1. The speaker at the beginning tells the reader his love for America after God and lastly himself in the phrase "next to of course god america i". Most of the poem is in quotation marks, probably because it was from a public speech. This unknown speaker could well have been a politician or a soldier showing his patriotism and religious belief.
