79 years ago , the fates of , er , and

00:08.550 --> 00:10.439
the 101st airborne division would

00:10.439 --> 00:12.510
become intertwined forever and would

00:12.520 --> 00:14.770
not only shape the course of history

00:15.199 --> 00:17.530
but would forever connect two

00:17.540 --> 00:18.430
communities

00:22.280 --> 00:25.010
in our own way on our own mother's

00:25.020 --> 00:28.209
scale . We too must make our

00:28.219 --> 00:32.090
contribution by thinking by not judging

00:32.099 --> 00:35.979
too quickly , by not excluding , by not

finally , we ought to remember that

00:50.819 --> 00:54.369
freedom is not guaranteed . We've been

00:54.380 --> 00:57.169
gifted a responsibility that when

00:57.180 --> 00:59.529
freedom is threatened , we must be

00:59.540 --> 01:03.380
committed to preserve it , to defend it

01:03.619 --> 01:07.349
and if necessary to die for it , that

01:07.360 --> 01:10.319
is what we ought to do . Don .

01:11.540 --> 01:13.484
And finally , as I have learned in

01:13.484 --> 01:16.839
recent days here in to how to
