[0:18] hills and hold the names of our great
[0:21] heroes etched in stone to honor 250
[0:23] years of service, valor, and sacrifice
[0:26] unsurpassed in all of the ages. On
[0:30] Veterans Day, we reaffirm our undying

[1:05] who have always stepped forward so that

[1:17] the highest salute. We offer you our
[1:21] deepest respect and love and we pledge
[1:24] to you our utmost loyalty and devotion.
[1:28] Please join me in thanking every
[1:30] American veteran of the Army, Navy, Air
[1:32] Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and the
[1:35] United States Marine Corps. And we want
[1:38] to thank you very much.
[1:49] As we salute our veterans, let us also
[1:52] express our profound love and
[1:53] appreciation for our military families,
[1:57] past and present. They are amazing.
[1:59] Thank you very much.
[2:07] And they are really among the very best
[2:11] of
