WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush sent a letter recognizing several credit unions that were active in Operation Best Wishes, a program that helped military families send messages to their family members on active duty via Webcast.

"Across generations, Americans are bound by the cause of freedom. We are committed to advancing the promise of freedom in our country, renewing the values that sustain our liberty, and spreading the peace that freedom brings," the president's letter read.

"Today the volunteers of our military are completing difficult missions in some of the most dangerous and desolate parts of the world with skill and honor. We are grateful to our men and women in uniform and their families for their courage and sacrifice during these historic times. Their service and dedication make every American proud."
