WASHINGTON (UPI) -- President George Bush Saturday said U.S. military
forces "make it possible for America to endure as a free society."
In his weekly radio address, the president said U.S. troops are
continuing a "proud tradition of defending liberty."
"In the United States, we believe in the rights and dignity of every
person," Bush said. "We believe in equal justice, limited government
and the rule of law. And we believe in personal responsibility and
tolerance towards others."
The president said the American "creed of freedom and equality has
lifted the lives of millions of Americans, whether citizens by birth
or citizens by choice."
"This creed of freedom has required brave defenders, and every
generation of Americans has produced them," he said. "From the
soldiers who fought for independence at Bunker Hill and Yorktown, to
the Americans who broke the chains of slavery, liberated Europe and
Asia from tyranny, and brought down an evil empire, the people of this
great land have always risen to freedom's defense."
Bush said Americans owe a debt of gratitude to men and women in
uniform today, "in places like Afghanistan and Iraq."
"These brave Americans make it possible for America to endure as a
free society," he said.
