Promise to the troops
President Bush made a clear statement today that our military men and women can be certain there will be no reduction of at least one thing.
President Bush on Saturday told troops who are spending Christmas far from their families that “the coming year will bring change” – but no reduction in support for their service and sacrifice…
“I want our troops to know that while the coming year will bring change, one thing will not change, and that is our nation’s support for you and the vital work you do to achieve a victory in Iraq.”
They need to hear and know that.
In his radio address, Bush called on Americans to spend the holidays remembering troops with prayers, gifts, help for families left behind, visits to hospitals and just simple gratitude.
“Christmas reminds us that we have a duty to others, and we see that sense of duty fulfilled in the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform,” he said. “I urge every American to find some way to thank our military this Christmas season.”
