From Snopes.com a fitting speach given by James Bradley, the son of one of the men immortalized on the Iwo Jima Memorial. He is also the author of the book, "Flags of Our Fathers". It's worth the read.

I would like to offer my personal thanks to all who have or are serving in our military for protecting the rights set forth in the Constitution of the United States; for the privledge of a good night's sleep; for the opportunity to see my children and grandchildren grow in happiness with the vision of a tomorrow which holds hope and dreams. I could continue but it's getting a bit hard to see the screen and I fear that my thanks is insufficient to the measure of duty given by you, our veterans.
God bless you all,
Chiz
