Under one such marker lies a young man-Martin Treptow-who left his job in a small town barber shop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division. There, on the western front, he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire. We are told that on his body was found a diary. On the flyleaf under the heading, “My Pledge,” he had written these words: “America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.” The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow and so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best effort, and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds; to believe that together, with God's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. And, after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans. God bless you, and thank you.
As we look back to that tragic day eight years ago we take pride in the fact that we came together as a nation in the days, months and years that followed. We rose to the challenge that fateful day and we still can. And why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans.
I thank all our servicemen and women, in and out of uniform, for keeping us safe over the last eight years in the face of enormous odds.
Please thank a veteran today. They certainly do not look for those thanks, but they have more than earned it.

Thank you, Sarah.
NUFF SAID.
Her comments are solid, as always.
I love Sarah Palin
Is it 2012 yet?
Gopd bless them all. Mr. Preaident, bring them home!
Sarah Palin, I hear you, most of America’s patriots hear you..... and soon, every democrat, progressive, liberal and politician is going to hear from all of us.
Palin 2012...... There is no ‘try’, there is only ‘do’. On this, failure is not an option.
This wonderful woman continues to be an inspiration. Many thanks to her and to all the great people in service to our country.
Thank you, Gov. Palin, for again providing the American people, and the political party whose leaders seek to spurn and minimize you, with straight talk based upon our founding principles.
You have quickly become a leading and respected voice on the vital issue of health care reform. Further, as you show yourself worthy of our attention and respect, it becomes increasingly apparent how many in the so-called “GOP leadership” (an oxymoron if there ever was one) are unworthy of either.
May God bless you and your family. May He comfort all who suffered on 9-11. May God bless the United States of America.
I thank a veteran every time I see one, Governor.
“We are Americans” ... is that a cheap shot at the Kenyan in the Oval office?
