00:00.200 --> 00:03.480
I'm Lieutenant Colonel T Nelson . I'm

00:03.480 --> 00:06.639
the chief of the liaison detachment of

00:06.639 --> 00:09.449
the Bundeswehr Logistics Command . At

00:09.449 --> 00:11.920
the 21st Theater Sustainment Command

00:11.920 --> 00:14.210
and what we are here for is the day of

00:14.210 --> 00:16.377
the German armed forces . Of course it

00:16.377 --> 00:19.010
is very important that we have our

00:19.010 --> 00:21.209
allies here , in particular our

00:21.209 --> 00:23.930
American allies , since we stand here

00:23.930 --> 00:26.239
for our common defense . This is what

00:26.649 --> 00:29.209
the German armed forces are there , and

00:29.209 --> 00:31.760
we do it always within the alliance ,

00:32.049 --> 00:36.049
so side by side with our allies to be

00:36.049 --> 00:38.854
here at this event . Like today and

00:38.854 --> 00:41.076
being able to wear this uniform means I

00:41.076 --> 00:43.298
get to show up , be professional , also

00:43.298 --> 00:45.410
be myself , showing how proud I am to

00:45.410 --> 00:47.465
be a part of the US Army , what I do

00:47.465 --> 00:49.576
and not only what I do , but when I'm

00:49.576 --> 00:51.687
able to teach the next person in case

00:51.687 --> 00:53.743
they want to follow my steps or even

00:53.743 --> 00:56.021
just want to know about what I'm doing .

00:56.021 --> 00:58.243
The contribution of 21 so that also the

00:58.243 --> 01:00.854
German public gets the notion of we are

01:00.854 --> 01:03.615
alliance . We stand here together and

01:03.615 --> 01:04.455
we fight together .
