Over 3,000 years ago, Moses gave the people of Israel a message that has steeled our resolve ever since: "Be strong and courageous," he said. Today, our strong and courageous soldiers and people stand united to defend ourselves against those who seek our destruction. And in doing so, we defend many others, and we roll back a murderous tyranny. Generations from now, history will record that our generation stood its ground, acted in time, and secured our common future.
