It’s hard to come up with words – beyond the too-simple but thoroughly-heartfelt “Thank you” – for our veterans.
Most of what I need to say, I said on 9/11. For those of you – to all of you in the audience who served on ships, subs, planes, tanks, cheeseboxes, or carried rifles, typewriters, cable spools or maps for trucks to follow in wars hot, cold and in-between over the past three generations – who spent the best years of your lives in uniform, thank you.
You are welcome, Mitch and thanks for the tribute.
It was my honor and privilege to wear the uniform of the United States Air Force and serve the greatest country on earth! May God save us all!
