A veteran listens as President Bush speaks during ceremonies honoring Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery Nov. 11, 2004. "Our veterans are drawn from several generations and many backgrounds. They're Americans who remember the swift conflict of the Persian Gulf War; and a long Cold War vigil; the heat of Vietnam and the bitter cold of Korea. They are veterans in their 80s, who served under MacArthur and Eisenhower and saved the liberty of the world," said the President. White House photo by Paul Morse
