President Bush paid tribute to America's military forces Saturday, saying that Independence Day is an occasion for the nation to express thanks by flying the flag, sending letters to troops and reaching out to their families.
"At posts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world, our men and women in uniform are taking the fight to the terrorists overseas, so that we do not have to face the terrorists here at home," Bush said in his weekly radio address.
He said U.S. forces have freed millions of people from oppression, in keeping with the principle of the Declaration of Independence "that all are created equal and all are meant to be free.
"Those who serve today are taking their rightful place among the greatest generations that have worn our nation's uniform," the president said.
He will celebrate July Fourth with a visit to Morgantown, W.Va.
"In this time of testing, all our troops and their families can know that the American people are behind them," Bush said. "On this Fourth of July weekend, I ask every American to find a way to thank men and women defending our freedom — by flying the flag, sending letters to our troops in the field, and helping the military family down the street."
He said other methods of tribute are outlined on a Pentagon Web site, .
