00:00.000 --> 00:03.560
The village of was one of the crucial

00:03.570 --> 00:06.680
battle bounds during market garden . So

00:06.690 --> 00:09.400
between the 17th and 20 for this was

00:09.400 --> 00:10.500
held on Earth .

00:16.010 --> 00:17.010
Yeah ,

00:21.840 --> 00:22.200
well

00:45.640 --> 00:47.862
We have all the people of here . When I

00:47.862 --> 00:50.030
say that the word appreciation applies

00:50.030 --> 00:52.670
to you all you dedicate your lives to

00:52.670 --> 00:54.870
preserving and restoring peace and

00:54.870 --> 00:56.981
freedom wherever in the world you are

00:56.981 --> 00:59.150
needed . Which is always far away from

00:59.150 --> 01:02.990
home . September 17 , for our

01:03.000 --> 01:06.340
country was at war the people of earth

01:06.350 --> 01:08.280
had gathered in the church in the

01:08.280 --> 01:11.350
morning to pray messages from France

01:11.350 --> 01:14.000
and Belgium made it , made it known

01:14.000 --> 01:16.480
that the liberators were on their way .

01:17.440 --> 01:20.370
And let's stand for freedom , justice

01:20.380 --> 01:23.970
and humanity here in europe and beyond .

01:24.900 --> 01:28.450
I am honored to be with you to pay

01:28.460 --> 01:31.700
tribute to the 101st Airborne Division ,

01:31.710 --> 01:34.160
The destruction of World War Two did

01:34.160 --> 01:37.630
not spell the end for area because the

01:37.640 --> 01:41.260
people quite literally came together to

01:41.270 --> 01:45.160
build a better future . But even as

01:45.160 --> 01:48.280
we gather here together once again we

01:48.280 --> 01:50.169
see clouds of four on the edge of

01:50.169 --> 01:52.820
europe , just a couple hours flight

01:52.830 --> 01:55.270
from here we see the same kind of

01:55.280 --> 01:58.280
battle raging in Ukraine , the same

01:58.280 --> 02:00.336
kind of battle that all of our brave

02:00.336 --> 02:02.447
soldiers were fighting for right here

02:02.447 --> 02:04.724
in the Netherlands during World War II ,

02:05.390 --> 02:08.850
an autocratic aggressive country is

02:08.860 --> 02:11.230
tearing up its neighbor and pursuing

02:11.230 --> 02:14.180
conquest through war . Peace is not

02:14.180 --> 02:16.480
something we take lightly and the

02:16.480 --> 02:18.480
soldiers joining me from the second

02:18.480 --> 02:20.480
Brigade combat team the five Second

02:20.480 --> 02:22.591
Entry and the 101st Airborne Division

02:22.591 --> 02:24.647
air assault tonight represent just a

02:24.647 --> 02:26.647
small detachment of american armies

02:26.647 --> 02:28.591
returned to europe , defending the

02:28.591 --> 02:30.591
peace that our World War two heroes

02:30.591 --> 02:32.591
worked so hard to secure during the

02:32.591 --> 02:34.702
battles we commemorate this weekend .

02:35.210 --> 02:37.266
These pre medial soldiers embody our

02:37.266 --> 02:39.099
enduring commitment to the north

02:39.099 --> 02:41.210
atlantic treaty organization and they

02:41.210 --> 02:42.821
probably stand alongside the

02:42.821 --> 02:44.988
Netherlands and the rest of our eyes ,

02:44.988 --> 02:47.210
just as they did during World War Two ,

02:47.210 --> 02:50.530
the Cold War Afghanistan and Iraq . It

02:50.530 --> 02:52.910
moves us deeply when we hear and learn

02:52.920 --> 02:56.510
about war in our country . Other

02:56.510 --> 02:59.930
countries involved , we are very proud

02:59.940 --> 03:02.300
of the people who helped to liberate

03:02.630 --> 03:05.760
our country , the sacrifice . That's

03:05.760 --> 03:08.590
the life for our freedom . We are

03:08.600 --> 03:11.950
allowed by the visit of visits

03:12.570 --> 03:16.520
to our school and even repressed by our

03:16.530 --> 03:18.474
class , is hoping that no one will

03:18.474 --> 03:20.690
suffer the same as in World War II .
