Euche (yoo’-kay): A vow to keep a promise.
We must never forget the sacrifice these young men and women made. They are gone, and the promise they made to serve their country has been more than fulfilled. Let us remember their patriotism and their courage. We are grateful for what they endured and gave their lives for–we must never forget–they went into harm’s way on our behalf. So, in many different ways, we are all affected by their loss and offer our heartfelt condolences to their families, friends, and comrades.
And I swear before almighty God that I will do everything in my power to ensure that these good people did not die in vain. I will not let them down. This I promise to you: we will defeat the enemy. We will win this war. We will have peace.
