00:02.640 --> 00:05.740
Yeah , we

00:05.740 --> 00:09.150
recognize every April as sexual assault

00:09.160 --> 00:12.580
awareness and prevention month . Sexual

00:12.580 --> 00:15.450
assault is a crime . In addition ,

00:15.640 --> 00:19.380
sexual harassment , bullying , hazing ,

00:19.390 --> 00:23.250
stalking , racism and extremism are

00:23.250 --> 00:26.350
all unethical and immoral behaviors .

00:27.140 --> 00:29.770
These behaviors corrode the foundation ,

00:29.780 --> 00:32.870
the trust and the bond we all share

00:32.880 --> 00:35.047
serving in the Kentucky National Guard

00:35.047 --> 00:38.820
and as members of our armed forces , we

00:38.820 --> 00:42.260
cannot and must not give up our ethical

00:42.270 --> 00:45.050
and moral high ground . I ask all

00:45.050 --> 00:48.370
members , soldiers , airmen and

00:48.370 --> 00:51.420
civilians of our organization to

00:51.420 --> 00:54.370
recognize the signs of sexual assault

00:54.380 --> 00:57.420
and harassment to execute the personal

00:57.420 --> 01:00.060
courage to deter and prevent these

01:00.060 --> 01:03.030
behaviors and , more importantly , the

01:03.030 --> 01:05.520
courage to speak up and report these

01:05.520 --> 01:08.750
behaviors . So as we begin the month of

01:08.750 --> 01:12.260
April , let us review and renew

01:12.940 --> 01:15.210
our commitment to preventing sexual

01:15.210 --> 01:19.130
harassment and sexual assault and

01:19.130 --> 01:21.480
the other corrosive behaviors . It is

01:21.480 --> 01:24.140
the responsibility and obligation of

01:24.150 --> 01:26.730
every National Guard member , soldier ,

01:26.920 --> 01:30.190
airman and civilian to uphold our

01:30.190 --> 01:33.670
values standards and treat everyone

01:33.680 --> 01:35.960
with dignity and respect .

01:37.740 --> 01:39.360
Yeah , mhm .
