Michelle Obama speaks at the opening ceremony for the 2015 Special Olympics:

Over the past few years, my husband and I have seen Americans unite in so many ways across the country. These games are a perfect reflection of that unity. They show us that we’re all in this together – that we can lift up our friends and neighbors, and that we can bring out the best in each other to reach even higher heights.
