1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,496 literally in every conflict that the 3 00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:31,870 nation has been in over the last 80 4 00:00:31,870 --> 00:00:34,850 years . This division has led the way 5 00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:38,480 and has been at the forefront of 6 00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:41,190 protecting American interests , on 7 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,422 protecting our countries and supporting 8 00:00:43,422 --> 00:00:45,756 our friends and allies across the globe . 9 00:00:45,756 --> 00:00:48,350 And that really is where we have come 10 00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:51,960 from . E think A So I was 11 00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:54,730 thinking about now is also is , is 12 00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:58,650 where we going next ? And and I 13 00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:01,010 think I feel a lot of times I feel 14 00:01:01,150 --> 00:01:04,950 really similar to whoever the division 15 00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:07,006 Commander Waas when the division was 16 00:01:07,006 --> 00:01:09,360 founded , I feel a little bit the same . 17 00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:11,980 Is that what it would have been like to 18 00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:14,036 have been the commander of the first 19 00:01:14,036 --> 00:01:16,130 Marine Division in 1941 knowing that 20 00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:19,390 that war was coming ? And unfortunately , 21 00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:22,890 I think we have way have returned to a 22 00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:26,090 place where great power wars is yet 23 00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:29,340 again , a very real possibility . So I 24 00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:31,517 literally I wake up every day thinking 25 00:01:31,517 --> 00:01:33,610 that and making sure that the first 26 00:01:33,610 --> 00:01:36,130 Marine Division is gonna be fit for 27 00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:39,040 purpose and is gonna be ready for the 28 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,860 challenges that are yet to come
