00:01.679 --> 00:03.125
- [Colonel William Gorsuch] It's important to me.

00:03.125 --> 00:05.523
And it's important to me because I was

00:05.523 --> 00:08.766
alive and serving in the Marine Corps during this event.

00:08.766 --> 00:11.627
(pensive piano music)

00:12.149 --> 00:14.031
And I remember being

00:14.031 --> 00:16.266
exactly where I was when this event happened.

00:19.276 --> 00:21.327
(pensive piano music)

00:22.379 --> 00:25.535
So when I had the opportunity to lead
this run with my sergeant major,

00:25.535 --> 00:27.436
I jumped all over it.

00:29.963 --> 00:32.400
This demonstrates to the nation

00:32.400 --> 00:34.255
and to the people of New York

00:34.255 --> 00:37.963
that we have not forgotten as a Marine Corps.

00:37.963 --> 00:40.658
Nothing else can compare to this right here

00:40.658 --> 00:42.161
because of what it stands for,

00:42.161 --> 00:44.645
not only for us as Marines but to the civilians

00:44.645 --> 00:46.588
and the citizens of New York.

00:47.217 --> 00:49.233
To our nation, to our God,

00:49.233 --> 00:52.234
to our country, and to the citizens of the United States.

00:52.234 --> 00:53.615
Always faithful.

00:53.615 --> 00:55.157
Not faithful when I want to be,

00:55.157 --> 00:57.975
not faithful when I think it's okay, not faithful when I'm tired.

00:59.456 --> 01:00.985
Faithful always.

01:02.465 --> 01:04.798
(inspirational music)

01:06.080 --> 01:08.124
But more importantly, as I started,

01:08.124 --> 01:10.276
faithful to the United States Marines

01:10.276 --> 01:13.151
that I serve and that serve with me.
