　　We hope that this holiday season will be a chance for us to live out that message

　　to bridge our differences and lift up our families, friends, and neighbors and to reconnect withthe values that bind us together.

　　架起桥梁、求同存异，激励我们的家人朋友、左邻右舍重拾昔日的价值，团结奋进。

　　And as a country, that also means celebrating and honoring those who have served andsacrificedfor all of us—our troops, veterans, and their families.

　　从国家而言，我们应该向所有为国服务并做出牺牲的人致敬，那就是我们的军人、退伍老兵以及他们的家人。

　　We're able to gather with family and friends because our troops are willing to hug theirgoodbye and step forward to serve.

　　因此，我们的军人将陆续回国，回到我们的企业中，回到我们的学校里，回到我们的教会和社区，

　　it's up to all of us to servethem as well as they have served us.

　　而我们应该准备好为他们服务，就像他们曾经为我们付出一样。
