Our citizens live in freedom because patriots are willing to serve and sacrifice for our liberty. And on Monday, I will lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, a victory for freedom in which more than 400,000 Americans gave their lives. Today a new generation of Americans is making its own sacrifice on behalf of peace and freedom, and some have given their lives.

In his weekly radio address, President Bush said, “We will continue to support democratic change throughout the world, including in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the broader Middle East. And we will do whatever it takes to support our men and women in uniform and give them the tools they need to prevail.”

In his weekly radio address, President Bush said, “I’m pleased to report that we see new signs that the pro-growth policies we have pursued during the past four years are having a positive effect on our economy. …These positive signs are a tribute to the effort and enterprise of America’s workers and entrepreneurs. But we have more to do.”

In his weekly radio address, President Bush said, “All of us understand that the advance of freedom is the concentrated work of generations — from the brave Americans who fought against Nazi Germany sixty years ago to those who struggle for liberty today. And by working together, we will ensure that the promise of liberty and democracy won on V-E Day will one day reach every person and every nation in the 21st century.”
