ORLANDO, Fla. -- President Barack Obama visited Florida on Monday to address members of the military in Jacksonville.
Air Force One landed in Jacksonville shortly before 3 p.m. Obama began his speech by remembering 14 Americans killed Monday in helicopter crashes in Afghanistan, saying "they gave their lives to protect ours."
Obama said the dead Americans, which included three federal drug enforcement agents, were willing to risk their lives to keep Afghanistan from again becoming a safe haven for al-Qaida and extremist allies.
