As Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney has been responsible for preserving America's defenses at a time of great change around the world. In the Persian Gulf, Secretary Cheney worked to bring together a formidable military coalition in response to Iraq's aggression against Kuwait and arranged for one of the largest overseas deployments of troops in American history. At home, he worked with Congress to ensure the broadest possible support for our actions in the Gulf. When war came, his superb leadership of all our armed forces helped speed the way to victory. The United States honors a vigilant defender of our Nation's interests and a firm friend of freedom. |
