WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 -- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld bade farewell to Pentagon employees today in his familiar style, fencing with his questioners and voicing deep faith in the American people.
“Every day, in one way or another, I’ve seen the strength of men and women in uniform, and the dedication of the many thousands who serve here, military and civilian, who do their jobs knowing that theirs is the essential business of protecting a nation and protecting a people,” Mr. Rumsfeld said at what was probably his last meeting with Defense Department employees.
“You do so knowing that you contribute directly to the safety of millions of Americans — people you’ll never meet, whose names you’ll never know,” Mr. Rumsfeld said. “I leave office very proud to have served with you, inspired by your dedication, by your patriotism, and by your sacrifice.”
