...of the Beldon Cup
for his beautiful Miniver rose.

2:04:09
And our hearts go out in sympathy...
2:04:12
...for the two families who share
the cruel loss of a young girl...

2:04:15
...who was married at this altar
only two weeks ago.

2:04:20
The homes of many of us
have been destroyed...

2:04:23
...and the lives of young
and old have been taken.

2:04:27
There's scarcely a household
that hasn't been struck to the heart.

2:04:31
And why?
2:04:34
Surely you must have asked
yourselves this question.

2:04:37
Why, in all conscience...
2:04:40
...should these be the ones to suffer?
2:04:43
Children, old people...
2:04:47
...a young girl at the height
of her loveliness.

2:04:51
Why these?
Are these our soldiers?

2:04:54
Are these our fighters?
2:04:56
Why should they be sacrificed?
2:05:02
I shall tell you why.
2:05:05
Because this is not only a war
of soldiers in uniform...

2:05:09
...it is a war of the people.
2:05:11
Of all the people.
2:05:13
And it must be fought
not only on the battlefield...

2:05:17
...but in the cities
and in the villages.

2:05:21
In the factories and on the farms.
2:05:24
In the home and in the heart...
2:05:27
...of every man, woman and child
who loves freedom.

2:05:31
Well, we have buried our dead...
2:05:35
...but we shall not forget them.
2:05:37
Instead, they will inspire us
with an unbreakable determination...

2:05:42
...to free ourselves
and those who come after us...

2:05:45
...from the tyranny and terror
that threaten to strike us down.

2:05:50
This is the people's war.
2:05:53
It is our war.
2:05:55
We are the fighters.
2:05:58
Fight it, then.
2:05:59
Fight it with all that is in us.
