On the recordApril 23, 2002
I am pleased to be here to give thanks to the members of the District of Columbia's National Guard, the National Guard Bureau, and the Department of Defense. For nearly 5 months the men and women of the District of Columbia Army National Guard answered the call of duty to help protect the Nation's Capitol complex, and they did it with grace, efficiency, and thoroughness. They watched over us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, compiling an incredible total of 207,120 hours of work over 150 days. This was time away from their loved ones, time away from their places of employment, time they spent in service to their country, and we are deeply grateful for that service.
