"We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win today the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!"

- President Whitmore, shortly before America once again saves the world
