    Remarks Following a Meeting With Military Service Organizations
    February 28, 2007

        One of the most enjoyable things I do as the President is to hear
    stories of my fellow citizens, stories of compassion, stories of care. I
    just talked to social entrepreneurs who have decided to help improve the
    lives of our service men and women and their families. There are some
    remarkable acts of kindness by people who have taken it upon themselves
    to serve their country by helping a neighbor in need. And whether it be
    helping the chaplains help kids, or whether it be helping a family of
    the injured, whether it be working at Walter Reed, or supporting troops
    getting ready to go into combat, these good men and women really
    represent the very best of America.
        I ask my fellow citizens to support our troops and their families.
    There are all kinds of ways you can find out how to do so.
    AmericaSupportsYou.mil, for example, is a web site that if you really do
    want to participate like these citizens have, that you can find out a
    way to contribute your time, your money, your talents to really send a
    message that America supports these brave volunteers who are out
    defending our country in the war on terror.
        And so I thank you all for joining us. It's been my great pleasure
    to hear from you. I'm proud to be the President of a country with so
    many decent citizens. Thank you.

    Note: The President spoke at 2:12 p.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the
    White House.
