The last problem I'd like to point out to you is one that perhaps is of most interest to me, except maybe the military.

We're the strongest nation on Earth economically; we're the strongest nation on Earth politically; we're the strongest nation on Earth militarily.

We are also grateful that France maintains and improves its forces that are essential for defense.

Enlisted personnel received $1,104,328 in awards, which represents 82 percent of the total cash awards paid.

I am proud of the fact that we have given additional support to our national defense program.

I am proud to say that there's not a single young American fighting or dying on any foreign soil today.

I am looking forward to a continuation of a strong national defense program.

But in order for America to be not only the symbol but the hope for freedom and liberty around the world, America must remain strong militarily.

Not a single young American is fighting or dying on foreign soil today, and we are proud of it.

One of the greatest achievements of this administration is the fact that we have peace and not a single young American is fighting or dying on any foreign soil tonight.

Nothing pleases me more than we can say, and say with honesty: There's not a single young American fighting or dying on any foreign battlefield tonight.

A good defense is never a cheap defense.

Not a single young American is fighting or dying on any foreign battlefield tonight, and they won't.

Not a single young American is fighting or dying on any foreign soil tonight, and we will keep it that way.

H.R. 2735 significantly improves the scope of medical care services available to our Nation's disabled veterans and their families.
