Victory - Dedicated to Winning the War on Terror!
In President George W. Bush's words, "our Nation - this generation - will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."
"The rise of a free and
self-governing Iraq would deny terrorists a base of operation, discredit their
narrow ideology, and give momentum to reformers across the region. This would be
a decisive blow to terrorism at the heart of its power, and a victory for the
security of America and the civilized world."
George W. Bush

Star-Spangled
Banner:
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early
light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the
perilous fight'
For the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly
streaming.
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet
wave
For the land of the free and the home of the brave...
