It's an opportunity to recognize and remember all of the service that our veterans have provided in supporting freedom here and abroad. We know that it's challenging times and their service and their commitment to their orders are extremely
006important for our country. I can say that I've benefited greatly and I'm extremely thankful to the military for all of the service and support it's provided our family from being able to own our first home here in California to my participation with the Cadets uh throughout my childhood which led to uh becoming a part of the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps at UC Berkeley which got me into college.

And so in honor of them and all the veterans, I want to say thank you. I also had the opportunity to serve, but the timing didn't go correctly. But I was going to be a chaplain Air Force officer 15 years ago. However, the reason I chose to
008want to serve was to help the families that are separated from those they love. And so, we thank you veterans for serving our countries and for all the women and the children that suffer for more. I thank you for the service. We also say thank you for the alone tribe that lived here before all of us came here to America to recognize them. So we sing this land as your land. In the words of Jane Goodall, [clears throat] she says, "Please take care of this planet earth and protect one another." So we think thank you for being here and celebrating this with us today.
