Our obligation also includes...continuing the service this country owes our veterans after your service in uniform ends.
America has over one million Portuguese-Americans.
Our hearts are with Pedro's family in this difficult time.
Being strong abroad and being strong at home are two sides of the coin we should have for America.
We owe you the safety of our shores and the liberty we enjoy.
Now it will not stop us from responding both quickly and compassionately to veterans' needs.
To those of you here who defended us in that war, I salute you, and on behalf of all the American people, I thank you.
To each and every American who has worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces, we say simply, from the bottom of...
A grateful nation thanks you with this day and with all our hearts for what you have done and what you continue to do.
This trip to Asia and the other events of the next 6 weeks give us a unique opportunity to join hands and do just that.
I am proud to share this Veterans Day with you in this magnificent place of rest and reverence.
