It is not our weapons or our technology that make us the most advanced military in the world; it is the unparalleled spirit, skill, and devotion of our troops. As we honor our veterans with ceremonies on this day, let our actions strengthen the bond between a Nation and her warriors.
Thank you to generations of troops who have served our nation. We were born in war, preserved in war, kept free in war, and remain at war today against monstrous killers who must be stopped. There will be veterans in the future, too, who we will owe our thanks to one day.
