  The future of our Nation remains strong because these individuals 
have decided to step forward and commit themselves to the defense of 
our Nation and to uphold the ideals upon which it was founded. Indeed, 
these New Jerseyans represent the very best of America, and they should 
rest assured that the full support of the U.S. Senate, as well as the 
American people, are with them in whatever challenges may lie ahead.
  It is thanks to the dedication of untold numbers of patriots like 
these that we are able to meet here today, in the U.S. Senate, and 
openly debate the best solutions to the many and diverse problems that 
confront our country. It is thanks to their sacrifices that the United 
States of America remains a beacon of hope and freedom throughout the 
world. We owe them, along with all those who serve our country, a deep 
debt of gratitude.
