Governors visit troops overseas......

"They believe they are doing something important," Daniels said. "And so I simply will report on their behalf that they think this is a noble thing they're doing and are very proud of the contribution they're making-... to the security of our country and their loved ones at home ... (and) to the establishment of freedom in two lands that have been denied it for so long."

"Their spirits are high; they're committed to the safety and freedom that every American enjoys and should enjoy -- and hopefully (will) make the rest of the world free," Manchin said. "They're committed to getting the job done and they're working very hard. They're a dedicated group of people. And it was so good to see them being in such high spirits."
