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.

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.
The theme of the story between psyche and cupid is that you should not let other people weaken your confidence in the one you love and who loves you back.
This is because, summing up the story, although it was the most beautiful of the three sisters, Psyche was the only one yet to be married, and her parents began to suspect that her daughter's beauty could have infuriated the gods. Thus, they decide to consult the oracle of Apollo and receive the news that the girl would not marry a human, but rather with a species of terrible dragon that lived on the top of a mountain.
The poor girl, accepting her fate, dresses in funeral clothes and decides to meet the creature. Psyche ends up going into a completely dark room and giving himself over to the monster. In time, the girl begins to enjoy encounters with the supposed dragon, but he forbids her from using any source of light and makes her promise that she will never try to see him.
And things between the two work wonders - until the sisters of Psyche appear for a little visit and, feeling jealous of how the girl lived, convince the young woman that she should finish the romance with the monster, find out his true identity and kill him. So one night, while the creature slept, Psyche, armed with a dagger, decides to light a lamp and discovers that, in fact, her husband is Cupid. Surprised to realize that instead of being married to a horrendous being, her companion was one of the most beautiful creatures Psyche had ever seen, she walks away and ends up wounding herself with one of Cupid's arrows and falling madly in love with him. Then she accidentally knocks some of the hot oil from the lamp on the winged boy and he flees flying.
