America's Armed Forces represent the very best of our national character.

World Trade Week is an opportunity for us to reaffirm the importance of trade to our Nation's continued economic recovery and growth.
We owe our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen more than our gratitude; we owe them our support.
Today, let us raise our flags high to honor the service members who keep us safe.
Together, we will make this new century an American century yet again, and secure a bright future for generations to come.
Government can't create jobs, but it can create the conditions for small businesses to grow and thrive.
I urge the Senate to give early and favorable consideration to the Treaty, including its Protocol, and to give its advice and consent to ratification.
It's not a real recovery until people can feel it in their own lives.
It remains increasingly important that we ensure the safety, security, and effectiveness of our nuclear weapons stockpile.
This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by any party against the United States.
I'm not interested in another old debate about big government versus small government.
I am firmly committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and effective nuclear arsenal to deter adversaries and reassure U.S. allies and other security partners.
I encourage all Americans to observe this occasion with programs and activities to support their local EMS workers and to improve their own safety and preparedness skills.
Helping businesses create jobs should be something that both parties can agree on.
The expertise and commitment these men and women bring to their roles will make them tremendous assets to my administration, and I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.
My Administration is dedicated to seeking the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, 5 U.S.C. 3345,et seq., it is hereby ordered that:
We are not, suddenly, as of July 2011, finished with Afghanistan. In fact, to the contrary, part of what I've tried to emphasize to President Karzai and the Afghan people but also to the American people, is this a long-term partnership.
Nils Daulaire, M.D., M.P.H., Director, Office of Global Health Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, to be a Delegate
