And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Halo dream.

I have a dream that one day this clan will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all players are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the eastern edge of Blood Gulch, the former members of ZA and the former members of SH will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the clan of CnR, a clan sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my clan members will one day live in a world where they will not be judged by the credits which they show on Pro Stats but by their dedication to ZA.

I have a dream today!

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our servers into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to fight together, to defend each other, to struggle together, to be nobled together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of Slim's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My clan 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my clanmates died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if Halo is to be a great world, this must become true.

And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of HBC.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of SU.

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of UAF.

Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of FC.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of DF.

But not only that:

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of HLN.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of AAA.

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of BFM.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every clan site and every server, from every clan and every player's Xfire profile, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, OZ members and POQ members, xs and Saint, EOD and XG, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old ZA spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
