really important mission

01:21.160 --> 01:23.380
for the state and for this country.

01:23.380 --> 01:25.510
You helped us wings sustain
a record of outstanding

01:25.510 --> 01:28.255
performance for over 30 years in the F-16.

01:28.255 --> 01:31.103

legacy right there.

03:53.716 --> 03:56.956
- As I stand here and
witness to this new age,

03:56.956 --> 04:01.200
I just want to say just one
thing about this organization.

04:01.200 --> 04:05.162
It took a vision to see
this, it took a track record

04:05.162 --> 04:08.910
of sustained excellent
performance demonstrated

04:08.910 --> 04:13.050
by the 158 fighter wing and
by the Vermont National Guard.

04:13.050 --> 04:15.970
- None of us know what
the future will hold,

04:15.970 --> 04:20.970
except for this, the 158
Fighter Wing will be ready.

04:21.502 --> 04:26.240
We'll be ready with the F-35
to do what our nation calls

04:26.240 --> 04:31.233
upon us to do and we will
do it really, really well.

04:32.970 --> 04:35.530
And future Green Mountain
Boys, they will do

04:35.530 --> 04:36.363
the same thing.

04:37.750 --> 04:41.100
And I could not be more
proud of standing here

04:41.100 --> 04:44.540
at this very moment
celebrating this, I don't

04:44.540 --> 04:46.150
even know what words to
put on this occasion.

04:46.150 --> 04:48.130
This historic event with all of you,

04:48.130 --> 04:49.280
so thank you very much.
