00:00.009 --> 00:02.231
I'm sorry for Scottsdale division P A O

00:02.231 --> 00:04.342
for the 101st Airborne Division , Air

00:04.342 --> 00:06.565
Soul . And tonight , we've been brought

00:06.565 --> 00:08.731
in by the La Potier family , Peter and

00:08.731 --> 00:10.509
Pauline . They've been humble ,

00:10.509 --> 00:12.453
distinguished guests . They're big

00:12.453 --> 00:14.620
influence here in the city of Canton .

00:14.620 --> 00:16.620
And it has been phenomenal for what

00:16.620 --> 00:18.842
they've done for us and them being able

00:18.842 --> 00:21.009
to house our service members and treat

00:21.009 --> 00:23.176
them like one of their own . So we are

00:23.176 --> 00:25.340
pulling and share and we are hosting

00:25.350 --> 00:28.600
four American soldiers for a dinner .

00:29.090 --> 00:32.759
So we are going to have a great time

00:32.770 --> 00:35.569
together and talk about our culture .

00:35.580 --> 00:38.509
And yeah , that's a great experience

00:38.520 --> 00:41.200
for us and for them , I believe we

00:41.209 --> 00:43.720
should continue this , this tradition

00:43.729 --> 00:45.930
because it carries on the uh the

00:45.939 --> 00:49.259
heritage of the airborne community and

00:49.659 --> 00:52.000
celebrating the victory of World War II ,

00:52.009 --> 00:54.380
not only just for the 101st , but you

00:54.389 --> 00:57.069
know , all of the , all the allies of

00:57.080 --> 00:59.191
the United States of America . And it

00:59.191 --> 01:02.029
literally truly began right here in

01:02.040 --> 01:05.730
Carton . It's important for us

01:05.739 --> 01:09.500
because it's a part of our history .

01:09.760 --> 01:12.730
So we know that American

01:12.739 --> 01:15.989
soldiers gave us freedom in

01:16.000 --> 01:19.309
Normandy and is one of the ,

01:20.750 --> 01:24.069
the main place of the D day .

01:24.430 --> 01:28.379
So we are very honored to have the

01:28.389 --> 01:31.410
American soldiers here at home on

01:31.419 --> 01:34.000
behalf of myself and the other soldiers

01:34.010 --> 01:36.232
that were here tonight . I would really

01:36.232 --> 01:38.288
like to thank Pierre and Pauline for

01:38.288 --> 01:40.232
their immense hospitality and just

01:40.232 --> 01:39.819
everything they have done for us

01:39.830 --> 01:42.440
tonight . I think it's significant in

01:42.449 --> 01:44.739
fostering relations moving forward and

01:44.750 --> 01:48.040
just building upon lineage and moving

01:48.050 --> 01:50.720
to secure our future , especially here

01:50.739 --> 01:52.795
with the citizens here in France and

01:52.795 --> 01:53.795
especially

01:57.019 --> 01:57.089
Hello .
