General Kelly’s son who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. “Our country doesn't depend on the heroism of every citizen. But all of us should be worthy of the sacrifices made on our behalf. We have to love our freedom, not just for the private opportunities it provides, but for the goodness it makes possible. We have to love it as much, even if not as heroically, as the brave Americans like you who defend us at the risk and often the cost of their lives. We must love it enough to argue about it, and to work together to serve its interests, in whatever way our abilities permit and our conscience requires, whether it calls us to arms or to altruism or to politics. “If war has any glory, it is a hard pressed, bloody, and awful glory that no one who hasn’t experienced it can ever completely understand.   It is the glory of knowing you withstood the savagery and cruelty and madness of war to do your duty to the country that sent you there, and you were not found wanting by the comrades who stood next to you.  “Today, Americans are fighting in faraway places, like many of you here in Afghanistan, a place that most Americans will never see.  They suffer as you have suffered.  They are brave as you have been brave.  They, like you, will never be the same again.  You know the world we live in is an uncertain one.  It still holds dangers for us and for everyone for whom freedom is the habit of their heart.  Man’s inhumanity to man is an evil that will never be entirely extinct.  And no matter how long a peace endures, it is always temporary.  Americans will always be asked again to bear burdens that only the brave can endure.  That burden will be their duty, as it is yours now and likely will be again.  “History does not remember all of our brave veterans as individuals.  We don’t even know where they all rest.  But we must not forget what they have done.  Their honor is eternal and will live in our country for so long as she remains worthy of their sacrifice. Our veterans were family and friends to some, heroes to all – who lived, fought and died for the safety and future of a great and good nation. “God bless them.  May God grant them perpetual peace. And may all of you, who are serving in their hallowed footsteps, return home safe one day, with honor.” 2010-11-11T15:35:26+00:00 http://johnmccain.com/blog/post/election-day/ http://johnmccain.com/blog/post/election-day/#When:17:59:33Z Senator McCain dropped by his polling location to vote this morning.
