Barack Obama actually said...

"As President, I have no higher honor than serving as their Commander in Chief."

"It is never too late to pay tribute to the men and women who answered the call of duty with courage and valor."

"We pledge to keep faith with those who were wounded and still carry the scars of war, seen and unseen."

"On Memorial Day, we honor those who have borne conflict's greatest cost, mourn where the wounds of war are fresh, and pray for a just, lasting peace."
