My grandmother used to ordsprog

My grandmother used to go with her church to visit the soldiers at Walter Reed. But she had to stop. Couldn't take it anymore. She was a nurse at Georgetown University Hospital for 30 years, and she had seen a lot. But seeing all of those boys coming back from Iraq -- hundreds of them, 19-, 20-, 21-year-olds -- all torn apart like that, it just broke her heart.

I see it everywhere I go, ... I see it when I visit military bases, when I visit Walter Reed [Army Medical Center] or Bethesda Naval Hospital with the president.

Laura Bush (1946-)

If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS / And all the broke (people) passed away. / You're telling me if my grandmother is in the NBA / right now she'd be OK, / but since she was just a secretary working for the church for 35 years, things gotta stop right here.

I read something in the news [two years ago] about the lack of body armor available [to soldiers in Iraq]. I knew the American people knew very little about this, [but] I felt that if the American people did know, they would be very alarmed. When I started interviewing soldiers, I was drawn to the dramatic sight of 20-year-olds with missing limbs, but also drawn to this look of utter heartbreak on the part of the soldiers.

I went to the final World Series game in 1979 with my grandmother and froze my butt off while Willie Stargell and the boys broke my heart.

John McCain ought to visit our young men and women at Walter Reed and Bethesda. There is sacrifice in this country.

I had a great week -- a very inspiring one. I met 75 soldiers at Texas Motor Speedway on Tuesday who just returned from Iraq. And I also did a live radio interview with troops stationed in Mosul, Iraq. Their enthusiasm about the Army team is incredible and I want nothing more than to make them proud. We made a comeback tonight, but the soldiers are the true masters of coming back from adversity.

Even as early as the 1920s, the president's family was coming to Walter Reed.

I'm obviously disappointed with the university's decision, but I understand it was made in the best interest of the university. I continue to feel very good about the players coming back next year. I think Southeast will be at the top of the OVC over the next couple of years.

They must have been showing a lot of his films in Iraq. We got a lot of mail from the soldiers over there. They'd ask for a picture and we'd send them and write back to the boys. He felt very good about it. His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure.

Thank God for both our grandmothers, the Hollands' grandmother was very seminal, and mine was the head of the choir at my church, ... I had to be at church on Thursday, Saturday and Sundays rehearsing. I couldn't do anything else until I got that business taken care of.

Lamont Dozier (1941-)

Taking Big Bird away from our five year olds, lunch money away from our ten year olds, job training programs away from our fifteen year olds, and college loans away from our twenty year olds is a disgrace.

John Murray (1841-)

Hundreds of juveniles, from a minimum age of 12 have been detained. The number of 12 to 14 year olds is very small, but in the 14 to 18 bracket as far as I know we're talking about hundreds.

Det är omöjligt att upprätthålla cilivisation med 12-åringar som får bebisar, 15-åringar som mördar varandra, 17-åringar som dör i AIDS och 18-åringar som får diplom som de inte kan läsa.

It is impossible to maintain civilization with 12-year-olds having babies, with 15-year-olds killing each other, with 17-year-olds dying of AIDS and with 18-year-olds getting diplomas they can't read

We have opened a hospital that was abandoned since the genocide 10 years ago and put some hundreds of patients on anti-retroviral therapy, for example, in the middle of rural Africa. We have also, needless to say, focused on whatever it is that ails the people who are coming to this hospital and the clinic sites around. And, that is everything from distress during labor, to malaria, of course to other projects. We do not have any doubt that this project will be a great success.
