I am Sergeant Talla Corales . My unit

00:05.440 --> 00:07.989
Assault . I'm a soldier musician and I

00:08.000 --> 00:10.739
play the trumpet . Our role here for D

00:10.750 --> 00:13.250
Day is to provide musical support for

00:13.260 --> 00:15.482
the various missions that are occurring

00:16.218 --> 00:18.708
and to provide a present for our

00:18.718 --> 00:22.038
division within uh this whole event ,

00:22.208 --> 00:24.430
it's important for me to be involved in

00:24.430 --> 00:27.038
D DAY just because um you know ,

00:27.048 --> 00:30.799
reading about these events in history

00:31.100 --> 00:33.479
and actually being here and witness

00:33.490 --> 00:36.009
seeing , you know , where these battles

00:36.020 --> 00:38.779
took place and the sacrifice that these

00:38.790 --> 00:40.901
soldiers made . It's really important

00:40.901 --> 00:43.220
for me to be here . And um I appreciate

00:43.229 --> 00:45.490
the army for sending us here . It's

00:45.500 --> 00:47.240
important for us to be here as

00:47.250 --> 00:49.139
musicians because we provide that

00:49.139 --> 00:51.819
musical support . Um Of course , music

00:51.830 --> 00:53.997
is a universal language . So no matter

00:53.997 --> 00:57.110
what language you're speaking , um you

00:57.119 --> 00:59.341
can get your message across . So that's

00:59.341 --> 01:00.560
very important for us .
