00:28:56.020 Thank you.
00:28:58.020 memories, places with names like Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Normandy, Inchon, Coast, and Fallujah.
00:29:09.520 We're also reminded of the many places we've never heard of, on and under the sea, on land
00:29:16.700 and in the air, where incredible acts of valor and sacrifice were followed by a knock on
00:29:24.720 a door.
00:29:26.640 It is in those families left to carry on, whose loss forever lives on, in their hearts
00:29:33.100 and in their memories, but also in the sustaining pride of being an American Gold Star family
00:29:40.420 that we find incredible courage and strength.
00:29:45.520 Families with last names like Sather, Duthman, Gilbert, Brown, Barber, Henderson, Zembiek,
00:29:53.340 Jones, Wheeler, Kent, and so many others like Horton.
00:29:59.800 It's in the lives of the fallen and their families that were left by a standard to live by, a
00:30:08.260 charge for us all to keep, a charge to carry the torch forward with duty, courage, and love
00:30:15.260 of country.
00:30:16.260 Their legacy is entrusted to us, the living.
00:30:20.720 It is our responsibility to carry that weight and to live in a way worthy of their sacrifice and
00:30:28.640 to never forget what they did for us.
00:30:32.220 General George Patton once said it best on a day like today when he said we should thank
00:30:37.100 God that some such men lived.
00:30:40.860 I know I sure do.
00:30:42.560 Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Mr. Secretary, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here
00:30:49.080 on this Memorial Day to honor those we lost in the service of our nation and their families
00:30:55.300 who carry on so bravely.
00:30:57.600 May we never forget our fallen and their families.
00:31:01.740 May we never forget our deployed forces and their families.
00:31:06.140 And it is now my sincere honor and privilege to introduce the 29th Secretary of Defense,
00:31:12.360 a combat veteran himself who's knelt before battlefield crosses, who's seen up close the
00:31:19.220 courage and sacrifice we're here to honor today, and who never ever forgets that the
00:31:25.440 gifts given here are in defense of our great nation.
00:31:30.060 Ladies and gentlemen, the Honorable Pete Hegseth.
00:31:35.460 Raksa, President Trump, Vice President Vance, Chairman Cain, Gold Star families, ladies and gentlemen,
00:31:59.380 thank you for joining us today to remember our fallen warriors.
00:32:04.160 We gather here to honor our very best, gone in their youth.
00:32:10.420 To properly do so, we understand who they are and what they fought for.
00:32:16.280 It is our simple duty to them.
00:32:18.780 You know, throughout time, civilizations have honored the powerful, the well-connected and
00:32:24.260 the well-born emperors and kings built magnificent shrines to their own royal greatness.
00:32:31.660 Yet in America, with our great experiment in self-government, it is fitting that the most
00:32:37.120 honored and closely guarded tomb in the land is that of an anonymous soldier of an unknown
00:32:45.040 rank.
00:32:47.300 When the first unknown soldier was selected for burial in 1921, he laid in state at the
00:32:52.600 Capitol Road, throngs of Americans paid their respects.
00:32:58.800 When the tomb was dedicated on November 11th, Veterans Day, the unknown received the Medal of Honor.
00:33:05.700 It's a uniquely American tradition that we honor anonymous sacrifice above worldly greatness.
00:33:14.620 While we don't know the unknown's identity, race or creed, we know his story.
00:33:20.980 It's the story of every soldier, every warrior.
00:33:25.760 It's a simple story, as old as war.
00:33:30.420 A young man with hopes and dreams and loves, who's called by his country, leaves behind his
00:33:35.280 hometown, his parents, his siblings, his sweetheart, all that he knows to go fight a war that he
00:33:44.280 may or may not understand.
00:33:48.120 He's called to go through hell and back.
00:33:50.580 To sleep in a trench, to eat out of a tin cup or on the hood of a Humvee, to pray as bullets
00:33:56.940 and bombs thunder around him.
00:34:00.240 To fear for the bullet or the mortar or the IED or the RPG with his name on it.
00:34:10.380 He does it willingly and stoically because he loves his country, his brothers in arms and
00:34:17.040 his family.
00:34:18.120 This is the story of the unknown.
00:34:21.160 The story of the fallen soldier who we have gathered today to honor.
00:34:25.440 It is the story of the American warrior.
00:34:29.660 He answered the call, fought and died for this republic.
00:34:34.360 The ultimate sacrifice of a free people.
00:34:37.280 You see, the American soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him, but because
00:34:43.620 he loves what's behind him.
00:34:47.220 We honor his selfless sacrifice, his courage, his duty and his love.
00:34:54.380 As Jesus taught his disciples, greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
00:35:00.140 life for his friends.
00:35:03.160 This love is a gift given freely.
00:35:05.760 And yet this gift comes with responsibility to those living.
00:35:09.840 We owe a duty to those who have fallen in war.
00:35:12.560 They have paid a debt we can never repay.
00:35:15.200 And for that, we owe gratitude and remembrance.
00:35:20.800 We owe at least this to remember their sacrifice and honor their memory year after year, salute
00:35:29.460 after salute, ceremony after ceremony, parade after parade, prayer after prayer.
00:35:35.740 That by our remembrance, we keep lit the eternal flame of their heroic deeds in defense of
00:35:42.500 our nation.
00:35:43.860 And we owe eternal vigilance, eternal vigilance, the price of freedom.
00:35:50.820 These men died for something, the hope of a free, secure and peaceful republic.
00:35:56.140 That is our inheritance and we must steward it and hand it down to our kids and our grandkids.
00:36:03.980 We must live worthy of it.
00:36:08.860 These men dreamt of a future in which their children would not fear of attack.
00:36:12.780 No enemy could threaten their peace.
00:36:14.600 No war could require them to take up arms.
00:36:18.080 The duty we owe these men is peace, which only can be achieved through strength.
00:36:25.100 And because we strive for peace, we must prepare for war.
00:36:31.540 It's the job of the chairman and I and so many others at the Defense Department each and every
00:36:36.260 day.
00:36:37.260 We will never, on behalf of those who've given so much, we will never be complacent.
00:36:44.620 We owe these men nothing less.
00:36:48.460 Our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
00:36:52.920 So on this Memorial Day, in honor of the unknown soldiers and the known, let us rededicate
00:37:00.180 ourselves to God and country.
00:37:05.000 To our great republic 249 years on, we stand on the shoulders of great men and on the shoulders
00:37:13.060 of those great men in those graves and may we live worthy of it.
00:37:19.780 Thank you.
00:37:20.840 God bless our warriors and may God bless our fallen.
00:37:24.060 Amen.
00:37:25.060 Amen.
00:37:26.060 Amen.
00:37:27.060 Ladies and gentlemen, the United States Marine Band with the United States Navy Band Sea
00:37:45.060 Santers will now perform, This Land is Your Land.
00:37:58.060 Amen.
00:37:59.560 Yay! 0.99
00:38:04.560 Thank you.
00:38:17.500 Amen.
00:38:19.420 Amen.
00:38:21.640 Amen.
00:38:26.900 Amen.
00:38:27.440 As I went walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway, I saw
00:38:45.080 below me that golden valley, this land was made for you and me.
00:38:59.080 This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York Island, from
00:39:11.080 the redwood forest to the cold stream waters, this land was made for you and me.
00:39:26.080 I rolled and rambled, and I followed my footsteps to the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,
00:39:45.080 and all around me a voice was sounding, this land was made for you and me.
00:39:57.080 When the sun came shining, and I was shining, and the wheat fields waiting, and the dust clouds
00:40:08.080 rolling, as the fog was lifting, our voice was singing.
00:40:15.080 This land was made for you and me.
00:40:22.080 This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York Island, from
00:40:34.080 the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters, this land was made for you and me.
00:40:47.080 And it's where my body's business is managed to rotate, to the Gulf Stream waters, this land
00:40:55.080 O'er, who was rising, and the knots in the top lane, it was making the United ConnectIs
00:41:02.080 Can make me turn back
00:41:06.460 This land was made for you and me
00:41:11.020 This land is your land
00:41:14.200 This land is my land
00:41:17.020 From California
00:41:19.120 To the New York Islands
00:41:22.540 From the Redwood Forest
00:41:25.580 To the Gulf Stream waters
00:41:32.080 This land was made for you and me
00:41:40.040 You and me
00:42:02.080 Ladies and gentlemen, Vice President J.D. Vance
00:42:08.040 Well, thank you, everyone
00:42:20.000 Thank you to that incredible choir and band
00:42:22.000 And thanks to General Kane and Secretary Hegseth for your powerful words
00:42:26.000 Thank you, most importantly, for everything that you do for our nation's warfighters
00:42:30.000 And for those who have given their lives to this country
00:42:35.960 We remember you today
00:42:37.960 And certainly to our Gold Star families
00:42:39.960 We're so thrilled and so grateful to have you with us in attendance
00:42:45.960 This is a sacred place
00:42:47.960 An eternal resting spot
00:42:49.960 For our nation's sons and daughters
00:42:53.960 We gather in solemn commemoration of their sacrifice
00:42:59.920 And the sacrifice made by all those who gave up their lives in service to our beloved country
00:43:05.920 In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson laid the cornerstone of the Memorial Amphitheater we gather in today
00:43:14.920 Buried within it was a copper box which contained mementos of profound significance to the amphitheater's designers and to our entire country
00:43:26.880 There were four things
00:43:28.880 An American flag
00:43:29.880 A Bible 0.95
00:43:30.880 A copy of our Declaration of Independence
00:43:33.880 And a copy of the U.S. Constitution
00:43:36.880 In the objects they chose to dedicate to posterity
00:43:40.880 Those Americans remind us of the values we hold timeless and dear as a nation and as a people
00:43:47.840 But those values didn't spring from any stonework or time capsule
00:43:52.840 They were lived out day after day by the people buried in this hallowed cemetery
00:44:00.840 Each life honored here in Arlington was once full of the ordinary moments and quiet dreams
00:44:09.840 Of early sunrises
00:44:11.840 Of good days and bad days
00:44:14.840 Of celebrations and disappointments
00:44:17.840 They stood not apart from us
00:44:20.840 But among us
00:44:22.840 Ordinary men and women who chose to shoulder an impossible burden
00:44:27.840 And when we consider what they gave to us
00:44:30.840 It's common, of course, to focus on their deaths
00:44:34.840 On the courage to give in that moment what very few are willing or able to sacrifice
00:44:41.840 But the real tragedy of the loss is not in a single moment of suffering as our Gold Star families know well
00:44:49.840 But in all the future moments they and their families lost
00:44:53.840 Every moment between their sacrifice on the battlefield and what would have been a natural death
00:45:01.840 Because we know they sacrifice not just their physical life
00:45:06.840 They sacrifice the moments that make that life worthwhile
00:45:10.840 They sacrifice the child's embrace
00:45:13.840 They sacrifice walking their daughter down the aisle
00:45:17.840 Of seeing their husband or wife after a big promotion of sharing a meal with the family at Thanksgiving
00:45:24.840 For my fellow Americans, especially those watching on television
00:45:28.840 Consider the sum of all the moments that make a good life
00:45:33.840 And now appreciate that countless strangers, people most of you never met
00:45:39.840 They gave up those moments in their own life
00:45:42.840 So that we could enjoy them in ours
00:45:45.840 And that is what Memorial Day is all about
00:45:49.840 I once heard a Marine Corps Colonel that I served with
00:45:52.840 He said this in 2005, not long after a very tough deployment to Iraq
00:45:58.840 He said this about his fallen men
00:46:01.840 That they were the best looking
00:46:03.840 They were the kindest
00:46:04.840 They were the smartest
00:46:06.840 They were the most devoted
00:46:08.840 They were the very best of us
00:46:12.840 To them, we owe everything
00:46:15.840 And today, in the peace they bequeathed us
00:46:19.840 We honor them
00:46:20.840 As the Book of Wisdom tells us
00:46:23.840 But the Righteous One, though he die early, shall be at rest
00:46:28.840 For the age that is honorable comes not with the passing of time
00:46:33.840 Nor can it be measured in terms of years
00:46:36.840 They laid down their lives for Americans they would never meet 1.00
00:46:40.840 For generations yet unborn
00:46:43.840 For a nation that would not exist
00:46:47.840 Absent their incredible courage
00:46:49.840 Now we know their families in particular have given so much
00:46:53.840 And in particular, I want to speak to the Gold Star families
00:46:57.840 To the families who have lost a son
00:46:59.840 A daughter, a husband or a wife 0.99
00:47:01.840 To every child here who misses your dad or your mom
00:47:05.840 Know that your loved one to us is a hero
00:47:09.840 And though we cannot know your pain
00:47:12.840 Please know that I speak for the entire nation
00:47:15.840 When I say that we are grateful to them
00:47:18.840 And to you
00:47:20.840 For a debt none of us can possibly repay
00:47:23.840 Now all of us will honor the fallen
00:47:26.840 And their families in our own way
00:47:28.840 But allow me to suggest two ways of honoring their sacrifice
00:47:32.840 Two ways that I try to honor their sacrifice every day
00:47:36.840 First, we ought to commit ourselves
00:47:40.840 And expect from our leaders
00:47:42.840 To treat the lives of our troops as the most precious resource
00:47:48.840 The very best way
00:47:51.840 The very best way to honor the fallen
00:48:01.840 Is to only ask the next generation to make the ultimate sacrifice
00:48:06.840 When they absolutely must
00:48:09.840 We must be cautious in sending our people to war
00:48:13.840 The second way that I try to honor the fallen
00:48:19.840 Is to commit ourselves to being worthy of their sacrifice
00:48:24.840 If you're a husband, be the best husband you can be
00:48:27.840 If you're a mom, be the best mom that you can be
00:48:30.840 If you're a citizen, be the very best citizen that you can be
00:48:34.840 Because together, let us build a better country
00:48:37.840 A more perfect union
00:48:39.840 And strive to be the kind of nation
00:48:42.840 Worthy of the sacrifice of the people that we honor today
00:48:45.840 On this Memorial Day
00:48:47.840 Let us remember that we have been given a great gift
00:48:50.840 Often by people none of us ever met
00:48:53.840 Let us cherish that gift and make ourselves worthy of it
00:48:57.840 May God bless those who gave that gift
00:49:00.840 And may he bless the country they sacrificed for
00:49:04.840 Thank you
00:49:20.840 And now, without further ado
00:49:22.840 Let me please introduce your president
00:49:25.840 The people's president
00:49:27.840 The president who knows
00:49:29.840 What these men and women
00:49:32.840 What they sacrificed for
00:49:33.840 And who honors them every single day
00:49:35.840 And the job that he does
00:49:36.840 President Trump
00:49:38.840 Thank you very much
00:49:56.840 Thank you
00:49:59.840 Thank you very much
00:50:00.840 Very special place
00:50:02.840 And a very special day
00:50:04.840 Thank you to Vice President Vance
00:50:08.840 Doing a terrific job
00:50:09.840 Thanks also to a man who has devoted his life
00:50:13.840 To service members and veterans
00:50:15.840 Secretary of Defense
00:50:16.840 Pete Hegseth
00:50:18.840 Who's doing really well
00:50:19.840 He went through a lot, didn't he?
00:50:21.840 But he's doing really well
00:50:22.840 He's a tough cookie
00:50:23.840 That's what we want
00:50:24.840 He's a tough cookie
00:50:25.840 And we're grateful to be joined as well by Chairman Cain
00:50:37.840 Terrific military person
00:50:40.840 Members of the Cabinet
00:50:42.840 Members of Congress
00:50:43.840 Members of the United States Armed Forces
00:50:45.840 Veterans
00:50:46.840 And many other distinguished guests
00:50:49.840 We gather today to honor the incredible service members
00:50:55.840 Who rest in glory in this cemetery
00:50:58.840 And burial grounds around the world
00:51:00.840 And in a thousand lonely places
00:51:02.840 Known only to God
00:51:04.840 In every hour of peril
00:51:06.840 In every moment of crisis
00:51:07.840 American warriors
00:51:09.840 Have left behind the blessings of home and family
00:51:12.840 To answer their nation's call
00:51:14.840 They've offered all that they had within them
00:51:18.840 And given their last breaths to each and every one of us
00:51:23.840 That we might live safe and breathe free
00:51:28.840 This morning we pay tribute to their immortal deeds
00:51:32.840 We share in the sorrow of their beloved families
00:51:36.840 And as one nation we give thanks for the ultimate gift
00:51:39.840 They have so selflessly given to all of us
00:51:43.840 These warriors
00:51:45.840 And that's what they are
00:51:46.840 As great great warriors
00:51:47.840 Picked up their mantle
00:51:48.840 Of duty and service
00:51:50.840 Knowing that to live for others
00:51:52.840 Meant always that they might die for others
00:51:56.840 They knew that
00:51:57.840 They asked nothing for it
00:51:59.840 They gave everything
00:52:00.840 And we owe them
00:52:02.840 Everything
00:52:03.840 And much much more
00:52:05.840 Each of the service members
00:52:11.840 Others who have made the supreme sacrifice for our nation
00:52:15.840 Has also left an unfillable void
00:52:18.840 And an unbreakable silence in the lives of all who love them
00:52:23.840 For the families of the fallen
00:52:26.840 You feel the absence of your heroes every day
00:52:29.840 And the family
00:52:31.840 These are great families
00:52:32.840 These are wonderful families
00:52:34.840 In the familiar laugh
00:52:36.840 No longer heard
00:52:37.840 The empty space at Sunday dinner
00:52:40.840 Or the want of a hug
00:52:42.840 Or a pat on the back
00:52:43.840 That will never come again
00:52:46.840 Every gold star family fights a battle long after the victory is won
00:52:50.840 And today
00:52:51.840 We lift you up
00:52:53.840 And we hold you high
00:52:55.840 Thank you
00:52:56.840 Thank you
00:52:57.840 Thank you
00:52:58.840 For giving America the brightest light in your lives
00:53:01.840 That's what you've done
00:53:02.840 We will never ever forget our fallen heroes
00:53:05.840 And we will never forget our debt to you
00:53:09.840 This Memorial Day is especially significant
00:53:13.840 As we commemorate 250 years since the first American patriots fell on the field of battle
00:53:21.840 Two and a half centuries ago at Lexington Green, Concord Bridge, Bunker Hill
00:53:28.840 Brave Minutemen and Humboldt Farm Boys became the first to give their lives for a nation
00:53:34.840 That did not yet have a name
00:53:38.840 With their deaths
00:53:39.840 Men like John Brown, 23
00:53:42.840 Samuel Hadley, 28
00:53:45.840 And Abner Hawson, 21
00:53:48.840 Ignited the flame of liberty
00:53:51.840 That now lights the inspires
00:53:55.840 Everybody
00:53:57.840 And the entire world
00:53:59.840 Those young men
00:54:01.840 Could never have known what their sacrifice would mean to us
00:54:05.840 But we certainly know
00:54:07.840 What we owe to them
00:54:09.840 Their valor gave us
00:54:11.840 The freest, greatest and most noble republic ever to exist on the face of the earth
00:54:16.840 A republic that
00:54:18.840 I am fixing after a long and hard four years
00:54:21.840 That was a hard four years we went through
00:54:24.840 Who would let that happen?
00:54:34.840 People pouring through our borders unchecked 0.99
00:54:38.840 People doing things that are indescribable and not for today to discuss
00:54:45.840 But the republic that is
00:54:48.840 Now doing so very well
00:54:50.840 We're doing so very well right now
00:54:52.840 Considering the circumstances
00:54:54.840 And we'll do record setting better
00:54:56.840 With time
00:54:57.840 We will do better than we've ever done as a nation
00:55:00.840 Better than ever before
00:55:01.840 I promise you that
00:55:02.840 In every generation since
00:55:13.840 At Trenton and Yorktown
00:55:15.840 At Vicksburg and Shiloh
00:55:17.840 And in far away places with names like
00:55:21.840 Chateau, Terere, Anzio, Iwo Jima, Quezon, Kandahar
00:55:29.840 There are really just a few chosen names
00:55:34.840 And these are names that have become so important on the altar of freedom
00:55:39.840 They plunged into the crucible of battle
00:55:42.840 Stormed into the fires of hell
00:55:44.840 Charged into the valley of death
00:55:47.840 And rose into the arms of angels
00:55:50.840 The sacrifice that they made was not merely for a single battle
00:55:55.840 A long-ago victory or a fleeting triumph
00:55:58.840 Decades or centuries past
00:56:00.840 Their sacrifice was for today, tomorrow, and every morning thereafter
00:56:07.840 Every child that lives in peace
00:56:10.840 Every home that is filled with joy and love
00:56:12.840 Every day the republic stands is only possible because of those who did what had to be done when duty called
00:56:20.840 And the cost was everything to them and to their families
00:56:27.840 Our debt to them is eternal
00:56:30.840 And it does not diminish with time
00:56:33.840 It only grows and grows and grows with each passing year
00:56:37.840 The greatest monument to their courage is not carved in marble or cast in bronze
00:56:43.840 It's all around us, an American nation
00:56:46.840 325 million strong
00:56:49.840 Which will soon be greater than it has ever been before
00:56:54.840 It will be
00:56:55.840 And so today we uphold
00:56:58.840 The memory of our heroes as people have done since ancient times
00:57:03.840 By telling their stories and exalting their names
00:57:07.840 Senior Master Sergeant Elroy Harworth
00:57:11.840 Was a young, beautiful man from Erhard, Minnesota
00:57:16.840 When he enlisted in the Air Force and was sent to Vietnam
00:57:20.840 Fifty-nine years ago this very week
00:57:24.840 Elroy and his crewmates climbed into the dark skies over Da Nang
00:57:30.840 On a classified mission known as Operation Carolina Moon
00:57:36.840 Their aim was to blow up a key enemy bridge
00:57:40.840 And while other crews had tried and failed
00:57:42.840 They were determined to try and get it done in the face of extreme danger
00:57:47.840 And they knew how bad it was
00:57:49.840 As their C-130 closed in on its target
00:57:53.840 And Elroy jockeyed his 5,000 pounds of explosives into position
00:57:58.840 The aircraft came under unbelievably intense fire
00:58:04.840 They'd never seen anything like it
00:58:06.840 Try as they might, they were hit as the plane swung low
00:58:10.840 And they went down deep in enemy territory
00:58:14.840 Elroy was just 24 years old when he gave his life for America
00:58:18.840 Leaving behind a beautiful young wife 0.52
00:58:21.840 Who was seven months pregnant 0.97
00:58:24.840 That meant Elroy would never know the joy of meeting his son Troy
00:58:29.840 Or seeing him grow
00:58:30.840 And he would never have the pride to watch his son
00:58:34.840 Follow in his father's footsteps
00:58:36.840 And serve two decades in the U.S. Army
00:58:40.840 Sergeant First Class Troy Harworth
00:58:44.840 Is with us today, joined by his wife Sonia and their son John
00:58:48.840 The grandson Elroy never got to hold
00:58:52.840 Thank you Troy
00:58:54.840 And thank you John
00:58:55.840 And above all
00:58:56.840 Thank you Elroy
00:58:58.840 Thank you very much
00:58:59.840 Please stand up
00:59:00.840 Thank you
00:59:01.840 Wherever you may be
00:59:03.840 Thank you very much
00:59:05.840 Thank you very much
00:59:10.840 Great family
00:59:15.840 Corporal Ryan McGee of Fredericksburg, Virginia
00:59:20.840 Knew from the time he saw the towers fall on 9-11
00:59:23.840 That he wanted to be an Army Ranger
00:59:26.840 He was an American guy, all American
00:59:30.840 He was a tough guy, he was the top of everything
00:59:33.840 In high school he was captain of the football team
00:59:36.840 And was voted friendliest and most charming by his peers
00:59:41.840 Ryan joined the Army soon after graduation
00:59:44.840 And after three tours in Afghanistan
00:59:46.840 He deployed to Iraq
00:59:48.840 He and his unit were tasked with hunting down a weapon facilitator
00:59:54.840 And a suicide bomber cell near Baghdad
00:59:57.840 A vicious, vicious cell
00:59:59.840 Killing many, many people
01:00:01.840 Sixteen years ago this month
01:00:04.840 They engaged the enemy in a firefight
01:00:07.840 And Ryan was mortally wounded
01:00:09.840 He gave his life at 21 years old
01:00:12.840 And today he rests until the end of time
01:00:14.840 In the famed section 60 here at Arlington
01:00:18.840 Where we have buried our honored dead from the war on terror
01:00:22.840 We are joined today by Ryan's mom, Sherry
01:00:26.840 And Sherry, all of America shares in your grief
01:00:29.840 And more importantly we share in your pride
01:00:31.840 And your wonderful son
01:00:33.840 And thank you so much for being here, Sherry
01:00:36.840 Thank you, Sherry
01:00:47.840 Thank you, Sherry
01:00:49.840 Thank you very much
01:00:52.840 On behalf of everyone
01:00:54.840 This crowd is so big she's hard to find
01:00:57.840 Once I saw her she really stands out
01:01:00.840 Thank you, Sherry, very much
01:01:02.840 Senior Chief Petty Officer
01:01:04.840 Shannon Kent grew up in Pine Plains, New York
01:01:08.840 Before enlisting in the Navy in 2003
01:01:12.840 And she quickly became one of the rising stars
01:01:15.840 She was an absolute winner
01:01:17.840 As a linguist, translator and cryptologic technician
01:01:23.840 Shannon worked alongside elite special force units
01:01:27.840 Like Delta Force and Navy SEALs
01:01:29.840 To help them capture and kill terrorists
01:01:32.840 She was among the first women ever to do it
01:01:35.840 And she did it better than anyone
01:01:38.840 In January 2019, Shannon was on her fifth combat deployment
01:01:42.840 Embedded with a team hunting ISIS terrorists
01:01:45.840 Through the streets of Syria
01:01:48.840 When a suicide bomber detonated his weapon-killing
01:01:52.840 Senior Chief Kent
01:01:54.840 And three other wonderful, beautiful Americans
01:01:58.840 She left behind her husband Joe
01:02:01.840 And their two sons
01:02:02.840 Three-year-old Colt
01:02:04.840 And 18-month-old baby Josh
01:02:07.840 Today, Shannon rests in peace on these grounds
01:02:10.840 Alongside her comrades
01:02:12.840 To her boys Colt and Josh
01:02:14.840 Who are here this morning
01:02:16.840 Now age nine and seven
01:02:18.840 Let me say your mom was a hero
01:02:21.840 And her love, her strength and her spirit
01:02:24.840 Are always with us
01:02:26.840 And always be with you
01:02:28.840 She loved her boys
01:02:29.840 To Joe, the boys
01:02:32.840 Shannon's parents
01:02:34.840 Mary and Steven
01:02:35.840 And her sister Mariah
01:02:37.840 Shannon's name
01:02:38.840 Will live forever
01:02:40.840 In the chronicles of true American patriots
01:02:42.840 I just want to thank you
01:02:43.840 And thank you so much for being here
01:02:45.840 In honor of your magnificent family member
01:02:48.840 Stories like Shannon's, Ryan's and Elroy's
01:02:52.840 Remind us of the real meaning of the day
01:02:54.840 And I want to just say
01:02:56.840 Please stand up wherever you may be
01:02:58.840 The boys
01:02:59.840 I want to see those boys
01:03:01.840 Where are you?
01:03:28.840 Good-looking guys
01:03:30.840 Thank you very much for being here
01:03:45.840 All of you thank you so much
01:03:47.840 We should never forget even for a moment
01:03:49.840 That freedom is a gift of the highest cost
01:03:51.840 And peace is won at the most precious price
01:03:56.840 These extraordinary American heroes
01:03:58.840 And their immense and ultimate sacrifices
01:04:01.840 They offer only the faintest glimpse
01:04:04.840 At the infinite grace we have received
01:04:07.840 From all who laid down their lives for America
01:04:10.840 Over the past 250 years
01:04:13.840 We're going to have a big big celebration
01:04:15.840 As you know 250 years
01:04:17.840 In some ways I'm glad I missed that second term
01:04:22.840 Where it was because
01:04:23.840 I wouldn't be your president
01:04:27.840 For that most important of all
01:04:30.840 In addition we have the world cup
01:04:31.840 And we have the Olympics
01:04:33.840 Can you imagine?
01:04:34.840 I missed that four years
01:04:35.840 And now look what I have
01:04:37.840 I have everything
01:04:38.840 Amazing the way things work out
01:04:40.840 God did that
01:04:47.840 I believe that too
01:04:49.840 God did it
01:04:54.840 You know I got the world cup
01:05:00.840 And I got the Olympics
01:05:02.840 The 250 years was not mine 0.91
01:05:05.840 I'd like to take credit
01:05:07.840 But I got the Olympics
01:05:08.840 I got the world cup when I was president
01:05:10.840 And I said
01:05:11.840 Boy it's too bad
01:05:12.840 I won't be president then
01:05:13.840 And look what happened
01:05:14.840 I turned out
01:05:15.840 And we're going to have a great time
01:05:17.840 We're going to have a great celebration
01:05:18.840 But most important of all
01:05:19.840 Is the 250th anniversary
01:05:22.840 That blows everything away
01:05:23.840 Including the world cup
01:05:24.840 And including the Olympics
01:05:26.840 As far as I'm concerned
01:05:27.840 In any corner of this cemetery
01:05:29.840 At any resting place
01:05:31.840 For our war dead
01:05:32.840 Anywhere on earth
01:05:33.840 You'll find untold stories
01:05:35.840 Of equal heroism
01:05:37.840 And heartbreak
01:05:38.840 Unmatched
01:05:39.840 Patriotism
01:05:40.840 And devotion
01:05:41.840 And acts of selflessness
01:05:43.840 And courage
01:05:44.840 So enormous
01:05:45.840 They defy
01:05:46.840 Comprehension
01:05:47.840 Most people
01:05:48.840 Can't even imagine it
01:05:49.840 Great poets have written
01:05:51.840 That it's love
01:05:52.840 Which moves the sun
01:05:54.840 And the stars
01:05:55.840 But here on the sacred soil
01:05:57.840 Right where we are
01:05:58.840 We're reminded that
01:06:00.840 It's love
01:06:01.840 Which moves the course of history
01:06:03.840 And moves it
01:06:04.840 Always toward freedom
01:06:05.840 Always
01:06:06.840 From Bunker Hill
01:06:08.840 To Bastogne
01:06:09.840 To Cantonese
01:06:11.840 To Coral Sea
01:06:12.840 From Gettysburg
01:06:13.840 To Guadalcanal
01:06:15.840 And Concord
01:06:16.840 To Kabul
01:06:17.840 America's best
01:06:19.840 And America's bravest
01:06:20.840 Have fought
01:06:21.840 Bled and died 1.00
01:06:22.840 So that we
01:06:23.840 Could pick up
01:06:24.840 The torch of liberty
01:06:25.840 Raise it high
01:06:26.840 High
01:06:27.840 High
01:06:28.840 And carry it
01:06:29.840 Onward to places
01:06:30.840 They could never
01:06:31.840 Have dreamed of before
01:06:33.840 Today we honor
01:06:34.840 Their memory
01:06:35.840 We remember
01:06:36.840 Their gallantry
01:06:37.840 We just revere
01:06:39.840 In the highest sense
01:06:41.840 We just revere
01:06:43.840 Their incredible legacy
01:06:45.840 We salute them
01:06:47.840 In their eternal
01:06:48.840 And everlasting glory
01:06:50.840 And we continue
01:06:51.840 Our relentless pursuit
01:06:52.840 Of America's destiny
01:06:54.840 As we make our nation
01:06:55.840 Stronger
01:06:56.840 Prouder
01:06:57.840 Freer
01:06:58.840 And greater
01:06:59.840 Than ever before
01:07:01.840 May God bless
01:07:02.840 Our fallen heroes
01:07:04.840 May God bless
01:07:06.840 Our gold star families

01:09:04.320 nor take for granted the liberties
01:09:06.320 that they secured for us long ago.
01:09:10.020 Help us to continue to honor their lives

01:13:41.540 Denver
01:13:41.860 The live coverage of the Memorial Day Parade
01:13:44.600 And other events
01:13:46.540 Patrick K. O'Donnell
01:13:48.380 Incredibly moving
01:13:50.520 Ceremony by the president
01:13:52.940 Laying a wreath on the tomb of the unknown
01:13:54.720 And then giving
01:13:56.820 As they said at Gettysburg
01:13:58.560 Certain appropriate remarks
01:14:00.920 Patrick K. O'Donnell
01:14:02.820 Powerful and solemn remarks
01:14:06.160 Steve
01:14:07.200 You know
01:14:08.040 Highlighting
01:14:08.860 The importance of the 250th anniversary
01:14:11.680 Of Lexington and Concord
01:14:13.520 And that great generation
01:14:14.540 Steve
01:14:15.360 I've interviewed
01:14:15.860 About 4,000
01:14:17.860 World War II veterans
01:14:19.000 And I never forget
01:14:19.800 When I asked one of those veterans
01:14:21.480 Who's a veteran
01:14:22.060 Of the Ranger Battalions
01:14:23.820 In North Africa
01:14:25.020 Darby's Rangers
01:14:25.720 I said to him directly
01:14:27.140 Are you the greatest generation?
01:14:28.860 And he said to me
01:14:29.520 Patrick
01:14:30.540 What about the men of the cause?
01:14:33.480 The men of 1775
01:14:35.140 The boys of 76
01:14:36.540 And the men
01:14:37.700 In that generation
01:14:40.020 That would fight
01:14:41.360 Fellow Americans
01:14:42.360 In our first American Civil War
01:14:44.320 And the greatest power on earth
01:14:46.700 At the time
01:14:47.660 Military power
01:14:48.400 The Empire of Great Britain
01:14:50.960 And you know
01:14:52.300 That is what
01:14:53.140 That always stuck with me
01:14:54.440 But it was
01:14:55.340 Today
01:14:55.760 It was about
01:14:56.400 Honoring the fallen
01:14:58.200 And remembering their sacrifices
01:15:00.560 How these men and women
01:15:02.840 Are forever young
01:15:04.060 They will never grow old
01:15:05.680 But their memories
01:15:07.180 Stay with us
01:15:08.320 And what they did
01:15:09.300 The sacrifice that they made
01:15:10.820 In their lives
01:15:12.160 You know
01:15:12.880 Is sustaining
01:15:13.980 The life that we live today
01:15:15.740 It's so powerful
01:15:16.940 And today
01:15:17.860 He brought forth
01:15:19.020 The names of the fallen
01:15:20.200 In the conflicts
01:15:21.620 That they served in
01:15:22.760 As well as
01:15:25.260 The Gold Star families
01:15:27.080 The importance of those
01:15:28.260 Gold Star families
01:15:29.240 And many of the
01:15:31.220 Gold Star families
01:15:32.360 Were there today
01:15:33.380 And recognized
01:15:34.480 And the sacrifice
01:15:35.740 That they make
01:15:37.200 And the continued remembrance
01:15:38.760 And the pain that they bear
01:15:41.040 Every day
01:15:41.780 Is you know
01:15:43.120 I'm so proud
01:15:45.300 That the president
01:15:45.980 Yeah
01:15:46.400 You know
01:15:46.980 Recognized
01:15:47.540 Yeah
01:15:47.820 The current
01:15:50.520 Joe Kent
01:15:51.340 His children
01:15:51.900 From his wife
01:15:53.380 One Gold Star
01:15:54.800 Who was there in spirit
01:15:57.300 But not in person
01:15:58.240 Which I'll
01:15:59.280 Close with
01:16:00.820 Is Tina Peters

01:16:23.800 Her life
01:16:24.860 To save this republic
01:16:26.040 Was
01:16:26.520 A very stirring moment
01:16:28.100 Donald Trump
01:16:28.880 Masterful today
01:16:30.540 In his

01:16:39.080 Steve
01:16:39.320 But I
01:16:39.680 I think it was
01:16:40.600 A very stirring
01:16:41.380 And
01:16:41.700 Stunning address
01:16:43.800 By the president

01:18:29.980 I think
01:18:30.740 And this is where
01:18:31.800 I'm really proud of
01:18:32.520 Both the Denver operation

01:18:45.200 Patrick K. O'Donnell
01:18:47.040 I think
01:18:47.720 And this is the power

01:18:49.660 Live
01:18:50.080 From start to finish
01:18:51.560 They have to be taken

01:19:11.600 Through strength
01:19:12.160 To make sure
01:19:12.640 That we're never

01:19:14.120 Again
01:19:15.160 You've covered this
01:19:16.060 Your entire adult life
01:19:17.580 Like you said
01:19:18.500 You've got
01:19:18.820 4,000 interviews
01:19:20.580 Of the greatest
01:19:22.020 Generation
01:19:22.480 Of which I might say
01:19:23.440 When I made my film
01:19:24.360 The last 600 meters
01:19:25.300 With Michael Packton
01:19:26.180 We screened it
01:19:27.000 For the
01:19:27.860 Force marine recon
01:19:29.680 At Peleliu 0.68
01:19:30.920 And Terawa
01:19:31.520 This was a
01:19:33.080 Movie as you know
01:19:34.100 Well
01:19:34.380 It was about
01:19:34.900 The first
01:19:35.620 Fallujah
01:19:36.480 Najaf
01:19:37.000 And second Fallujah
01:19:37.840 They said hey
01:19:38.660 Steve and Michael
01:19:40.280 Actually
01:19:40.960 These young people
01:19:42.100 This current generation
01:19:43.360 Is the greatest
01:19:44.040 Generation
01:19:44.580 Because I said
01:19:45.440 We were draftees
01:19:46.580 And just clear cut
01:19:48.440 Everything in front of us
01:19:49.420 These young men
01:19:50.660 Got to go door to door
01:19:51.620 You know that
01:19:52.560 From the battles
01:19:53.220 You were a combat
01:19:54.560 Historian in
01:19:55.300 Give me some
01:19:56.060 Closing observations
01:19:57.000 On an incredible weekend
01:19:58.100 West Point
01:19:58.780 And now Arlington
01:19:59.920 National Cemetery
01:20:00.700 President Trump
01:20:01.540 Not just addressing
01:20:02.860 The nation
01:20:03.500 But addressing history
01:20:05.260 And the world
01:20:06.040 Sir
01:20:06.480 The two speeches
01:20:09.860 That President Trump
01:20:10.920 Gave
01:20:11.200 First at West Point
01:20:12.160 And then today
01:20:13.340 These are two
01:20:13.980 Very powerful bookends
01:20:15.340 That represent much
01:20:17.200 And yet
01:20:18.200 Steve as you said
01:20:19.260 You know
01:20:19.760 Freedom isn't free
01:20:21.780 That's the bottom line
01:20:23.180 I've had the
01:20:23.800 Great honor
01:20:24.820 And privilege
01:20:25.460 Of knowing many
01:20:26.880 Many of the heroes
01:20:27.800 Of D-Day
01:20:28.440 The heroes of Bastogne
01:20:30.020 The heroes of the Pacific
01:20:31.040 But also
01:20:32.360 The generation 0.85
01:20:33.400 Of today
01:20:34.380 The Fallujah generation 0.94
01:20:37.380 That I
01:20:38.100 Personally witnessed
01:20:39.600 You know
01:20:41.040 Men and women
01:20:42.080 Specifically some men
01:20:43.640 In the Marine Rifle Platoon
01:20:45.360 That I will never forget
01:20:46.520 The valor
01:20:48.180 And sacrifice
01:20:49.100 That after losing
01:20:50.020 Many of their
01:20:51.280 Key men
01:20:51.980 You know
01:20:52.620 In combat
01:20:53.240 Just go to the next house
01:20:55.700 And continue on
01:20:57.020 And then go from
01:20:58.300 One deployment
01:20:58.960 After another
01:20:59.700 It's just tremendous
01:21:01.640 Sacrifice
01:21:02.400 Which I then
01:21:03.620 Wrote
01:21:04.520 We Were One
01:21:05.380 Which is really
01:21:07.100 That was
