Today we honor our three captains
For their actions and impact in
A time of uncertainty and need.
They've taken the lead,
Exceeding all expectations
and limitations,
Uplifting their communities
and neighbors
As leaders, healers and educators.
Let us walk with these warriors,
Charge on with these champions,
And carry forth the call of our captains!
We celebrate them by acting
With courage and compassion,
By doing what is right and just.
For while we honor them today,
It is they who every day honor us.
Excerpt from Amanda Gorman's
"Chorus of the Captains"
