Political Quotes

“Seventeen young crew members in the U.S. Navy were serving their country. In an instant, their lives were taken as a result of this terrorist attack on the U.S.S. Cole. Of those killed, most were young. Most came from our typical American hometown. They all left families and friends to mourn them. My thoughts and prayers go out to those families and friends. We, as a country, grieve with them. A senseless tragedy like this attack on the U.S.S. Cole, I think, allows us to reflect on all those military service members and their families who sacrifice so much while serving this great country. Our brave men and women in all the branches of the armed services stand ready to defend America, not only within our borders, but throughout unpredictable international waters and lands. Let us continually stand behind them and support them and humbly recognize their sacrifices. We would not be enjoying the freedoms we have now without the sacrifices of so many during our great country's history.”
