Hi , I am Captain Natasha Syski and I

00:03.829 --> 00:06.929
am part of the US Army's 4/50 Civil

00:06.940 --> 00:09.750
Affairs Battalion in uniform . I stand

00:09.760 --> 00:11.927
as a testament to the diversity within

00:11.927 --> 00:14.909
our military ranks . Our American armed

00:14.920 --> 00:17.459
forces come from every corner , every

00:17.469 --> 00:20.469
creed and every culture united by our

00:20.479 --> 00:22.535
unwavering commitment to service and

00:22.535 --> 00:25.670
sacrifice . As we embark on the secret

00:25.680 --> 00:27.979
journey of Ramadan together , I extend

00:27.989 --> 00:30.469
my warmest wishes to my fellow Muslims ,

00:30.579 --> 00:33.029
to all uniformed service members and to

00:33.040 --> 00:36.110
civilians everywhere . Ramadan is a

00:36.119 --> 00:38.250
time of reflection , compassion and

00:38.259 --> 00:40.990
community . It's a time when we renew

00:41.000 --> 00:43.380
our faith , strengthen our bonds and

00:43.389 --> 00:46.380
strive for greater understanding in our

00:46.389 --> 00:48.810
military family . We embody ideals of

00:48.819 --> 00:51.360
humanity demonstrating that strength

00:51.369 --> 00:53.770
lies in our differences and unity in

00:53.779 --> 00:57.330
our shared purpose . So as we embark on

00:57.340 --> 00:59.509
this month of fasting prayer and self

00:59.520 --> 01:01.860
reflection , let us remember the values

01:01.869 --> 01:04.859
that bind us together as one , Ramadan

01:04.869 --> 01:07.208
Mubarak to each and every one of you

01:07.228 --> 01:09.378
may this holy month bring you peace ,

01:09.388 --> 01:12.009
prosperity and blessings beyond measure .

01:12.598 --> 01:14.448
As Salam Ali Mutula , I beca
