We will fight anyone who wishes to impose a totalitarian system upon a free society, and we will always prevail.

John F. Kerry
Thank you very much for contacting me to express your support for the actions of President Bush in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

John F. Kerry
President Obama has made it his mission that we welcome our troops home with care, and concern, and the respect they deserve. That is how an exceptional nation says thank you to its most exceptional men and women.
