We do not seek permanent military bases in Afghanistan.

We intend to maintain the downward trajectory of our troop numbers.

I will not keep Americans in harm's way a single day longer than is absolutely required for our national security.

We do not seek permanent military bases in Afghanistan.

Service members, veterans, spouses, and other family members should have access to a strong enforcement system through which to file complaints when institutions fail to follow the Principles.

To ensure our service members, veterans, spouses, and other family members have the information they need to make informed decisions concerning their well-earned Federal military and veterans educational benefits, I am directing my Administration to develop Principles of Excellence.

We have a sacred trust with those who serve and protect our nation.

All those who are fighting must recognize that there is no military solution.

Congratulations to the Fighting Falcons on winning their second straight and record 18th Commander in Chief Trophy last season.
