"America still remains what President Lincoln called 'The last best hope on Earth.'" "...We should all reflect on how truly fortunate each of us is to live in this blessed country. ... And most of all, we all should pause and remember and honor all of those who are undertaking the truly noble work of preserving our freedom. We are deeply in their debt."
-- Former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld
