00:01.113 --> 00:03.696
(upbeat music)

00:12.610 --> 00:15.780
- Because of that wave
of events and hurricanes

00:15.780 --> 00:17.933
that struck the United States,

00:19.130 --> 00:21.160
I don't know that there's ever been a time

00:21.160 --> 00:23.760
when people understood and appreciated

00:23.760 --> 00:25.840
the work you do more, every day.

00:25.840 --> 00:28.370
And I know being assigned here in Hawaii,

00:28.370 --> 00:30.790
you're all part of the Indo-Pacific.

00:31.658 --> 00:32.491
But I just have to tell you,

00:32.491 --> 00:35.680
I had the privilege of
speaking at the academy here.

00:35.680 --> 00:36.760
The president and I both attended

00:36.760 --> 00:39.890
the Change of Command Ceremony that's here

00:39.890 --> 00:44.114
and I hope you all think
that is a great reflection

00:44.114 --> 00:46.085
of the deep admiration that not only

00:46.085 --> 00:48.801
the Commander in Chief,
his vice president,

00:48.801 --> 00:51.950
but the American people have
for the job you do every day.

00:51.950 --> 00:55.313
So, thank you for your service.

00:55.313 --> 00:58.477
Thank you to your families who support you

00:58.477 --> 00:59.740
as you serve our nation.

00:59.740 --> 01:02.660
And God bless the U.S. Coast Guard.

01:02.660 --> 01:03.493
Alright?

01:03.493 --> 01:04.874
Thanks everybody.

01:04.874 --> 01:07.124
(applause)

01:12.037 --> 01:13.204
Almost a coin.

01:18.399 --> 01:20.649
(laughing)

01:25.521 --> 01:28.188
