WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2004 –Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, accepted the Intrepid Foundation 2004 Freedom Award in New York City Feb. 11 on behalf of America's men and women in uniform.

The nation's service members "serve tirelessly and with great courage and great dedication," Myers said. "They're the ones out there doing the really hard work."

....Fighting terrorism requires the coordinated efforts of nearly every agency of the U.S. government – Defense, State, Homeland Security, Justice, Treasury and Commerce -- along with local, state and federal law enforcement, the chairman said.

"It's very, very wrong," Myers said, "to assume the efforts of the military (alone) can win this war. It's going to take all elements of our power and more than that."

The "more than that," he explained, are those in the civilian community who serve their nation by contributing to the nation's prosperity and through public service.
