Barack Obama actually said...

"I call on all Americans to honor military families through private actions and public service for the tremendous contributions they make in support of our service members and our Nation."

"Let us honor the brave patriots who keep our country safe, and let us forever hold close the memories of those who have perished in the line of duty."

"We must press on toward tomorrow's promising breakthroughs in prevention, treatment, and care."

"Our work goes on, because we know this Nation can't succeed without a growing, thriving middle class."
