SWEARING IN 1. PRESENTATION BY MEGAN WILCOX To begin our swearing in ceremony, I have asked Morgan Wilcox to recite her winning essay from the Shawnee VFW Post Voice of Democracy contest. She is an eleventh grader at Maranatha Academy. And I was so impressed with what she had to say that I wanted to share that not only with the existing Councilmembers, but with our new Councilmembers that are coming in tonight. So, I thought tonight would be the perfect night to have her come and share this essay with us. And then I just learned she is also one of the state finalists for the Voice of Democracy contest. And so we wish her luck Saturday in Topeka when they announce the winner. So, Morgan, if you d like to come ton/vard and share your essay with us, please. want everyone to listen very carefully. And I MS. WILCOX: Thank you for this invitation to come and speak tonight. its an honor. l d like to also say thank you to the VFW for helping me get to this point. And so this is my speech. American History Our Hope for the Future. George Washington. Abraham Lincoln. - Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ronald Reagan. When average Americans hear these names, they immediately associate something with them. With George Washington, they may think of the Revolutionary War. Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation. The name Dwight D. Eisenhower may conjure thoughts of the inten/veaving system of highways throughout our nation. When Americans hear the name Ronald Reagan, they may think back to his consistent stance during the Cold War. But what about Chester Arthur? Chester Arthur was the 215 President of the United States of America, yet few know his name. This American President, who is not on any of our currency, nor whose name is a regular answer on Jeopardy, stood against the corrupt political machines that cheated people out of office when they deserved to be elected. He also passed an important act that hired government officials based upon merit not just popularity. He turned his back to the corrupt people he once stood with in order to do the right thing be above reproach. Yet, in a list of presidents or leaders of the free world, few would list him unless they just had to memorize the names of the presidents for history class. Still, this historical figure, when studied, is seen standing for what he believes in. Even if our names never grace the pages of an American

3 even Journal 77, Volume , Page 3 SHAWNEE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES January 8, 2018 history book, willour generation America s future? be known for doing the right thing and be the hope for Do we stand for what we believe in, for what we respect? Do we hold our fellow Americans accountable to the ideals on which our great nation was founded? Do we rise at the presentation of the colors which represent the free sky under which we thrive, the pure hearts of the courageous who risk their lives for ours and have spilled blood of those who believe enough in the future of America to die for her? Will we turn our back on the sins of our past and look only to the future guaranteed by the Savior, but secured by our soldiers? We have an obligation as American citizens to preserve our past and forward our future. As we face many obstacles, we must stand as a united nation, all races, all religions, all Americans. It a cord of three is not easily broken, a cord of million is inseparable. But who will rise? Who willstand? you? Will I? Who will lead us in our quest for total unity? Will Our generation willjoin those before us and answer these questions in the affirmative. We will learn from those who lived with integrity and our listed in the archives of our history. We will learn from the stories of our righteous forefathers. We will learn from the experience of our parents. We will learn from the courageous men and women who sacrifice everything for our ability to stand for what we believe. Like President Arthur, we willturn our backs on corruption and stand united. We will be above reproach acting as true Americans should act. We willconnect the hearts of all Americans and together lead our nation into a prosperous and united future. We will rise to protect our legacy and defend our horizon. We willfight forjustice. When we fall, we will rise again. If we do these things, we will preserve our history and we will be the hope for the future if no remembers our names. Thank you. (Applause) MAYOR DlSTLER: Thank you so much, Morgan. lt s always such a pleasure to see passionate young people engaged in the community and I hope others are inspired by your words. 2.
