President Bush in his Radio Address May 29, 2004
"Those who have fought the battles of the war on terror and served the cause of freedom can be proud of
all they have achieved. And these veterans of battle will carry with them, for all their days, the memory of the ones who did not live to be called veterans. Each man or woman we
have laid to rest had hopes for the future, and left a place that can never be filled. Each was the most important person in someone's life. For their families there is terrible
sorrow, and we pray for their comfort. For the nation, there is a feeling of loss, and we remember each name.
Through our history, America has gone to war reluctantly because we have known the costs of war. And in every generation, it is the best among us who are called to pay that price.
Those who have paid those costs have given us every moment we live in freedom, and every living American is in their debt. We can never repay what they gave for this country. But on
this holiday, we acknowledge the debt by showing our respect and gratitude."
