In a historic ceremony today on the steps of the Capitol building, President Jack Ryan signed landmark legislation, officially transforming American Samoa, Baker Island, Guam, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Islands, Navassa Island, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palmyra Atoll, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island into the 51st through 64th states of the United States.

As our nation continues to heal from the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack that claimed the lives of President Vances and many federal officials, today’s event served as a beacon of hope and renewal. The atmosphere on the National Mall was electric, filled with thousands of citizens from the newly recognized states, celebrating their long-awaited inclusion.

Dressed in traditional attire that showcased their rich and diverse cultures, attendees waved flags and cheered as President Ryan addressed the crowd, stating, "In these last fifteen days, our nation has faced unimaginable loss. But today, we gather to honor that loss by reaffirming our commitment to inclusivity, resilience, and the bonds that connect us all as Americans."

Taking a moment to reflect on the histories of the newly admitted states, President Ryan remarked, "These unique places have always been part of our American family, deserving recognition as equal partners in this great endeavor." With each signature on the bill, the crowd erupted into applause, their earlier grief momentarily lifted by a shared sense of purpose and hope.

"This is our moment—a chance to be heard, to be valued, and to contribute to the American story," the President further declared, as laughter and cheers filled the air. The official transition from 50 to 64 states not only reshapes the map but also symbolizes our nation’s resilience and unity in the face of adversity.

As the ceremony continued, representatives from the new states joined the President at the podium, sharing poignant stories of struggle, hope, and ambition. Each voice contributed to the uplifting chorus celebrating inclusivity and a brighter future.

President Ryan emphasized, "Our work doesn’t end here," highlighting the ongoing commitment to ensure that every voice is valued in America's unfolding narrative. "We will carry forward the legacy of those we have lost, ensuring that their sacrifices are honored in the vibrant, diverse future we are creating for all Americans."

The event reached its emotional peak as the sun began to set behind the Capitol, casting a warm golden light over the gathering—a fitting metaphor for the dawn of a new chapter in American history.

As President Ryan stepped away from the podium and the celebrations commenced, Americans across the country are reminded that even in the darkest of times, hope and unity can not only prevail but can lead to new beginnings and promising futures. Today, the spirit of resilience shines brightly as the nation stands firmly together.
