Hello everyone and greetings from space .

00:04.273 --> 00:06.273
I'm mike awesome . The commander of

00:06.273 --> 00:07.773
Expedition 29 on board the

00:07.773 --> 00:09.940
International space station , which is

00:09.940 --> 00:11.950
all of you , all the best from 230

00:11.950 --> 00:14.710
miles above the earth . My crew mates

00:14.710 --> 00:16.932
and I depend on mission control and our

00:16.932 --> 00:18.821
ground support team to support us

00:18.821 --> 00:21.043
during our mission . But it wasn't long

00:21.043 --> 00:23.210
ago that the USO was providing me with

00:23.210 --> 00:25.099
support along with our colleagues

00:25.099 --> 00:27.210
defending our country during our time

00:27.210 --> 00:29.266
in the military . I knew very little

00:29.266 --> 00:31.154
about the U . S . So when I first

00:31.154 --> 00:33.377
joined the military but they were there

00:33.377 --> 00:33.330
when I needed them during a family

00:33.330 --> 00:35.552
emergency as a young lieutenant . And I

00:35.552 --> 00:38.210
can never thank them enough . Now I

00:38.210 --> 00:40.321
know the U . S . S . Mission is vital

00:40.321 --> 00:42.488
to the continued morale and welfare of

00:42.488 --> 00:44.321
service members across the world

00:44.321 --> 00:46.377
wherever they might be . I'd like to

00:46.377 --> 00:48.860
raise a toast to the usos 1st 70 years

00:49.540 --> 00:51.860
and wish the US so many spectacular

00:51.860 --> 00:52.750
years in the future .
