00:00.385 --> 00:03.302
(crowd chattering)

00:13.410 --> 00:16.597
- And we just wanted to say thank you.

00:17.470 --> 00:20.140
How grateful we are for the assistance

00:20.140 --> 00:22.090
you gave to this hospital,

00:22.090 --> 00:26.030
and the assistance you
gave to this community.

00:26.030 --> 00:29.343
To volunteer and serve and help us

00:29.343 --> 00:32.280
and for that our patients survived.

00:32.280 --> 00:35.210
We're a better hospital because of it

00:35.210 --> 00:37.470
and we want you to know that we are not

00:37.470 --> 00:39.860
gonna forget what was
done for this hospital

00:39.860 --> 00:41.930
and this community and this city.

00:41.930 --> 00:46.013
And again, this is simply
our way to say thank you.

00:46.013 --> 00:48.880
(clapping)

00:48.880 --> 00:51.010
- I want you to know you
really made a difference

00:51.010 --> 00:52.548
just in case think you didn't,

00:52.548 --> 00:54.326
you really made a huge difference

00:54.326 --> 00:57.125
to a hard part in
response to this pandemic.

00:57.125 --> 00:59.295
Thank you very much.

00:59.295 --> 01:01.545
(clapping)

01:04.550 --> 01:07.329
- We acknowledge that as military medics

01:07.329 --> 01:10.590
this is what we're built for.

01:10.590 --> 01:12.720
This is what we do.

01:12.720 --> 01:16.640
For our careers, we serve others.

01:16.640 --> 01:19.993
And so when we were told to go, we came.

01:21.060 --> 01:23.300
We came here to Lincoln

01:23.300 --> 01:25.403
within a day or two of hitting the ground.

01:26.530 --> 01:29.006
And you folded us in.

01:29.006 --> 01:30.304
Thank you.

01:30.304 --> 01:32.554
(clapping)

01:33.650 --> 01:35.850
- We are forever in your debt

01:35.850 --> 01:38.788
and, you know, again we thank you

01:38.788 --> 01:42.640
and words can't even describe how we feel

01:42.640 --> 01:44.760
and I hope that you will get back safely

01:44.760 --> 01:46.240
to where you're going.

01:46.240 --> 01:48.960
And hopefully you won't
have to do this again.

01:48.960 --> 01:50.602
Thank you so much.

01:50.602 --> 01:52.852
(clapping)

01:57.751 --> 01:59.546
- Well I wasn't prepared for a speech.

01:59.546 --> 02:00.379
Sorry about that.

02:00.379 --> 02:01.212
(laughter)

02:01.212 --> 02:04.424
But it has been an honor to
come back to this community

02:04.424 --> 02:05.780
where I was born,

02:05.780 --> 02:06.963
well not only just born,

02:06.963 --> 02:09.381
born in this hospital, myself.

02:09.381 --> 02:13.310
Everyone came together
as a team for America.

02:13.310 --> 02:15.320
And we did, we got the job done.

02:15.320 --> 02:17.530
One more thing I wanna say is that

02:17.530 --> 02:19.470
this is the end of my career,

02:19.470 --> 02:21.550
and to come here,

02:21.550 --> 02:23.200
I finished at the top.

02:23.200 --> 02:25.668
I very much am lucky to be here.

02:25.668 --> 02:29.501
(applause drowns out speaker)

02:31.835 --> 02:32.668
Thank you.

02:37.753 --> 02:40.503
(dramatic music)

03:11.635 --> 03:13.968
