"My fellow Americans, fellow New Yorkers. Please let us take a moment to remember the men, women, and children who were taken from us five years ago. Five bells for the five years of sorrow. Sacrifice ... is something that we're all too familiar with. We've all lost. We've all mourned. And we've all had to become soldiers, ... heroes ... Protecting one another -- from the gravest of dangers. This is a battle that none of us wanted. One that we entered with a heavy heart. Knowing that the enemy was ourselves. We've won battles -- the world over. Not only against those that would do us harm, -- but against poverty, reclaiming the environment ... But we do not forget the price that we've had to pay. The laws that we've had to pass to keep our citizens safe. To preserve our way of life. Our hope has always been that a great peace is on the horizon, that one day wounds would be healed and salvation could be found. I'm here to tell you that that day is today. I'm proud to announce that we have developed a treatment, a method to reverse the genetic code. The first clinics will open next month across the world. And soon, -- we can begin lifting restrictions. Cities and families can be reunited. And we can finally live without fear. We've been vigilant. We have been uncompromising -- and our efforts have paid off. The nightmare is over. The world is saved."
