President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.
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.

Answer:
Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.
In this speech, President George W. Bush is welcoming the troops that were fighting al-Qaida and are now returning home. He gives them a brief summary of the war, and of America's position in it. He also tells them he understands that their main purpose is to eventually come home. Finally, he lets the troops know that their service is appreciated by telling them that their families are proud of them and their nation welcomes them.
"This ceremony, will it be over soon? I'm hungry..."
Juliek says this as they are watching a young man be hanged. It shows that callousness (or harshness) that life in the concentration camp is creating because while a man is being hanged, all Juliek can think of is hunger. He is wishing for the "ceremony" to be over soon, and yet, for it to be over, a man must hanged. The lack of compassion, or even respect, for the person being hanged is surprising as Juliek has seemed to be one of compassion in all his encounters with Wiesel so far.
