00:01.760 --> 00:04.690
- [Announcer] On June 25, 1996,

00:04.690 --> 00:07.270
a terrorist bomb exploded
outside the northern perimeter

00:07.270 --> 00:09.713
of Khobar Towers, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia,

00:10.690 --> 00:13.380
a facility which housed United
States and allied forces

00:13.380 --> 00:15.963
supporting the coalition
air operations over Iraq.

00:18.380 --> 00:21.670
Today we gather to commemorate
the 19 brave warriors,

00:21.670 --> 00:23.810
including 12 valiant Nomads,

00:23.810 --> 00:26.380
who made the ultimate
sacrifice defending our freedom

00:26.380 --> 00:28.720
during this attack 22 years ago.

00:28.720 --> 00:30.460
- [Eulogist] To those who are also with us

00:30.460 --> 00:32.490
that survived that dreadful night,

00:32.490 --> 00:34.180
and those who find themselves connected

00:34.180 --> 00:37.010
to this reunion of sorts,
this hallowed occasion,

00:37.010 --> 00:39.950
may your divine blessings pour over them,

00:39.950 --> 00:42.130
and may your streams of mercy and peace

00:42.130 --> 00:45.250
that run from your
infinite oasis fill them,

00:45.250 --> 00:46.900
and guard their hearts and minds

00:46.900 --> 00:49.774
during this service of remembrance.
