Barack Obama: “You are living memorials, living memorials to the loved ones you left here and to the spirit we must strive to uphold in…”

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

Every president here today, as different as we are, has tried our best to uphold the values that John McCain and Mitt Romney believed in no less than I did.

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.
