behalf of peace and freedom





George W. BushPresident George Bush used his Saturday weekly radio
address to focus on the sacrifices made by members of America's armed
services.

President Bush noted that this year is the 60th anniversary of the end
of World War II, a conflict that claimed more than 400,000 American
lives.

Mr. Bush said a new generation is now making its own sacrifice on
behalf of peace and freedom. He mentioned by name two American
soldiers killed in Iraq who had written to their loved ones that they
were committed to their mission.

This is Memorial Day weekend in the United States, a day of
remembrance for those who have died in service to the nation. The
holiday will be observed on Monday.
