It takes a measure of bravery and honor to make such a decision.

Jerome Wood was part of a generation of path-breakers in the study of Latin America who made it easier for me to do what I do today.

I was impressed by the students' questions and the appearance of interest in what I had to say.

Marseille's decision (to send the B team to Paris) is astounding and impossible to understand. Every possible measure has been taken to guarantee safety.

I'm surprised at that. He made a decision and I'll honor everybody's decision here. I'm not speaking badly about anybody through this whole thing and I'm not going to today.

It's a ceremony to honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion for the freedoms we enjoy today. They did not die in a combat situation, but they were members of the military and were eventually going to be deployed to a military situation.
