Mr Speaker, Mr Vice President, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans, last month I went to Andrews Air Force Base and welcomed home some of our last troops to serve in Iraq.

We gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the United States safer and more respected around the world. β¨ Third Presidential State of the Union Address, delivered 24 January 2012, Washington, D.C.
