I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.  I have taken a moment to here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back at the distance I have come.  But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities and I dare not linger, for my long walk has not ended". and his laser engraved, replica signature, to an approximate overall size of 19x19x2 inches
