On the recordNovember 14, 2007
today America and our allies in Iraq are breathing a collective sigh of relief as we continue to receive successful report after successful report of al Qaeda's demise in Iraq. We continue to pray for a complete end to hostilities, but today we pause to thank America's brave military members and also their family members. Just recently, 168 brave men and women returned from the famous Red Bulls to Minnesota. They were deployed for 13 months, and we thank them for their sacrifice. The happy news is that not one of the 168 returned home with serious injury. Everyone was able to walk out and meet their loved ones. It seems every generation has to learn the lessons of freedom. Freedom is precious, Madam Speaker, and we thank those today who secured our freedom and the freedom of our allies.
