THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 7, 2007
I send greetings to those celebrating the 90th anniversary of the 3rd Infantry Division of the United States Army.
Since the founding of our republic, every generation of Americans has produced proud patriots willing to sacrifice for the liberty and security of our Nation. These heroes have demonstrated that freedom is the mightiest force on Earth and set a standard of idealism and courage for the world. Since World War I, the "Rock of the Marne" has defended the United States in times of need and established a lasting heritage of service to our country. From the banks of the Marne to the Tigris River, the 3rd Infantry Division has proudly upheld the noble tradition of duty, honor, and love of country. All of us who live in liberty live in their debt, and we will never forget their sacrifice.
On behalf of a grateful Nation, I thank all members of the 3rd Infantry Division, both past and present , for protecting our citizens and laying a foundation of peace for generations to come. This event is an opportunity to renew the strong bonds of friendship you forged in adversity and celebrate the proud history and achievements of the "Dog Face Soldiers." Your continued commitment to each other and our country is an inspiration.
Laura and I send our best wishes on this special occasion. May God bless you, may God bless our troops, and may God bless America.
George W. Bush
