Let us pray for the safety of the troops, these men and women who have put their lives and dreams on hold because they understand the threat our world faces.
May Americans of every creed turn to our greatest power and unite together in prayer.
America, the finest, most loving nation on Earth, is at war, at war against the oldest enemy of the human spirit: evil that threatens world peace.
Keep in mind that no matter how much you depend on your parents, your country depends on them, too.
Your parents, your loved ones, our troops in the Gulf are enduring the hardships of war today so that you may know the blessings of peace tomorrow.
Your dedication and bravery is lighting the heart -- believe me -- it is lighting the heart of every American.
I came down here to thank you on behalf of a grateful nation for your steadfast service and sacrifice because when proud men and women of Fort Stewart and Hunter Field put it all on the line, every one of you is right there with them.
We will stay in the Gulf for as long as necessary, but not one day longer than it takes us to complete this mission.
The brave service men and women of this base are part of the most motivated, the best educated, the best equipped Armed Forces in the history of this great country of ours, bar none.
It is the story of Semper Fi -- Always Faithful -- to the liberty which set men free.
May God bless the United States of America and each and every one of you.
You will have seen a very moving scene: The entire Congress... rose to their feet in a prolonged, heartfelt tribute to the troops.
