Please help President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

Which example would best support the president’s claim in this excerpt?

A. Personal reflections on the meaning of war and peace throughout history
B. Biographical information on historic and modern-day war heroes
C. Images of suffering children around the world and especially in Iraq and Afghanistan
D. Quotations from interviews with the families of the service members on the USS Lincoln
