“These men ran through the fires of hell moved by a force no weapon could destroy: the fierce patriotism of a free, proud, and sovereign people. (Applause.) They battled not for control and domination, but for liberty, democracy, and self-rule.
“They pressed on for love in home and country—the main streets, the schoolyards, the churches and neighbors, the families and communities that gave us men such as these.
“They were sustained by the confidence that America can do anything because we are a noble nation, with a virtuous people, praying to a righteous God.”
