00:16.800 --> 00:18.967
welcomed by our company commander that

00:18.967 --> 00:21.078
morning and informed that America has

00:21.078 --> 00:23.189
just been attacked and that the alarm

01:00.907 --> 01:02.796
sure we're ready for whatever our

01:02.796 --> 01:05.430
nation called us And I think that was

01:05.430 --> 01:07.486
the most important thing and gave us

01:07.486 --> 01:09.750
purpose Organization moving past

01:09.760 --> 01:13.440
September 11 , 2001 , Not less than 30

01:13.440 --> 01:16.630

01:48.420 --> 01:50.840
have come before us and the continued
