almost eight years and I am proud to be

00:28.810 --> 00:31.550
here . It is my first trip with the

00:31.550 --> 00:33.930
group and I'm even prouder because I

00:33.930 --> 00:36.250
get to be here with my son . It is

00:36.250 --> 00:39.180
really surreal and the chances of this

00:39.180 --> 00:42.620
happening are slim down on so

00:42.630 --> 00:46.050

Yeah , the guy's giving him this chance

00:49.200 --> 00:51.422

where family , friends and leaders from

01:09.780 --> 01:12.590
dinner this afternoon at the ST paul

01:12.590 --> 01:15.140
River Center . It's an operation that

01:15.140 --> 01:17.307
requires a lot of people with a lot of

01:17.307 --> 01:19.473
talents and we found over the over the

01:19.473 --> 01:21.640
course of nine projects it goes pretty

01:21.640 --> 01:23.640
smoothly . We figured out how to do

01:23.640 --> 01:25.973
this . You folks know how to protect us .
