On the recordDecember 7, 2005
We heeded the call to action during World War II as the greatest generation battled oppression and led the effort to help Europe rebuild. Today, we are faced with a similar mission in Iraq, one that will help focus momentum in the region toward the causes of freedom and democracy. Our men and women serving in Iraq are part of another great generation of patriots committed to a mission that became clear on September 11, 2001, another day that will live in infamy in our Nation's history. Freedom is not free, but it is always worth fighting for. As John F. Kennedy once stated, the cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose is the path of surrender or submission. We have the mission for victory in Iraq. Let us honor that pledge. ____________________
