Military & Armed Forces

We will never forget your sons and daughters who have died on our soil. They are now our sons and daughters.

Americans can directly relate to attacks on freedom of speech. They can directly relate to terrorism. And the impact in France is being compared to the impact of 9/11 in the United States. Boko Haram, by contrast, is viewed as a kind of civil war ... and it's all happening a very long way away.

[Tamir Rice’s sister] could not reach him. Her arms could not cradle his body and plead for him to hang on. Her hands could not stroke his cheek, and she could not whisper hopefully, ‘It’s going to be O.K.’ Her eyes could not gaze into his and say what sisters are able to say without saying anything: ‘I love you.

Two of New York's finest were shot and killed, with no warning, no provocation. They were, quite simply, assassinated -- targeted for their uniform.

Almost impossible to believe that Tom Coburn's last sentient act in the Senate is blocking a bipartisan veterans suicide bill. Sleep Well, Senator.

We forget these are criminals they're out there apprehending. [Mayor] De Blasio's out there on the front lines defending these criminals. But the people who are defending his own family, he's not out here for. And I find it disgraceful…As the leader of this city, he needs to show a little more support for the cops. They're the ones that are dying for us. Simple.

Anyone who's standing with us, we want you to not use Eric Garner's name for violence, because we are not about that. I'm standing here in sorrow about losing those two police officers.

Wrongful convictions are a slow, torturous process. It would be so much simpler to be choked out and die at the hands of a cop than to spend the rest of your life in hell based on the malicious acts of a cop.

The decision…to announce the [Ferguson] decision at 8:30 p.m. CT was foolish and dangerous. Here's the thing about that time of night: it's dark. Anyone – anyone! - should have known the decision in the Brown case would have been controversial. A decision not to indict, which was always possible, even likely, would have been sure to attract protests, even violence. Crowd control is always more difficult in the dark.

The time for remorse would have been when my husband was screaming to breath.

Whatever your views are on EITs (Enhanced Interrogation Techniques), our nation and in particular this agency did a lot of things right during this difficult time to keep this country strong and secure.

My son was 12 years old, just a baby, a baby, my baby, the youngest out of four…I want to thank the nation for supporting us. That’s the only way I’m standing today - that I’m standing right now.
