I am just deeply 10:34.430 --> 10:36.430 honored to be with all of you and I 10:36.430 --> 10:38.652 don't know if you heard when Helen came 10:38.652 --> 10:41.190 up on behalf of the family . Uh , she 10:41.200 --> 10:43.422 looked at the Major and said , I've got 10:43.422 --> 10:46.570 this and it makes me think of what this 10:46.570 --> 10:48.850 family did from the beginning . You 10:48.850 --> 10:50.850 know , you don't choose things that 10:50.850 --> 10:52.683 happened , but I hope the family 10:52.683 --> 10:55.150 members that are here , uh , James 10:55.150 --> 10:57.010 Rogers , Charles , nord court 10:57.010 --> 11:00.440 Plattenburg , um those that were their 11:00.440 --> 11:02.551 friends and loved ones know that this 11:02.551 --> 11:04.860 family who you never knew you would 11:04.860 --> 11:08.590 ever meet . Um it's got this and um , 11:08.600 --> 11:10.810 they helped spearhead this Ruppert 11:10.810 --> 11:13.390 along with our National Guard who were 11:13.390 --> 11:15.720 so proud of . I would like to remind 11:15.720 --> 11:17.720 them that I was once at an event in 11:17.720 --> 11:19.887 Washington when the head of the entire 11:19.887 --> 11:21.942 National Guard announced in front of 11:21.942 --> 11:24.109 all the National Guard commanders that 11:24.109 --> 11:26.220 Minnesota had the best National Guard 11:26.220 --> 11:28.550 in the country . Um and we look at the 11:28.550 --> 11:32.460 best of the best and it is very 11:32.460 --> 11:36.180 difficult because we all know that we 11:36.180 --> 11:39.490 lost them way too young . And I was 11:39.500 --> 11:42.550 able to attend one of the funerals for 11:42.560 --> 11:45.250 Chief warrant officer Rogers and I 11:45.250 --> 11:47.680 could see the fullness and richness of 11:47.680 --> 11:50.290 his life , but also heard about the 11:50.290 --> 11:54.100 other family members . So this memorial 11:54.110 --> 11:56.260 is a tribute to these three heroes , 11:56.260 --> 11:59.210 but it's also a tribute to the kindness , 11:59.210 --> 12:01.530 the compassion , the empathy and the 12:01.530 --> 12:03.752 love of country from the people in this 12:03.752 --> 12:06.220 community and from the crypt family , 12:06.220 --> 12:08.387 they stepped forward immediately after 12:08.387 --> 12:10.320 this tragedy with their temporary 12:10.320 --> 12:13.400 flagpole really captured the hearts of 12:13.400 --> 12:15.800 all of Minnesota when they did that and 12:15.800 --> 12:17.930 raised the stars and stripes above a 12:17.930 --> 12:21.650 snow covered field . Their compassion 12:21.660 --> 12:23.740 is a reminder of what is best in 12:23.740 --> 12:26.970 America . They understood that we need 12:26.970 --> 12:28.970 in the middle of their farm field , 12:28.970 --> 12:31.420 that we needed a connection for 12:31.420 --> 12:33.900 grieving and reflection . We have those 12:33.900 --> 12:35.733 in Washington . We have a lot of 12:35.733 --> 12:38.060 monuments but we also need more of them 12:38.070 --> 12:40.590 in fields like this . We have this 12:40.590 --> 12:43.260 special place now in this farm field 12:43.740 --> 12:46.230 below this blue sky where we can 12:46.230 --> 12:50.170 remember these wonderful men . Yeah , I 12:50.170 --> 12:52.281 think of this little baby here in the 12:52.281 --> 12:55.050 front and all the green coming up in 12:55.050 --> 12:57.110 the spring with us today and you're 12:57.110 --> 12:59.710 reminded that things start a fresh all 12:59.710 --> 13:01.821 the time . And that's a good reminder 13:01.821 --> 13:03.932 to have right now . But still for the 13:03.932 --> 13:06.240 families there will always be a hole in 13:06.240 --> 13:09.600 their hearts every day in every part of 13:09.600 --> 13:11.767 the world . American men and women put 13:11.767 --> 13:14.060 on their uniform to serve our country 13:14.440 --> 13:16.551 and whether they are close to home or 13:16.551 --> 13:18.773 overseas , they also put their lives on 13:18.773 --> 13:21.110 the line . Many have left husbands or 13:21.110 --> 13:24.120 wives and kids of all ages to fulfill 13:24.120 --> 13:26.350 their duty in protecting our country . 13:27.140 --> 13:30.460 Chief warrant Officer nor not only left 13:30.840 --> 13:34.110 His then two year old daughter , but 13:34.110 --> 13:36.510 also a beautiful son . He never got to 13:36.510 --> 13:40.000 meet his . These two Children will grow 13:40.000 --> 13:42.056 up knowing that their dad was a true 13:42.056 --> 13:44.056 hero . But we must all remember the 13:44.056 --> 13:46.460 sacrifices that the North's and other 13:46.460 --> 13:48.930 families have made and will continue to 13:48.930 --> 13:51.550 make for the security of our nation . 13:51.940 --> 13:54.380 We sleep better every single night 13:54.390 --> 13:56.223 because we know that our service 13:56.223 --> 13:58.680 members are continually there for us . 13:58.690 --> 14:00.590 Our guard members are ready for 14:00.590 --> 14:03.070 deployment any hour of the day . 14:03.080 --> 14:07.050 Our garden reserves are providing much 14:07.050 --> 14:09.330 needed help on everything from natural 14:09.330 --> 14:11.530 disasters like floods , hurricanes and 14:11.530 --> 14:13.900 tornadoes , to building and staffing 14:13.900 --> 14:15.960 mobile hospitals and testing and 14:15.960 --> 14:18.640 vaccination centres during pandemics , 14:18.650 --> 14:21.370 to deploying to places all around the 14:21.370 --> 14:24.250 world as a nation as a state , we have 14:24.250 --> 14:27.350 an obligation to wrap our arms around 14:27.350 --> 14:29.650 those who serve and sacrifice for us . 14:30.640 --> 14:33.600 On this upcoming memorial day . We will 14:33.600 --> 14:37.460 honor James and Charles and court and 14:37.470 --> 14:40.300 all those with that spirit of duty that 14:40.300 --> 14:42.540 never wavered even during the most 14:42.540 --> 14:46.100 difficult times . Um For me , like so 14:46.100 --> 14:47.878 many gathered here today , this 14:47.878 --> 14:49.690 memorial day will be even more 14:49.690 --> 14:51.860 meaningful because I just lost my dad 14:51.870 --> 14:54.890 who was a veteran um and will be buried 14:54.890 --> 14:58.040 at Fort Snelling next weekend , next to 14:58.040 --> 15:00.790 so many heroes . And he often wrote 15:00.790 --> 15:03.560 about the ordinary people that did 15:03.560 --> 15:06.390 extraordinary things and I can't think 15:06.390 --> 15:09.360 of a better description of our veterans 15:09.360 --> 15:11.249 and those who serve our country , 15:11.249 --> 15:14.110 including those who have come today um 15:14.110 --> 15:18.090 on this afternoon . Ordinary people 15:18.110 --> 15:20.970 doing extraordinary things . It's been 15:20.970 --> 15:23.330 said that a nation that forgets its 15:23.330 --> 15:26.280 defenders will itself be forgotten . We 15:26.280 --> 15:28.447 tell the world who we are as a country 15:28.447 --> 15:30.880 about how we honor our fallen heroes 15:30.890 --> 15:33.210 and that's what the crypt owners with 15:33.210 --> 15:35.680 the families of those that we have lost 15:35.690 --> 15:38.160 and what all of you have done today . 15:38.440 --> 15:41.270 It's a reminder of our great depth to 15:41.270 --> 15:43.460 those who made the ultimate sacrifice 15:43.460 --> 15:46.060 for us and our democracy , to the 15:46.060 --> 15:48.230 spirit of these three men and to 15:48.240 --> 15:50.240 everyone who has sacrificed for our 15:50.240 --> 15:52.407 country .
