On the occasion of our birthday, I want to honor the generations of patriots who have given their lives, including the more than 430 Guard members killed since the global war on terror began. I also want to thank the Guardsmen who have served in the past, and the more than 450,000 citizen-Soldiers and Airmen serving today, for their dedication and sacrifice. A final thanks goes to the families, employers and governors of our Guard members.
