00:00We gather today to honor the incredible service members who rest in glory in this
00:07cemetery and burial grounds around the world and in a thousand lonely places known only to God.
00:15In every hour of peril, in every moment of crisis, American warriors have left behind
00:20the blessings of home and family to answer their nation's call. They've offered all that they had
00:27within them and given their last breaths to each and every one of us that we might live safe
00:35and breathe free. This morning, we pay tribute to their immortal deeds. We share in the sorrow of
00:44their beloved families. And as one nation, we give thanks for the ultimate gift they have
00:50so selflessly given to all of us. These warriors, and that's what they are, is great, great warriors
00:57picked up their mantle of duty and service, knowing that to live for others meant always
01:03that they might die for others. They knew that. They asked nothing for it. They gave everything,
01:11and we owe them everything and much, much more.
01:15Thank you, Lord.
