00:12.907 --> 00:14.629
during an unannounced visit to

00:14.629 --> 00:16.740
Afghanistan . Reason that the Afghans

have an opportunity for a new tomorrow

00:19.030 --> 00:21.400
is because of you , and the reason

00:21.630 --> 00:24.870
America it's safe is because of you .

00:25.540 --> 00:27.484
I could not be prouder of you . In

00:27.484 --> 00:29.707

00:59.337 --> 01:01.448

01:01.448 --> 01:03.281
hands marking his third visit to

01:03.281 --> 01:05.170
Afghanistan , Tech Sergeant David
