Wes Clark Radio Address transcript

[Clark2008]

Up on WESPac site: http://www.securingamerica.com/

Good morning, I’m Wesley Clark. This weekend across the country, we take time to remember those who fought and died in our Nation’s wars to keep America free.

On Memorial Day this Monday, I will remember those in uniform who served in World War II and inspired me to enter military service in 1962.

Like others of my generation, I will walk by the Veterans Memorial in downtown Little Rock and I will remember the names of friends and school mates who fought alongside me. They selflessly gave up their freedom to fight for the freedom of others.

Today, America continues to faces a national security challenge. As Democrats, we are resolved to meet that challenge and defend America from danger.

Meeting that challenge starts with making sure that our men and women in the armed forces are equipped to be the most effective fighting force in the world. In every way possible, we need to support them and make sure they get the tools and training they need to do their dangerous job as safely and effectively as possible.

1. A link's also up on CNN

Duty, honor, country.

Thank you, General Clark!

2. The Republicans have assumed for a long time

that their patriotic rhetoric was all that was needed to keep a lock on the military families vote. Those days are over. I am glad Democrats are calling them out on their hypocrisy.
