16 Dec 2001 Letter to a Soldier: Thanks from the National Defense Center -December 2001
Letter to a Soldier
To the heroic members of the United States military:
Today, as you courageously defend the freedoms and principles of America, I personally offer my sincere support, unity and encouragement to you. The war on terrorism is not only being fought by you in treacherous lands abroad, but in the homes and hearts of the American people here in the United States. We all were attacked on September 11. That’s why we all have a critical stake in ensuring that this battle against terrorism is won decisively. And that’s why I want you to know that as a patriotic American, I am willingly providing support to you both financially and morally. I am grateful that you are willingly risking your life for me and for my family, and I appreciate the sacrifices you are making in the defense of my freedoms and my life. I know being away from your loved ones is painful, but please know that I, and your fellow Americans, support you as you willingly make this sacrifice for us. Today, I stand united with you in this great cause for justice and freedom. And I am standing with your Commander-in-Chief and our President, George W. Bush, in fulfilling his promise to you: “I made a commitment to every serviceman and woman: For the mission that lies ahead, you will have everything you need — every resource, every weapon, every means to assure full victory for the United States, our allies, our friends, and the cause of freedom.” |
