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.
