Thank you. A welcome awaits you.

I wept as I listened to you reading the names of your 179 fallen comrades. May they rest in peace.

It is to the solder that we owe the right to free trial, not the lawyer; it is the soldier, not the journalist, who guarantees freedom of speech; and it is the soldier, who serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped in the flag, who gives us the right to protest and who even gives the right to protesters to burn that same flag.
