excerpt?
read the excerpt from president john f. kennedy's 1961
inaugural address.
let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that
we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the
survival and the success of liberty.
this much we pledge—and more.
to those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we
share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. united, there
is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.
divided, there is little we can do for we dare not meet a
powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.
all other countries need to know that we will fight them
at any cost to maintain our liberty.
we value our allies, but we will go our own way if they
do not agree to work with us.
the only way to achieve success is to fight for the thing
you believe in, such as freedom.
we will do whatever it takes to preserve our freedom,
but will get more done working together.

Explanation:

This speech carries a hybrid message that first and foremost promises to defend the liberty and freedom of the United States no matter what. This part of the speech is direct at all countries, both friendly and unfriendly.

The second part of the speech is directly mostly at the nations that the United States considers to be close allies. This fragment reminds them that the United States is willing to cooperate with them to obtain good results for everyone. A the end of the speech, Kennedy also states that more can be done together than separately.

it means that people are present over there who cares for us who loves us and we are never alone there is always a supporting hands behind us so never lose your hope and confidently move ahead to get success in your life.if you make mistakes there are people to make it correct

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
