I want you all to understand that as we work to peace—as we work for peace— and that's my goal—we must also work to make America a better place.

I do hereby proclaim Sunday, September 29, 2002, as Gold Star Mother's Day.
There's no doubt in my mind that we can achieve peace in the world if we remain strong and diligent and focused and tough when we need to.
