I'm sure I wasn't the only one extremely touched by the words President Bush quoted from Marine Staff Sergent Dan Clay, who was killed fighting for freedom in Fallujah.

"I know what honor is. It has been an honor to protect and serve all of you. I faced death with the secure knowledgethat you would not have to .............. never falter! Don't hesitate to honor and support those of us who have the honor of protecting that which is worth protecting"

Clay's wife and parents were then asked to stand and received a standinf ovation from all corners of the room.

I think the democrats were not amused and I'm sure they thought that Sgt. Clay and his family were dupes.

Just goes to show you--there are so many true heroes out there that we never hear about. God bless, keep and comfort this outstanding young man's family. God bless, protect and give victory to our troops.

You mean they lost a family member and didn't camp outside Bush's house?

Isn't this the guy that the MSM misquoted (small part taken out of context) in order to denigrate the WOT? I say, "Touche" you whining snivelers.

A very touching and emotional moment that is the epitome of patriotism.
