Bodies of U.S. Victims Return From Libya 
-----------------------------------------


 
On Friday, the bodies of the four Americans killed in Libya were
returned to the United States at Andrews Air Force Base outside of
Washington, D.C. At a memorial service, President Obama paid tribute to
their lives and vowed to bring justice to their killers.

President Obama: "To you, their families and colleagues, to all
Americans, know this: Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. We will
bring to justice those who took them from us. We will stand fast against
the violence on our diplomatic missions. We will continue to do
everything in our power to continue to protect Americans serving
overseas, whether that means increasing security at our diplomatic
posts, working with host countries which have an obligation to provide
security, and making it clear that justice will come to those who harm
Americans."
