There are some differences.
Clinton:
>Other Americans have showed their loyalty by courageously challenging
>our Nation to live up to its ideals. We owe a profound debt to the
>heroes and visionaries who opposed slavery, reformed labor practices,
>won the right to vote for women, marched for civil rights, and spoke
>out with conscience and conviction whenever we have failed to uphold
>the highest standards of freedom and justice.
Only in the past, of course.
And Bush:
>Americans have not let the dream of "a more perfect Union" fade with
>the passing of time. Rather, each new generation, along with
>millions of immigrants, has promoted ideals that lead to the
>archetype that the founders envisioned. Heroes have risen to fight
>for freedom, abolition of slavery, universal suffrage, civil rights,
>and other principles that form the foundation of our Nation. Today,
>citizens across the country continue this tradition by giving their
>time and effort to causes greater than themselves. Whether through
>charitable, civic, or church activities, Americans demonstrate their
>loyalty by working to improve our country and the lives of its
>people.
>
>Perhaps the most basic and important means by which we display
>loyalty to our country is by passing on to our children the hope and
>idealism that is an important part of the American spirit. Parents
>have the important task in ensuring that our Nation's future leaders
>are prepared to assume the responsibilities they will face.
>Teachers play essential roles in molding our young people, and they
>deserve our gratitude and respect for their dedication. Ministers
>and other mentors also give of themselves by introducing children to
>the vast opportunities that our Nation holds. By spending time with
>a child, Americans invest in the future of our country.
