For anyone who doesn't know me, my name's Steve Rogers. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet many of you at the feast. Things came up, but I at least wanted to introduce myself.
[For reasons, curiosity. Maybe he's a limited edition but he's definitely not one of a kind.]
I also wanted to talk about something else. Some of you might remember Sam Wilson - in fact, if you ever met him, I'm willing to bet that you do. Sam served two tours in the military, so he could definitely hold his own in a fight. But what he really loved to do was help people. My entire world had turned its back on me, and Sam took me in, made me bacon and eggs. That's the kind of friend I hope to be to anyone who'd call me one.
[Emphasis on 'anyone'.]
Sam's gone now, but he started working on something before he left. It's a clinic, he called it The Nest. There's some medicine and stuff there, but it was more than that. It was a place for people to come if they just needed to talk, or if they needed to rest. I never realized it before, but sometimes in a war people need that as much as they need bandaging up.
[Steve pauses there to take deep breath. Here comes the hard part.]
This is my friend's legacy, and I've tried to keep it afloat. The problem is, I don't know how. And it's hard for me to ask for help sometimes.
[He can barely even maintain eye contact. But the same thing keeps going through his head, fuels him on: for Sam.]
But if you have anything to offer...if you have medical knowledge or if you're just a good listener, even if you want somewhere else to stay. There's a place for you here.
I guess that's it. Again, welcome, and try to watch yourselves out there.

[Snow White the thief? He's amused though.]
I guess that's the way it is a lot of times.

[How much different is his own life? He's Captain America, a hero, a symbol. But he's human, and there's a lot more to it than that.]

[Everyone makes mistakes. It's whether they do it with the best of intentions, whether they learn from them. It's only human to, but that doesn't mean they can't try strive to keep moving forward and rise above it somehow.]
