00:00.009 --> 00:01.953
My name is Hannah Palmer and I was

00:01.953 --> 00:04.176
swearing into the Army National Guard .

00:04.176 --> 00:05.960
Um , I'm a 15 papa , which is a

00:05.969 --> 00:09.279
aviation operating specialist and I'll

00:09.289 --> 00:11.345
be working with Black Hawks . Pretty

00:11.345 --> 00:13.680
excited for that . Um I wanted to

00:13.689 --> 00:16.809
continue my father's legacy in it and

00:16.819 --> 00:19.100
National Guard made it towards , I

00:19.110 --> 00:21.260
could still serve and do some college

00:21.270 --> 00:23.719
as well . And then I might go fully

00:23.729 --> 00:26.659
active after that . My father took such

00:26.670 --> 00:28.837
pride in serving for this country . It

00:28.837 --> 00:31.003
was his first priority with everything

00:31.003 --> 00:33.279
and he just really enjoyed it . And

00:33.290 --> 00:35.630
unfortunately , he , um , got taken

00:35.639 --> 00:38.139
away from us too soon and I know he

00:38.150 --> 00:40.279
would have loved to be a part of this

00:40.290 --> 00:42.520
and see me swearing and everything . I

00:42.529 --> 00:44.585
just want to continue to fight for ,

00:44.585 --> 00:47.290
for what he lost his life for . Um ,

00:47.430 --> 00:49.500
unbelievable . Uh I know he's a very

00:49.509 --> 00:51.869
busy man and I appreciate so much that

00:51.880 --> 00:54.759
he took time out of his day to swear

00:54.770 --> 00:57.860
someone like me . And um , it's such an

00:57.869 --> 01:00.036
honor . I don't have words to describe

01:00.036 --> 01:02.459
the feelings I'm experiencing right now .

01:03.990 --> 01:06.101
The thing I'm looking forward to most

01:06.101 --> 01:08.589
is , um , the experiences , meeting all

01:08.599 --> 01:10.669
the people and seeing what my father

01:10.680 --> 01:12.930
loves about , loved about it so much ,

01:13.440 --> 01:15.551
I think he would be . I think he , he

01:15.551 --> 01:17.718
knows how stubborn I am . He knows I'm

01:17.718 --> 01:19.884
a perfect fit for this and he would be

01:19.884 --> 01:21.996
cheering me on . I can guarantee that

01:21.996 --> 01:22.050
for you .
