We remember.
This is the division insignia of the 104th Army Infantry Division, the Timberwolf Division. My dad served with this unit during World War II. On this Memorial Day I want to recognize the service and sacrifice of those men and many, many other men and women who served in all our nation's wars.
In addition, I hope you will pause today to remember those who serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, including their families. I think that President Bush and his advisers have grossly mismanaged these conflicts. And now we are entangled in a mess that will resolve only at great cost to American lives and Iraqi and Afghani lives. As a result many service people have been asked to make sacrifices in great disproportion to their stations in life. At the least we owe them our deepest thanks.
