00:00.550 --> 00:03.220
- Well, I think for many
American service member,

00:03.220 --> 00:06.670
serving today, their only
memories of this country

00:06.670 --> 00:10.620
are 1999 and conducting
operations against Serbia.

00:10.620 --> 00:14.890
But in fact, this
anniversary helps us remember

00:14.890 --> 00:18.320
that the depth of our
relations go much further back.

00:18.320 --> 00:20.340
And in fact, in most of our history,

00:20.340 --> 00:23.830
we have been allies,
we have been partners.

00:23.830 --> 00:26.660
Americans and Serbs stood
shoulder-to-shoulder

00:26.660 --> 00:27.840
in World War I.

00:27.840 --> 00:30.500
We stood shoulder-to-shoulder
in World War II,

00:30.500 --> 00:32.710
and this 75th anniversary
is an opportunity,

00:32.710 --> 00:34.800
not only to recall that past,

00:34.800 --> 00:37.430
but also to begin building the foundations

00:37.430 --> 00:38.760
for a new future together,

00:38.760 --> 00:41.893
as we face joint challenges
for the 21st Century.
