Our country doesn't depend on the heroism of every citizen. But all of us should be worthy of the sacrifices made on our behalf.
The majority of [the troops in Iraq] is that feel they're doing the right thing and their parents who have also made sacrifices, generally speaking, and their proud of the services of their sons and daughters.
Thanks to General Petraeus, our leadership and the sacrifice of brave young Americans. To deny that their sacrifice didn't make possible the success of the surge in Iraq, I think does a great disservice...the progress has been immense.
All interested parties must be willing to make significant sacrifices.
