We Salute All Veterans
THE PRESIDENT: Veterans Day is set aside to remember every man and woman who has taken up arms to defend our country. We honor every soldier, sailor, airman, Marine and Coastguardsman who gave some of the best years of their lives to the service of the United States and stood ready to give life, itself, on our behalf. Twenty-five million military veterans walk among us, and on this day, our nation thanks them all.
What veterans have given our country is beyond our power to fully repay, yet, today we recognize our debt to their honor. And on this national holiday, our hearts are filled with respect and gratitude for the veterans of the United States of America.
May God bless our veterans and their families, and may God continue to bless our great nation. Thank you.
Love, Respect, Admiration
Rush: Today is Veterans Day, and, you know, we always take time on this program, not just on Veterans Day, but throughout the year to constantly express our gratitude, our love, and our actual celebration of the entire Armed Services, past members, present members, those of you who will join.
You have our uncompromised respect and love and appreciation.
I would like to recognize and offer a special salute today to a unit that enlisted for a second tour of duty, and they took a lot of hostile enemy fire. They did it knowing this would happen. They essentially took their swift boat back up the river. This is the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
They stayed true to their mission. They never flinched. They never wavered despite the hostile fire that came at them from the media in an attempt to destroy them yet again.
So on Veterans Day we would like to, not single them out, but just offer them a special salute here and consideration.
