And as a Nation, we reaffirm a most sacred obligation: that wemust never forget the men and women who did not come home, and that wemust never stop trying to return them to their families and the country they fought to protect.
And we need a president who understands the lessons of Sept. 11, 2001: that to protect America, wemust stay on the offense, stop attacks before they happen and not wait to be hit again.
