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.
Every veteran can be certain: The Nation you served and the people you defended are grateful.
On behalf of the Nation, I thank you for your service to our country.
The loss is terrible. It is borne especially by the families left behind.
