english: They gave me a legacy, and with that legacy comes a responsibility, and I am dedicated to making my country an even better America, to making our government an even truer democracy, and because of the heroes that I have and the struggles that we've gone through, I can stand before you as a gay Japanese-American, but even more than that, I am a proud American.
non_english: Dali su mi nasleđe, sa kojim dolazi odgovornost i posvećen sam tome da od svoje zemlje napravim još bolju Ameriku, da od naše Vlade napravim još bolju demokratiju, i zbog heroja koje imam i patnji kroz koje sam prošao, mogu da stanem pred vas kao gej Amerikanac japanskog porekla, ali i više od toga, ja sam ponosni Amerikanac.
