"...This evening, I want to speak directly to our men and women on the frontlines. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen: In the past year, you have done everything we have asked of you, and more. Our Nation is grateful for your courage. We are proud of your accomplishments." George W. Bush 2008 SOTUWhat about their first two, or maybe even, three tours, George? You were proud of them then, too, right?
What's with those four words? Read the line without using those words, 'In the past year', and answer the question; Why would you add them? Or not delete them?
