As great as this video is, the transcription of her response may even be better:
Question:

"And I believe that they should...
"Our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S... uh...
"Or, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries...
"So we will be able to build up our future... for our [children]."

My hilarious friends used to rent a bus every year (called the Miss Ameribus) They would drive it with a bunch of people to Atlantic City for the Miss America Pageant. Of course there were many activities on the bus including their own pageant with talent portion (my friend Kathryn won one year by playing The Rose on her recorder)Love it. PS She definitely DOES NOT KNOW where the US is on the map.
