I just want to say Thank You to every American who has served in the Armed Forces. You have sacrificed time away from your families, suffered through the training and deployments and some of you have lived the physical and emotional roller-coaster that is combat. Some have suffered horrible injuries and some have given their lives, so I can sit here in comfort and express these thoughts freely.

May God bless each one of you, keep you safe and speed your Victory against whatever battle you are fighting today or will fight tomorrow. To say ‘Thank You’ is hardly enough.
