I extend my deepest gratitude to our Armed Forces and first responders serving both at home and abroad in the war against terrorism.

America's Veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world.

The other thing I like, in fact, several months ago I introduced a bill to end the absurd catch and release policy where our government has been giving tickets, essentially, to people who enter illegally and then letting them go and show up of their own volition.

This war is being played in the realm of public opinion and has dire consequences for our soldiers in Iraq, the future of our country, and freedom around the world.
