(President Barack Obama)
Thank you. Thank you everybody.
...and when our fellow citizens commit themselves to shed blood
for us that binds our fates with theirs in a way that nothing else can
and in the end, caring for those who have given their fullest
measure of devotion to us, for their families... is a matter of honor.
We will fulfill our sacred trust and serve our returning heroes as well as they have served us. Thank you.
