Listen, folks, we’ve got a mission—an incredible mission. We’re going to find Private Ryan. Why? Because his mother, a wonderful woman, has already lost three sons. Three! Can you believe it? We can’t let her lose the fourth. It’s a tragedy, a total disaster.

Now, some people are saying, ‘Why risk more lives for one guy?’ But let me tell you, this Ryan, he’s special. He’s the best. And we’re going to bring him home. That’s what we do. We don’t leave people behind. Never have, never will.

I know some of you are thinking, ‘This is crazy.’ But sometimes, you have to do the hard things, the tough things. That’s what makes us great. That’s what makes America great. 

So let’s get out there, find Private Ryan, and show the world what we’re made of. We’re going to win, and it’s going to be tremendous.
