America is grateful for their daring, grateful for their honor, and grateful for their sacrifice.
Our veterans have borne the costs of America's wars and have stood watch over America's peace.
Our men and women are fighting for the security of America and for the advance of freedom, and that is a cause worth fighting for.
They died in distant lands to fight terror, to advance freedom, and to protect America.
