00:00We come together today to mourn the loss of brave Americans, to share the grief that we all feel, and perhaps in that sharing to find the strength to bear our sorrow and the courage to look for the seeds of hope.
00:30Remember them as they lived, bringing life and love and joy to those who knew them and pride to a nation.
00:51The story of all human progress is one of a struggle against all odds.
00:59We learned again that this America, which Abraham Lincoln called the last best hope of man on earth, was built on heroism and noble sacrifice.
01:11It was built by men and women who answered a call beyond duty, who gave more than was expected or required, and who gave it little thought of worldly reward.
01:24Today, the frontier is space and the boundaries of human knowledge.
01:34Sometimes when we reach for the stars, we fall short, but we must pick ourselves up again and press on, despite the pain.
01:43Our nation is indeed fortunate that we can still draw on immense reservoirs of courage, character and fortitude.
01:58Your families and your country mourn your passing.
02:13We bid you goodbye.
02:15We will never forget you.
02:17We will never forget you.
