On the State of the Union
(This was originally posted on another site on the day that the State of the Union speech was given.)
I thought it was about time to post something here and this turned in to the perfect time. I want to share some thoughts about one favorite portion from the “State of the Union” address Bush presented last night.
Some of you might be wondering, “What does that address have to do with the American Wars?” Actually, I believe quite a bit. The main reason being that Bush actually spoke in great lengths about our current war on terrorism (I’ll save my thoughts on that for a bit later).
He said something in particular that I believe is worth quoting here.
Bush: Marine Staff Sergeant Dan Clay was killed last month fighting in Fallujah. He left behind a letter to his family, but his words could just as well be addressed to every American. Here is what Dan wrote: “I know what honor is. … It has been an honor to protect and serve all of you. I faced death with the secure knowledge that you would not have to…. Never falter! Don’t hesitate to honor and support those of us who have the honor of protecting that which is worth protecting.”
I think that says it all.
