"Each of you who wears our nation's uniform makes an invaluable contribution to the safety, security, and well-being of the United States and of the entire world."

"American owes you a debt of gratitude for all that you have done for our Nation and for all that you continue to do to protect the blessings of liberty we cherish."

"The Nation's peace and stability are in very capable hands; we are deeply grateful."

"The deficit is down."
