00:03.900 --> 00:05.470
- My name is Janson D. Boyles

00:05.470 --> 00:06.630
and I am the Adjutant General

00:06.630 --> 00:08.133
for the state of Mississippi.

00:09.110 --> 00:13.300
I represent over 12,000 men and
women who wear this uniform.

00:13.300 --> 00:15.160
Who provide defense for our country

00:15.160 --> 00:17.543
and also provide domestic
response when needed.

00:19.631 --> 00:22.080
Over my shoulder is a Liberty Bell,

00:22.080 --> 00:25.350
it is a symbol of our independence.

00:25.350 --> 00:26.183
This was the bell

00:26.183 --> 00:28.110
that rang over our Independence Hall

00:28.110 --> 00:30.430
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

00:30.430 --> 00:32.530
when the founders of our country framed

00:32.530 --> 00:34.280
a declaration of independence

00:35.440 --> 00:36.843
and our constitution.

00:37.690 --> 00:41.870
It is a reminder to all citizens

00:41.870 --> 00:44.030
that through our prosperity,

00:44.030 --> 00:46.310
that through our challenges,

00:46.310 --> 00:49.280
in all things that we
accomplish as a country,

00:49.280 --> 00:50.113
it is a reminder

00:50.113 --> 00:52.890
that we have this same
foundation of independence

00:53.980 --> 00:57.623
that we have prepared this
country for over 200 years ago.

00:59.330 --> 01:03.250
Congratulations to the
Republic of Uzbekistan

01:03.250 --> 01:06.223
for celebrating 29 years of independence.

01:07.490 --> 01:09.970
We support your country's sovereignty

01:10.840 --> 01:12.960
and its independence.

01:12.960 --> 01:16.460
And also congratulations
to President Mirziyoyev

01:16.460 --> 01:19.050
in his four years, in his tenure

01:19.050 --> 01:23.030
as president of the
Republic of Uzbekistan.

01:23.030 --> 01:26.150
Mississippi continues and is honored

01:26.150 --> 01:28.810
to be a partner with Uzbekistan,

01:28.810 --> 01:30.720
both in economic development

01:30.720 --> 01:34.173
and in military to military
training exchanges.

01:35.100 --> 01:36.550
In the past year,

01:36.550 --> 01:39.760
we have participated in many ways,

01:39.760 --> 01:41.330
in noteworthy ways,

01:41.330 --> 01:43.550
to prepare both of our armed forces

01:43.550 --> 01:46.693
to be better postured in
defense of our countries.

01:48.080 --> 01:50.580
I also wanna tell you
that I hope Uzbekistan

01:51.420 --> 01:52.903
has a prosperous year,

01:54.380 --> 01:56.790
as Mississippi, the United States

01:56.790 --> 02:00.240
and Uzbekistan continue
to face the challenges

02:00.240 --> 02:02.363
of this COVID-19 response.

02:03.410 --> 02:06.610
Congratulations again
on your independence.

02:06.610 --> 02:10.170
We fully support you
in any way that we can.

02:10.170 --> 02:11.423
Godspeed to you.
