champion of liberty
President of Czechoslovakia

"Seven decades ago, an unprecedented partnership began between two presidents; the philosopher, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk; and the idealistic scholar, Woodrow Wilson. It was a partnership as well among Czechs and Slovaks to join together in federation. And, yes, it was a long, hard road from their work on your Declaration of Independence to this magnificent celebration today. I am proud to walk these last steps with you as one shared journey ends and another begins."
