(22 Jun 1999) English/Nat • • After a day of visiting ethnic Albanian refugees in Macedonia, President Bill Clinton paid tribute to U-S troops for their role in the NATO bombing campaign of Yugoslavia. • • Addressing U-S forces at Aviano air base in Italy, he warned them their new mission to enforce peace in Kosovo would not be free of danger. • • Clinton has now ended his trip to Europe. • • After strong words of encouragement for ethnic Albanian refugees in Macedonia, President Clinton arrived at Aviano air base to thank U-S airforce men and women. • • He told them they had won the battle over Kosovo and they had helped to build a better world for their children. • • SOUNDBITE: (English) • I want you to know that I am absolutely certain that you are building a better world for your children. And they will come to know that. If not now then some day they will come to understand what their fathers and their mothers who wore our uniform have done in the last year of the 20th century to save the people of Kosovo, to defeat ethnic cleansing, to start the new millennium in the right way as a time of human right and human dignity and allied confidence that together we can build a future worthy of our dreams for our children. You have done that. I want you to know that your children will know it. • SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, President of the United States of America • • But there was also a warning for the struggles they will face now as NATO soldiers turn into peacemakers in Kosovo. • • SOUNDBITE: (English) • We have to win the peace with the same qualities with which you won the conflict. With determination and patience, with discipline and precision. We learned yesterday again that this too is a dangerous mission. As we mourn the loss of two British soldiers who gave their lives trying to clear mines out of a house where they were placed solely to kill the returning refugees. • SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, President of the United States of America • • The President said he had never delivered a more important message of thanks than the one to his troops on Tuesday. • • He's now ended a week-long trip to Europe that has been dominated by Kosovo. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
