And so we honor you today -- whether you're in this room or around the United States of America. We thank you for your sacrifices. We thank you for supporting our Armed Forces. And we ask for God's blessings on you and your family.

And now I ask Lieutenant Colonel Floyd, to please read the citations.

(The citations are read.) (Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all for coming. I wish Laura were here to have been able to greet you. She would be just as impressed as I am today by the wonderful stories and the great compassion of our recipients who, I know if they had to give a speech, would say they just -- they're just doing what they love to do, and they represent thousands who are doing the same thing.

We're honored that you've -- that you've joined us. May God bless you all. Thank you. (Applause.)

END 3:16 P.M. EDT
