We are descendants of a common creed, one Nation, under God; partners with a common purpose, to keep our Nation free and strong.

We come together this morning, as we do every year, to honor those who gave their lives so that future generations of Americans might live in freedom.

Our mission is to build a better future for our children, to build a world of peace, freedom, and prosperity.

We know to honor their truly extraordinary sacrifice, we must all resolve to keep the United States the world's leading force for peace and security, for prosperity and freedom.

America bows its head today in thanks to our fallen heroes.

Personal strength comes from growing out of tough times and learning what is best for you and those around you.

Let us draw inspiration from the spirit that surrounds us, to give those who still defend our freedom and security in the military today the support they need and deserve to fulfill their important mission.

The strength of our democracy is directly tied to the strength of our education system.

We must teach our children to resolve their conflicts with words, not weapons.

Today we salute our men and women in uniform and the families who support them.

Our troops deserve an America with strong families, safe streets, good schools, clean air and water.

We must vow to uphold the ideals they died for and make our country great.

Let us resolve to keep our America the strongest nation in the world and the world's strongest force for peace and freedom.

These brave men and women gave their tomorrows so that we might live in freedom.

Today, the men and women of America's Armed Forces are the best trained, best equipped, best prepared in the world.

Steady, strong American leadership is making our people safer and the world more secure.

America can help to push aside obstacles and point the way to peace.

We must build the American dream here at home, too.
