2
00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:06,651
Ladies and gentlemen , we gather here 

3
00:00:06,651 --> 00:00:08,873
to honor the memory of the young heroes 

4
00:00:08,873 --> 00:00:10,929
that gave their lives over 103 years 

5
00:00:10,929 --> 00:00:12,873
ago . While the events of the last 

6
00:00:12,873 --> 00:00:15,096
century have transformed our nation's , 

7
00:00:15,096 --> 00:00:16,929
their deeds still resonate their 

8
00:00:16,929 --> 00:00:18,984
devotion to duty . Their sacrifice , 

9
00:00:18,984 --> 00:00:20,984
the courage to continue serves as a 

10
00:00:20,984 --> 00:00:22,984
stark reminder that freedom must be 

11
00:00:22,984 --> 00:00:25,207
paid for . It must be protected to walk 

12
00:00:25,207 --> 00:00:27,440
laws in the nine mar today and look out 

13
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,273
at the headstones of those brave 

14
00:00:29,273 --> 00:00:31,329
marines , sailors and soldiers , how 

15
00:00:31,329 --> 00:00:33,440
can you not be humbled ? Humanity has 

16
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,496
never seen such destruction . It was 

17
00:00:35,496 --> 00:00:37,496
rocked by the First World War . Yet 

18
00:00:37,496 --> 00:00:39,440
here on this ground they faced the 

19
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,551
worst of it . I find it quite fitting 

20
00:00:41,551 --> 00:00:43,440
that in the same place , it is so 

21
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,607
peaceful . The alliance between France 

22
00:00:45,607 --> 00:00:47,662
the United States is and will remain 

23
00:00:47,662 --> 00:00:49,980
strong And it served as a bedrock for a 

24
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:52,147
greater reliance built on nations that 

25
00:00:52,147 --> 00:00:55,690
once fought his enemies for the first 

26
00:00:55,690 --> 00:00:57,690
time . In the 99th , we brought the 

27
00:00:57,690 --> 00:00:59,801
Germans in there and there's a lot of 

28
00:00:59,801 --> 00:01:01,857
skepticism just because they were on 

29
00:01:01,857 --> 00:01:04,023
the other side of the line during that 

30
00:01:04,023 --> 00:01:06,246
time . But now there is a great ally of 

31
00:01:06,246 --> 00:01:08,468
ours and I think it helps us learn from 

32
00:01:08,468 --> 00:01:10,579
our past , move forward to our future 

33
00:01:10,579 --> 00:01:12,634
and celebrate the alliance's . We do 

34
00:01:12,634 --> 00:01:14,634
have with all of our key allies and 

35
00:01:14,634 --> 00:01:16,690
partners and just seeing that shared 

36
00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:18,857
history bonds us together even greater 

37
00:01:18,857 --> 00:01:21,150
as we go towards the future , as we 

38
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:23,317
reflect upon the sacrifices of our men 

39
00:01:23,317 --> 00:01:25,094
and women in uniform . The true 

40
00:01:25,094 --> 00:01:27,317
testament to their valor is not only in 

41
00:01:27,317 --> 00:01:29,372
monuments and peaceful cemeteries we 

42
00:01:29,372 --> 00:01:31,539
have erected in their honor , it is in 

43
00:01:31,539 --> 00:01:33,317
the security , the freedom that 

44
00:01:33,317 --> 00:01:35,206
followed our way of life is worth 

45
00:01:35,206 --> 00:01:35,000
defending . It's worth defending 

46
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,667
forward . Just never forget , 

47
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:39,060
