Yesterday Congressman Pence addressed troops at Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh, Indiana on the anniversary of 9-11.
WISH-TV has this video of the Congressman's speech available on its website.
Here is an excerpt from an article in The Republic:
Pence praised soldiers for enlisting, even though they had to know the danger of a post-9/11 world.
He compared their sacrifice to those given on Flight 93, the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers tried to take back control from terrorists.
"It is not in you to stand on the sidelines and do nothing," he said.
"You have seized your fear by the throats."
Pence assured the crowd the U.S. and its allies are winning the war.
He said he could see resolve in soldiers' faces that assured him they would not fail.
He said a debt is owed to the soldiers and their families, who sacrifice their lives together so other families can live in freedom.
"You do not go alone," he said.
