QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Bush Presents the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy to the United States Naval Academy Football Team
Rose Garden
THE PRESIDENT:
When you signed up for the Naval Academy, you signed up for more than playing football. I'm glad Coach Johnson -- I'm sure Coach Johnson was glad that you said, I want to be a football player at the Naval Academy. But you signed up to become officers in the finest military the world has ever known. And my job is to keep it that way, and I will. But you can't have the finest military the world has ever known without men and women who volunteer to wear the uniform, just like you've done.
You volunteered after September the 11th, 2001. That's a remarkable decision you have made. I vowed after September 11, 2001, that I would use the full power of our government to protect the American people from harm. And I meant what I said. And, therefore, anybody who signed up afterwards knew what they were getting into. It's a remarkable country when people make such a noble decision to serve their country in a time of war. And I'm proud to be the Commander-in-Chief of such decent, honorable, sacrificing men and women.
The lessons you have learned on the football field and at the Naval Academy will serve you well on the battlefield. You learned the importance of teamwork and leadership and strong, personal character. And you're going to put those qualities to the highest possible use, and that is to protect the American people and to lay the foundation of peace for generations to come.
