we have just voted on a bill with many important elements for our troops, and I wanted to say a few words about our men and women in uniform. Since taking office, I have had the chance to meet with our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and those here at home in my State of Tennessee, and I cannot describe a more patriotic, dedicated, and courageous group of human beings. In the face of adversity, tackling this enormous new war on terror, they have put on their game face and they have gotten to work. Their commitment to, as they like to call it, ``the mission,'' inspires me, and it inspires all of us to be sure that we are working here to do everything we can to support their work. So today, during Military Appreciation Month, I want to extend to our men and women in uniform the world over a great big thank-you from this American and from every other citizen whose freedom in life depends on their strength and conviction. May God bless all of them. ____________________
