00:07.140 --> 00:09.040
Navy presented the Navy Superior

00:09.040 --> 00:11.190
Service Award to Dr . and mrs Joseph

00:11.200 --> 00:13.422
Branham in the surrounding uplands that

00:13.422 --> 00:15.367
were used as an open water testing

00:15.367 --> 00:17.478
facility since the late 1950s . Their

00:17.478 --> 00:19.367
hospitality has been tremendous .

00:19.367 --> 00:21.589
They're just delightful people . We owe

00:21.589 --> 00:23.840
a debt of gratitude to the Brand family

00:23.840 --> 00:26.007
for what they've done for the Navy for

00:26.007 --> 00:28.173
the past 60 years , and we're grateful

00:28.173 --> 00:30.284
that we've had this partnership . The

00:30.284 --> 00:32.507
spring on the Brand's property is among

00:32.507 --> 00:34.562
the quietest open water facility for

00:34.562 --> 00:36.562
the Navy to use its Quietness alone

00:36.562 --> 00:38.396
gives the Navy the capability to

00:38.396 --> 00:40.451
conduct critical underwater acoustic

00:40.451 --> 00:42.673
calibrations that are vital to undersea

00:42.673 --> 00:44.451
warfare . I feel that they will

00:44.451 --> 00:46.460
continue to honor the history and

00:46.940 --> 00:49.550
nature of this place when we're gone

00:50.140 --> 00:52.196
from Oklahoma to florida . I'm Petty
