Gravesite Inscription: Let the word go forth From this time and place To friend and foe alike That the torch has been passed To a new generation of Americans.Let every nation know Whether it wishes us well or ill That we shall pay any price - bear any burden Meet any hardship - support any friend Oppose any foe to assure the survival And the success of libertyNow the trumpet summons us again Not as a call to bear arms - though embattled we are But a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle A struggle against the common enemies of man Tyranny - Poverty - Disease - and War itselfIn the long history of the world Only a few generations have been granted The role of defending freedom In the hour of maximum danger I do not shrink from this responsibility I welcome itThe Energy - the Faith - the Devotion Which we bring to this endeavor Will light our country And all who serve it And the glow from that fire Can truly light the worldAnd so my fellow Americans Ask not what your country can do for you Ask what you can do for your country My fellow citizens of the world - ask not What America can do for you - but what together We can do for the freedom of manWith a good conscience our only sure reward With history the final judge of our deeds Let us go forth to lead the land we love - asking His blessing And his help - but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.Inaugural Address - January 20, 1961
