away where you would become all too familiar with the mountains of the hindu kush and streets of fallujahughout the last 11 years guardsmen and women have helped keep us safe from attack, and the nation owes you a great debt of gratitude. i wish i could say the world is less dangerous now and less chaotic. i wish i could predict with certainty the threats we'll face in the years ahead. on september 10th, 2001, we had no idea that america would be at war in afghanistan someday. in december of 2010 we had no idea that a tunisian street vendor would inspire a revolution that would topple three dictators. we live in a time of turbulence and disruption. what i can say with certainty is that we need the national guard's vigilance and strength now as much as ever before. with less than two months to go before election day, i would normally speak to a gathering like this about the differences between my and my opponent's plans for military and for our national security. there is a time and place for that, but this day is not that. it is instead a day to express gratitude to the men and women who

we've got 12 riders and, four support crew, including one of our medics that we actually served in fallujah doc worley, who has been an unbelievable guy. so we've got a great team and we're breaking down the miles and getting it done together. jon: you started this thing a few years ago, i know riding from the iwo jima memorial in virginia all the way to ground zero in new york city. that is a couple of hundred miles. what made you decide to take this thing across-country? >> you know the challenge of it, really. we've been talking about just stepping it up and seeing if we could do it and, you know, i served with a lot of these guys with me here today. it is great to be able to do this together and, be able to honor our bud i dids that never came home and try to help take care of their families that are still here. jon: i was honored last year to ride with you the last 20 miles or so of your trip all the way, across the george washington bridge to ground zero but i know there is awful lot of emotion that you guys are up and able-bodied and still able to do something like this when you have

some took their last steps outside of fallujah.ir uniform for the last time before they went out and saved their unit. men and women who used to take care of themselves, they now count on others to see them through the day. they need their mother to tie their shoe, their husband to brush their hair, their wife's arm to help them across the room. the stars and stripes wave for them. the word "hero" was made for them. they are the best and the bravest. and they will never be left behind. [cheers and applause] [chanting "u.s.a.!" ] you understand that. and they deserve a president who understands that on the most personal level what they've gone through, what they've given and what they've given up for their country. to us, the real test of patriotism is how we treat the men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect our values. [cheers and applause] and let me tell you, the 26 million veterans in this country will not have to wonder when we're in office whether they'll have health care next week or next year. we will t
