"The folks who are serving out there are doing an absolutely superb job," Rumsfeld said of U.S. troops fighting the war on terror. "There is no question that they understand the importance of this struggle that they are in.

"It is truly historic what's taking place" in that struggle, the secretary said, noting that today's troops will some day look back on what they've accomplished and recognize the significance of their contributions.

"Each of you, just as the soldiers, sailors and airmen and Marines are part of that battle and struggle, each of you is participating as well," the secretary told the group. "You are a part of that history.

"I want you to know how much we appreciate each of you for what you are doing," Rumsfeld said.

"I hope you will continue to encourage your friends and neighbors and other organizations to tune in to Americasupportsyou.mil," he said, "and find out what you are doing and what other people are doing to help make us a better country and a better world and a safer world for the American people."

Army Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former commander of the 4th Infantry Division in Iraq, emphasized the importance of public support to the military.

"We do not have a morale problem in Iraq," Odierno said, calling the troops "extremely motivated" because they believe in the mission and their country.
