WEBVTT 00:00.009 --> 00:02.410 Command , our major Ken Riley from 10th 00:02.420 --> 00:04.642 army Air Missile Defense command on the 00:04.642 --> 00:07.239 division CS M . So I , I was really 00:07.250 --> 00:10.479 just overcome with a lot of emotion and 00:10.489 --> 00:13.470 just really humbled to really just be 00:13.479 --> 00:15.479 standing on the shoulders of people 00:15.479 --> 00:17.701 that came before us . Uh what they went 00:17.701 --> 00:19.757 through and the sacrifices that they 00:19.757 --> 00:22.090 made . It really is awe inspiring . I'm , 00:22.090 --> 00:23.979 I'm kind of at a loss for words , 00:23.979 --> 00:26.146 people who have sacrificed so much and 00:26.146 --> 00:28.540 kind of set the example for all of us 00:28.549 --> 00:30.438 that came afterwards . I'm pretty 00:30.438 --> 00:32.382 honored uh as a leader to have the 00:32.382 --> 00:34.549 opportunity to be here and think about 00:34.549 --> 00:36.827 what they did , what they went through , 00:36.827 --> 00:39.869 what they saw , what they felt and kind 00:39.880 --> 00:42.102 of apply that to myself in our own unit 00:42.102 --> 00:43.936 and see what can we do to make a 00:43.936 --> 00:46.158 difference ? The first thing that comes 00:46.158 --> 00:48.213 to mind is just a uniter of people , 00:48.213 --> 00:50.436 right ? The the this guy who built this 00:50.436 --> 00:53.009 giant coalition of so many nations and 00:53.020 --> 00:55.490 so many personalities and so many egos 00:55.700 --> 00:57.644 and made them all push in the same 00:57.644 --> 00:59.756 direction to , to launch the greatest 00:59.756 --> 01:01.867 invasion , most successful invasion , 01:01.867 --> 01:04.033 the world's ever known . It's a pretty 01:04.033 --> 01:06.089 special individual who could do that 01:06.089 --> 01:08.200 and , and get us all , uh , rowing in 01:08.200 --> 01:10.169 the same direction to victory . I 01:10.180 --> 01:12.291 appreciate it . I , I think I'll come 01:12.291 --> 01:14.236 back around to the same theme just 01:14.236 --> 01:16.236 walking the path of those that came 01:16.236 --> 01:18.458 before me standing on their shoulders . 01:18.458 --> 01:20.569 I'd like to thank them , the veterans 01:20.569 --> 01:22.569 that were before us and the example 01:22.569 --> 01:22.290 that they've set and I think if we kind 01:22.300 --> 01:24.467 of look to them , uh , they could be a 01:24.467 --> 01:26.633 great , great , uh example to follow . 01:26.633 --> 01:28.919 Not only for myself but for the entire 01:28.930 --> 01:30.050 10 a.m. DC .
