DoD News Briefing
Secretary Of Defense Donald Rumsfeld; and General Richard Myers, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
Tuesday, November 23, 2004 - 2:30 p.m. EST

            SEC. RUMSFELD: As our country prepares to celebrate Thanksgiving, we will take time to remember the truly outstanding men and women in uniform who continue to bring the hope of freedom to millions around the world.  We thank them.  We thank their families and their loved ones.  And we will particularly remember the families and loved ones of those who have given their lives in service to our country and those in hospitals, whether in Germany or here in the Washington area or elsewhere around our country, who are recovering from their wounds.  They will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

            GEN. MYERS:  Let me just add on to what the secretary just said.  I want to express the condolences of all the joint chiefs of staff to those who have been killed or wounded, to their families, their loved ones, their friends, over this entire global war on terrorism.  As the secretary said, they're doing what they do so we can live in this country, our friends and allies can live in peace and freedom.  So we owe them a real debt of gratitude, and we will remember them, especially as this holiday season progresses.
