“50,000 marines and sailors who call San Diego home are officially at war, and I respect their courage and the skills they bring in defending our freedom. I have met with many of these families and with those who advocate on behalf of them, the ombudspeople who volunteer every day to ensure that parents and spouses and children get the support they need in times of peace and in times of war. I supported the resolution 2 weeks ago, and I will support it again tonight, because my support overrides honest differences that I and many of my constituents have in the course that we have taken. Jessica, whose fiance is a marine in the Gulf, sent in an article from San Diego today: "Nobody wants war, but the troops need our support. They have the toughest job. I get to sleep in my bed tonight."”
