Our nation also honors the men and women whoโve been injured in the line of duty. I met some of these Americans. This Saturday, Iโll be going to Bethesda to meet more. Many face a hard road ahead. Theyโve inspired their comrades with their strength of will. General Sattler recently visited with some of the wounded in the Fallujah campaign. One Marine was pretty beat up, but when he saw the General, he lifted his hand and said, โSir, Iโve still got my trigger finger. I can get back out there.โ That is the spirit of the Corps. And America will show the same sense of duty.
