George Bush actually said...

"I emphasize the word 'grateful,' because we're a grateful nation for those who are willing to serve and to protect us all."

"Every one took an oath and carried a badge and committed his or her life to keeping the peace and protecting others."

"It is important for Americans to know that we have enough Guard forces to win the war on terror, to respond to natural disasters, and to help secure our border."

"It's wonderful to be here with our dear friends the Howards."
