members of the three 45th are the

00:44.140 --> 00:46.307
reason it is so successful . We shared

00:46.307 --> 00:48.418
in good times and challenging times ,

00:48.418 --> 00:50.418
but one thing remained consistent .

00:50.418 --> 00:52.529
Your dedication to the missions given

01:07.190 --> 01:09.760
place that I recognized very quickly

01:10.140 --> 01:12.140

01:12.140 --> 01:14.410
special formation in the guard of

01:14.410 --> 01:16.620
veteran formation . And if you don't

01:16.620 --> 01:18.287
