Today President Bush, accompanied by First Lady, Laura Bush and Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, gave a powerful and emotional speech to an all military audience consisting of sailors and World War II veterans at the Coronado Naval Air Station in San Diego in honor of the 60th Anniversary of Victory in Japan Day, drawing comparisons between World War II, and the battle we now face against terrorism, saying we need the same resolve now to defeat the enemy as we had then, and congratulating the troops on their service. He also spoke to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, voicing his sympathy and support.
He will be coming back to the White House tomorrow, cutting his working vacation at his Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas, so that he can oversee the massive rescue and relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
He will also meet with Cabinet members to discuss the possibility of opening the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves due to the stress on the oil market because of the hurricane in the Gulf. He will go to the hurricane stricken region as soon as it will not interfere with rescue efforts there.

Quote of the Day: Today we must not forget the lessons of the past, and the lesson of this experience is clear: The most powerful weapon in the arsenal of democracy is the spirit of liberty. In the 20th century, the spirit of liberty worked to spread freedom from Japan and Germany to Eastern Europe and Latin America and Southeast Asia and Africa. And the spirit of liberty is at work today. Across the broader Middle East, we can see freedom's power to transform nations and deliver hope to people who have not known it. In Afghanistan and Iraq and Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories, people have gone to the polls and chosen their leaders in free elections. Their example is inspiring millions across that region to claim their liberty, as well -- and they will have it. (Applause.)
In Iraq, people have come together to write a constitution that guarantees freedom for all Iraqi citizens. The document they have produced protects fundamental human freedoms, including freedom for women, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of conscience, and freedom of expression. This constitution is the result of democratic debate and compromise, and the Iraqi citizens can be proud of what they have accomplished. (Applause.)
As freedom advances across a troubled part of the world, it is once again opposed by fanatical adherence of a murderous ideology. And once again, the stakes are high. Now, as then, our enemies have made their fight a test of American credibility and resolve. Now, as then, they are trying to intimidate free people and break our will. And now, as then, they will fail. (Applause.)
With World War II Veteran, Robert Wakefield......

Indeed. The constant rain of the remnants of Katrina overhead here today have given a somber reminder of what has been endured by the good people of the Gulf Coast.
May God comfort and protect them!
