I have a final statement, sir.
I don't think there's a more magnificent time to serve than now, because the missions are just. But those in uniform who I've spoken to across the country ask two things of their leaders.
One, when you commit them to a mission, then you give them the tools to win. You leave when you've won or you've handed over or you simply cannot, and then it's recognized as a failure.
But, two, when they come back in body bags or injured, then you treat them and their families with respect and dignity so that they don't have to fight again to live decently as veterans in this country.
Thank you very much.
