We Have To Love Our Freedom, Not Just For The Private Opportunities It Provides, But For The Goodness It Makes Possible.

Our Enemies Didn't Adhere To The Geneva Convention. Many Of My Comrades Were Subjected To Very Cruel, Very Inhumane And Degrading Treatment, A Few Of Them Even Unto Death. But Every One Of Us - Every Single One Of Us - Knew And Took Great Strength From The Belief That We Were Different From Our Enemies, That We Were Better Than Them, That We, If The Roles Were Reversed, Would Not Disgrace Ourselves By Committing Or Countenancing Such Mistreatment Of Them.

We've Got To Start Also Holding People Accountable, And We've Got To Reward People Who Succeed. But Somehow In Washington Today - And I'm Afraid On Wall Street - Greed Is Rewarded, Excess Is Rewarded, And Corruption - Or Certainly Failure To Carry Out Our Responsibility Is Rewarded.

I Wrestled And Played Football In High School And In My Last Year, I Started As A Wrestler And Actually Had A Fairly Good Record. But I Hated To Lose. I Always Gave It Everything I Had Which, Unfortunately, Was Not As Much As I'd Hoped For. But Keep In Mind, I Feel Like I Got The Most Out Of My Ability. One Moment That Was Special Above All The Rest Was Winning My Last Bout At The Naval Academy To Finish The Entire Summer Undefeated. That Was Thrilling, But What's More, It Helped Me In Prison Because The First Time I Got Knocked Around By The Vietnamese, It Did Not Come As A Total Shock.
