“Russia realizes it’s not just about taking territory. It’s about breaking a nation’s will—not the Ukrainians’, but ours. And will, once broken, is a very difficult thing to repair.”

I was happy to start the day by addressing the RI Academic Decathlon at Bryant University. What a pleasure to be around such bright, inquisitive, and hard working young people. Seventeen high schools, made up of RI’s future innovators and leaders, competed today.

This week, Secretary Amore taught civics lessons at two schools and stopped by Mt. Hope High School to see students' civic action project. Three students organized a voter registration drive for classmates. It's great to see them putting what they have learned into practice.

One hundred and sixty one years ago today the most famous ten sentences ever uttered by an American President were delivered at Gettysburg National Cemetery -to a nation divided well beyond the divisions we face today. It’s always worth a re-read if you can find a few minutes today.
