We salute our mothers, our daughters, our sisters, our friends, the women who built this country and keep it strong. We pledge to keep faith with their spirit and to achieve our shared ideals.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1800348\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We have done some good things together, but we must do more, and we will.</p>",
