00:00.899 --> 00:04.019
We're celebrating condors from old

00:04.030 --> 00:07.750
generations from Vietnam to the

00:07.760 --> 00:10.170
first part of the Iraq wars to current ,

00:10.180 --> 00:13.069
bring them together telling stories and

00:13.079 --> 00:16.770
celebrating traditions of Cali and

00:16.809 --> 00:18.976
went out to the airfield and looked at

00:18.976 --> 00:21.087
some of their current aircraft , talk

00:21.090 --> 00:24.079
to the pilots cheese .

00:24.610 --> 00:27.250
And then we were to come here to

00:28.030 --> 00:31.479
present our memorial wall . That bill

00:32.130 --> 00:35.599
put together approximately 10 years and

00:36.299 --> 00:40.220
donated to the cave museum here in

00:40.229 --> 00:43.069
the headquarters and uh

00:44.599 --> 00:46.860
make it a give it a permanent home , I

00:46.869 --> 00:48.980
guess is what we were looking to do .

00:50.220 --> 00:52.549
It started a few years ago . Uh I

00:52.560 --> 00:55.849
started posting the pictures of our 35

00:55.860 --> 00:59.439
fallen on Facebook . And I would , you

00:59.450 --> 01:01.729
know , it was the month that they were

01:01.740 --> 01:04.379
killed , I would post their pictures

01:04.690 --> 01:07.190
and it was just my way of trying to

01:07.199 --> 01:09.366
remember these guys because they're so

01:09.366 --> 01:12.250
important . Um And then I was visiting

01:12.260 --> 01:14.639
a friend , Bruce Jamison . Uh he's in

01:14.650 --> 01:16.872
the Navy , but we started talking about

01:16.872 --> 01:18.928
this and before we knew it , we were

01:18.928 --> 01:21.039
talking about building the wall . And

01:21.039 --> 01:23.094
so we did and we , I gave it over to

01:23.094 --> 01:25.206
the association for the reunions that

01:25.206 --> 01:27.372
they have to make sure that these guys

01:27.372 --> 01:29.539
are remembered . And then now with our

01:29.539 --> 01:32.139
aging , we decided to look for a home

01:32.150 --> 01:34.480
in the headquarters here , accepted our

01:34.489 --> 01:37.220
brothers and welcomed them home . And

01:43.260 --> 01:46.620
that means a lot to me . I'm really

01:46.629 --> 01:47.760
appreciative of you guys .
