here in the nation's capital and a

44:11.181 --> 44:13.237
great day to be a soldier . Before I

44:13.237 --> 44:15.403
address our distinguished retirees and

44:15.403 --> 44:17.292
families , I would like to take a

44:17.292 --> 44:17.270
moment to thank those who work to make

44:17.270 --> 44:20.340
today's ceremony so special . On the

44:20.340 --> 44:22.507
floor in front of you are the soldiers

44:22.507 --> 44:24.618
of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment , the

44:24.618 --> 44:26.899
old guard , the Army's oldest active

44:26.899 --> 44:29.260
duty infantry regiment . You look

44:29.260 --> 44:31.482
tremendous and your professionalism and

44:31.482 --> 44:33.538
precision honors those retiring here

44:33.538 --> 44:35.593
today . Thank you for your hard work

44:35.593 --> 44:37.704
and dedication and thanks for serving

44:37.704 --> 44:36.979
in our army .

44:44.020 --> 44:46.187
I would also like to thank the members

44:46.187 --> 44:48.353
of the US Army band Pershing zone , as

44:48.353 --> 44:50.576

make these ceremonies all the more

44:52.520 --> 44:51.320
special .

44:57.139 --> 44:59.139
So the soldiers retiring here today

44:59.139 --> 45:01.472
joined the army to be all they could be .

45:01.472 --> 45:03.583
Some joined the army following Desert

45:03.583 --> 45:05.750
Shield and Desert Storm . Others after

45:05.750 --> 45:07.972
America was attacked on 9/11 . All have

45:07.972 --> 45:10.139
stood ready to meet the challenges and

45:10.139 --> 45:12.083
uncertainties of the global war on

45:12.083 --> 45:13.917
terror . That brought almost two

45:13.917 --> 45:16.250
decades of continuous combat operations .

45:16.250 --> 45:18.417
They stand here today representing the

45:18.417 --> 45:20.417
best of America . Today we honor 30

45:20.417 --> 45:22.528
soldiers and their families for their

45:22.528 --> 45:24.639
faithful and dedicated service to our

45:24.639 --> 45:26.917
nation and for being all they could be .

45:26.917 --> 45:29.028
Collectively these soldiers represent

45:29.028 --> 45:31.300
over 750 years of military service ,

45:31.830 --> 45:34.830
750 years , with service around the

45:34.830 --> 45:37.052
globe and in a variety of combat arms ,

45:37.052 --> 45:39.052
combat support , and combat service

45:39.052 --> 45:41.219
support specialties , these soldiers ,

45:41.219 --> 45:43.441
leaders and their families answered our

45:43.441 --> 45:45.330
nation's call . And have not only

45:45.330 --> 45:47.386
served during a period of persistent

45:47.386 --> 45:49.497
conflict but also led and trained our

45:49.497 --> 45:51.441
young men and women to deploy into

45:51.441 --> 45:53.719
harm's way and do our nation's bidding .

45:53.719 --> 45:55.941
Our army and our nation owes you a debt

45:55.941 --> 45:57.830
of gratitude for your service and

45:57.830 --> 45:59.719
sacrifice that can never be fully

45:59.719 --> 46:02.229
repaid . The medal and US flag are but

46:02.229 --> 46:04.600
a small token of appreciation for your

46:04.600 --> 46:07.090
service . I would like to take just a

46:07.090 --> 46:09.090
moment to talk about our flag , Old

46:09.090 --> 46:11.459
Glory . That you receive a flag on the

46:11.459 --> 46:13.181
occasion of your retirement is

46:13.181 --> 46:15.292
significant and that it is the symbol

46:15.292 --> 46:17.515
of our nation and recognized around the

46:17.515 --> 46:19.626
world . We have fought to protect the

46:19.626 --> 46:21.681
freedoms in our way of life , and we

46:21.681 --> 46:23.792
wear the stars and stripes proudly on

46:23.792 --> 46:25.570
our uniform both home and while

46:25.570 --> 46:27.626
deployed . The red color in the flag

46:27.626 --> 46:30.169
symbolizes hardiness and valor which

46:30.169 --> 46:32.002
each of you has personified as a

46:32.002 --> 46:33.836
soldier and leader in our army .

46:35.649 --> 46:37.705
Operating in austere conditions with

46:37.705 --> 46:39.705
limited resources to accomplish the

46:39.705 --> 46:41.705
most difficult missions . The white

46:41.705 --> 46:43.871
color refers to purity and innocence ,

46:43.871 --> 46:45.982
which you have sought to protect both

46:45.982 --> 46:48.149
here at home and abroad , and the blue

46:48.149 --> 46:49.760
color represents vigilance ,

46:49.760 --> 46:51.982
perseverance , and justice , which each

46:51.982 --> 46:54.149
of you has demonstrated in the conduct

46:54.149 --> 46:55.871
of your duties as officers and

46:55.871 --> 46:57.927
non-commissioned officers . I'm sure

46:57.927 --> 47:00.149
the flag holds special meaning for each

47:00.149 --> 47:00.139
one of you as it should , given your

47:00.139 --> 47:03.040
service to our nation . As you walk out

47:03.040 --> 47:05.040
of economy hall today , take solace

47:05.040 --> 47:06.873
knowing that you leave behind an

47:06.873 --> 47:08.929
enduring legacy that lives on in the

47:08.929 --> 47:11.040
countless soldiers you have trained ,

47:11.040 --> 47:13.151
mentored , and inspired . The army is

47:13.151 --> 47:15.479
better because of your service , ladies

47:15.479 --> 47:17.479
and gentlemen , please join me in a

47:17.479 --> 47:19.535
round of applause for these 30 great

47:19.535 --> 47:18.989
soldiers .

47:29.820 --> 47:32.042
We would be remiss today , however , if

47:32.042 --> 47:34.209
we did not take some time to thank the

47:34.209 --> 47:35.987
family members of each of these

47:35.987 --> 47:38.153
retiring soldiers . Your sacrifice and

47:38.153 --> 47:40.320
support over the past 20 plus years of

47:40.320 --> 47:42.376
service has been foundational to the

47:42.376 --> 47:44.376
success of each of these retirees ,

47:44.376 --> 47:46.264
allowing them to accomplish their

47:46.264 --> 47:48.487
assigned missions and serve in the army

47:48.487 --> 47:50.431
that they love . You have remained

47:50.431 --> 47:52.653
steadfast in your support during a time

47:52.653 --> 47:54.431
of war that necessitated family

47:54.431 --> 47:56.431
separations , and for that you will

47:56.431 --> 47:58.320
never be adequately compensated .

47:58.320 --> 48:00.320
Please accept our eternal thanks on

48:00.320 --> 48:02.320
behalf of a grateful nation for all

48:02.320 --> 48:04.320
that you have done and all you have

48:04.320 --> 48:06.209
endured as military families . We

48:06.209 --> 48:08.320
cannot fulfill our obligations to our

48:08.320 --> 48:10.376
soldiers , the army , and the nation

48:10.376 --> 48:10.100
without the love and support of our

48:10.100 --> 48:12.322
families . So please join me in a round

48:12.322 --> 48:14.322
of applause for all of our military

48:14.322 --> 48:14.129
families .

48:22.969 --> 48:25.191
So to our retiring soldiers , thank you

48:25.191 --> 48:27.413
for your service . You are warriors and

48:27.413 --> 48:29.413
soldiers for life , so I humbly ask

48:29.413 --> 48:31.525

48:35.691 --> 48:37.691
experiences with America's sons and

48:37.691 --> 48:37.669

48:37.669 --> 48:39.891
inspired to follow in your footsteps to

48:39.891 --> 48:41.891
volunteer to support and defend the

48:41.891 --> 48:43.836
