Families are indispensable to a stable society, and they should be a
place of support to instill responsibility and values in the next
generation. When a family member is abused, it can have long-term

President Bush Attends Armed Forces Farewell Tribute in Honor of General Peter Pace and Armed Forces Hail in Honor of Admiral Michael Mullen
On Monday, President Bush said, “Today we pay tribute to an
outstanding Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and we welcome his
distinguished successor. Ceremonies like this are a storied military tradition. It is a time
when families, friends and comrades honor those who have fulfilled
great duties to their nation. It is a time when we show admiration to
those who step forward to assume new obligations. It’s a time when we
make generous use of words like “honor” and “character.” Sometimes

celebrate today, those words cannot be used too much.” -

President’s Radio Address to the Nation – September 29, 2007
In his weekly radio address President Bush said, “Today I am signing emergency legislation to fund the Federal government for the next seven weeks. This legislation was necessary because Congress failed in its most basic responsibility: to pass the spending bills that fund the day-to-day operations of the government. There are 12 of these bills this year, and Congress did not complete a single one of them, so Congress had to send me a stop-gap measure before the fiscal year ends this Sunday at midnight.”
