“Supporting the troops means paying attention to their needs both in the field and at home. It means understanding their lives both as warriors fighting for our nation, and as husbands and wives, parents, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters struggling to take care of their families.”
Senator John Kerry
“All I care is that my family, and my loved ones, understand me. Or that they understand me to a degree-I don't understand me very much. And I don't need the world to understand me. That is the most egocentric thing.”
Andrea Corr
“The morale of our troops is key to a strong military. Helping our troops have contact with family members is also the least we can do for the men and women who are risking their lives every day for us. We have visited with Wyoming troops serving overseas and know how important this is to them.”
Mike Enzi
“We owe our troops the opportunity to serve in the best-planned, best-equipped, and best-led military force in the world, and we owe them the peace of mind that comes from knowing that they and their families will be taken care of if they sacrifice life, limb or the ability to sleep without war's nightmares. We owe them not just thanks and best wishes, but action, and action in our nation's capital.”
“In bygone days, commanders were taught that when in doubt, they should march their troops towards the sound of gunfire. I intend to march my troops towards the sound of gunfire.”
Joseph Grimond
“Our hearts are really saddened for her other troop members and the other families,”
Jessica Lynch
“Recently, it has been reported that U.S. troops are conducting military operations in Iran.”
