish him a speedy recovery. I also want to send our condolences to the family of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.
