“Everything worthwhile is a good idea, but did you ever notice there is more bad ideas that will work than there is good ones?”

“Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay, but we can honor their sacrifice.”
“So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us - because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.”
“Throughout America today, we honor the dead of our wars. We recall their valor and their sacrifices. We remember they gave their lives so that others might live.”
