You are about to begin a momentous task: the liberation of Iraq.You have worked very hard preparing for this moment. You are ready. For some of you, this is a culmination of years, decades perhaps, of training. For others, this is your first exposure to the frightening reality of armed conflict. n any case, you will be called upon for sacrifice, for strenuous labor, for gut-wrenching, split-second decisions. You will make the right call. You will find a reservoir of strength and wisdom. I know you will because you have been schooled in the traditions of our glorious service, our United States Navy. … It is time for us to go to work. Do so aggressively, intelligently, with audacity and courage. Go fully confident in the knowledge that you have earned the support of your countrymen and of millions of freedom-loving people around the world. Admiral Timothy Keating

It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and our factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we are sick – professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers. They are, in short, ‘We the people,’ this breed called Americans. Ronald Reagan

Everyone craves freedom and prosperity. A growing body of evidence shows that, for nations, the two are linked. The most prosperous nations are the most free, a number of recent studies show.
