00:00.009 --> 00:02.220
I'm Specialist Jona Tram and I'm with

00:02.230 --> 00:04.429
the 101st Airborne Division . My

00:04.440 --> 00:06.380
favorite part of the ceremony was

00:06.389 --> 00:08.500
probably putting the wreath up by the

00:08.500 --> 00:10.770
memorial . I felt very honored to do

00:10.779 --> 00:12.779
that and especially with a one star

00:12.779 --> 00:14.779
general . So that was definitely my

00:14.779 --> 00:16.723
favorite . I think keeping history

00:16.723 --> 00:18.446
alive is extremely important ,

00:18.446 --> 00:20.557
especially for younger generations to

00:20.557 --> 00:22.723
come into the military as well . And I

00:22.723 --> 00:24.890
think being here just has come to show

00:24.890 --> 00:26.946
me the like the intense history that

00:26.946 --> 00:29.000
there is and it puts it more into

00:29.010 --> 00:32.150
perspective if I had the chance to meet

00:32.159 --> 00:35.189
any World War Two veterans and those

00:35.200 --> 00:37.311
that have passed , I would definitely

00:37.311 --> 00:39.422
just say thank you to them . They are

00:39.422 --> 00:41.644
the reason that I'm here today and they

00:41.644 --> 00:43.869
are an extremely vital part of history

00:43.880 --> 00:46.639
and I don't think anyone could begin to

00:46.939 --> 00:48.759
thank them enough for what they've done .
