“Congratulations and thank you for doing such significant work. I am not sure if others have described it as patriotic, but to me, that seems the most fitting adjective.  As the data so clearly demonstrate, we have our work cut out for us if everyone is to realize the promise of America.  Fortunately, your work has the potential to spark a constructive national conversation and chart a course for positive change.”
