54:59.689 --> 55:01.856
stripes proudly both on our uniform at

55:01.856 --> 55:03.856
home . And while deployed , the red

55:03.856 --> 55:05.689
color in the flag symbolizes the

55:05.689 --> 55:07.800
hardiness and valor which each of you

55:07.800 --> 55:10.022
has personified as a soldier and leader

55:10.022 --> 55:11.856
in our army operating in austere

55:11.856 --> 55:13.911
conditions with limited resources to

55:13.911 --> 55:16.469
accomplish difficult missions . The

55:16.479 --> 55:18.570
white color refers to p purity and

55:18.580 --> 55:20.524
innocence which you have sought to

55:20.524 --> 55:23.750
protect both at home and abroad . And

55:23.760 --> 55:25.427
the blue color represents the

55:25.427 --> 55:27.482
perseverance , vigilance and justice

55:27.620 --> 55:29.731
which each of you has demonstrated in

55:29.731 --> 55:31.898
the conduct of your duties as officers

55:31.898 --> 55:33.953
and non commissioned officers . I am

55:33.953 --> 55:36.176
sure the flag holds special meaning for

55:36.176 --> 55:38.231
each of you as it should giving your

55:38.231 --> 55:40.453
service to our nation . As you walk out

55:42.509 --> 55:44.564
