But 26 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: I wanted to start tonight with some with an opening thought. 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: This Memorial Day, we gather not just to remember, but 28 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: to carry forward a sacred debt. We honor men and 29 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: women we've never known, heiros whose faces will never see, 30 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: whose voices will never hear. Yet those sacrife vices have 31 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: shaped every moment of our lives. They were extraordinary souls 32 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: called to extraordinary courage, leaving behind families, dreams, and futures 33 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: so that we could live in a nation free. From 34 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: the frozen fields of Valley Forge, where patriots shivered for independence, 35 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: to the bloodsiak shores of Normandy, where liberty was reclaimed. 36 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: They fought in the sweltering jungles of Vietnam, the windswept 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: deserts of Iraq, and the rugged mountains of Afghanistan. They 38 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: stood resolute. They faced cannon fire, machine guns, and unseen dangers, 39 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: not for glory, but for us, for the idea that 40 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: freedom is worth everything. We stand in quiet reverence, our 41 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: hearts heavy with gratitude for those we've never known, men 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: and women who've never heard our names, who never saw 43 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: our faces, yet gave their lives so we could live 44 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: in freedom. They were the heartbeat of courage, ordinary Americans 45 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: who became heroes, leaving behind everything they ve to defend 46 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: a nation they believed in. These heroes didn't know our names, 47 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: yet they gave us the right to speak our minds, 48 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: to worship as we chose to chase our dreams without fear. 49 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: Every sunrise, every sunrise we greet in peace, every vote 50 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: we cast, every laugh shared at a summer barbecue, every 51 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: quiet moment with those we love. These are their gifts 52 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: to us. They paid for our today with their tomorrows, 53 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: and their sacrifice echoes in the heartbeat of this nation. 54 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: Imagine them in moments frozen in time. The colonial farmer 55 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: at Bunker Hill, clutching a musket, fighting for a dream 56 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: called America. The sailor at Midway, standing firm on a 57 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: burning ship as the Pacific raged. The paratrooper descending into 58 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: darkness to liberate a continent. The helicopter pilot in Vietnam, 59 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: weaving through gunfire, to rescue the wounded. The soldier in 60 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: Fallujah kicking down doors to protect a fragile peace. The 61 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: medic in Kandahar, kneeling besides a fallen comrade, refusing to 62 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: leave their side. But who were they? They were? The 63 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: young private writing a letter home, promising to return, a 64 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: nurse tending to wounded soldiers under fire, the pilot soaring 65 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: into enemy skies, knowing the odds. They were mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, 66 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: each with hopes and fears, each choosing duty over self. 67 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 1: Their stories may fade, but their legacy indoors in every 68 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: flag that flies, every freedom we hold dear. Their sacrifices 69 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: built the world we know. Because of them. We speak 70 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: our truths without fear. We worship as our heart guides us. 71 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: We vote, we dream, we gather under open skies. We're 72 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: free to love, to laugh, to live. Every child's care 73 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: free run through a park, every family picnic on a 74 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: summer day, every quiet moment of safety we take for granted. 75 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: These are their legacy. They paid for our freedoms with 76 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: their breath, their blood, their tomorrows, ensuring that the flame 77 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: of liberty would burn bright for us and those yet 78 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: to come, pause and consider the weight of their choices. 79 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: Think of the young woman in World War II, a 80 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: nurse in a field hospital, writing a letter to her 81 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: sister by lantern light, her hands stained with the day's work, 82 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: knowing dawn might bring more loss. Picture the father in 83 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Korea staring at a photo of his newborn son, whispering 84 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: a promise to come home even as he marched into 85 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: the snow. See the brother in Afghanistan joking with his 86 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: squad to keep their spirits high, hiding the fear he 87 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: carried for their sake. These were real lives cut short 88 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 1: for all of us, strangers they never met, yet loved 89 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: enough to die for. Their sacrifice is a call to us, 90 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: a challenge to live with intention. We honor them not 91 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: just with flags and flowers, but with action. Teach your 92 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: children the stories of these heroes, not as a distant history, 93 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: but as the foundation of their freedom. Seek out the 94 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: veterans in your community, Listen to their truth, share their burdens, 95 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: and thank them for carrying the weight that most of 96 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: us could never imagine. Stand for the values they defended. Justice, unity, volunteer, vote, 97 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: speak out. Make their sacrifice mean something every day not 98 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: just today on Memorial Day. We can never repay them, 99 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: but we can live with purpose. We can teach our 100 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: children the cost of liberty. We can listen to the 101 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: veterans among us, around us, whose scars bear witness to 102 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: the price of peace. We can pause at the graves 103 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: of the fallen, not just today, but every day, and 104 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: vow to protect the freedoms that they died for. So 105 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: let us stand together this Memorial Day hearts heavy with gratitude, 106 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: and make a promise. We will remember you, We will 107 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: honor you. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, not today, not ever. 108 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: To every hero who gave all known and unknown, we 109 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: say thank you. Because of you, we are free, all right. 110 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Life from Studio six B.
