As members of our military, you serve this nation's ideals and you demonstrate those ideals in your code and in your character. As Commander-in-Chief, I have come to know the men and women who wear America's uniform. I have seen your love of country and your devotion to a cause larger than yourself. I have seen your discipline, your idealism, and your sense of honor. I know that every order I give can bring a cost. I also know, without a doubt, that every order I give will be carried out with skill and unselfish courage. Some crucial hours may lie ahead. We know the challenges and the dangers we face. If this generation of Americans is ready, we accept the burden of leadership, we act in the cause of peace and freedom. And in that cause, we will prevail. Thank you for your service. May God bless you, may God bless your families, and may God bless America. 
President Bush's Action Principle has been written for the forthcoming Armed Services Tribute Edition of the Action Principles.
