00:05.469 --> 00:07.358
Colonel Christopher Jones and the

00:07.358 --> 00:09.302
brigade commander of First Cavalry

00:09.302 --> 00:11.302
Division Sustainment Brigade . So I

00:11.302 --> 00:13.358
choose to serve because one , I come

00:13.358 --> 00:15.413
from a family of service . My father

00:15.413 --> 00:17.580
was , was in the army . His father was

00:17.580 --> 00:19.580
in World War Two . I got to see the

00:19.580 --> 00:21.636
benefits of not just service and the

00:21.636 --> 00:24.319
ability to serve overseas and interact

00:24.329 --> 00:26.639
with those that , that we defend . Uh

00:26.649 --> 00:30.100
but the purposeful profession that is

00:30.110 --> 00:32.332
uh service in the army . So dignity and

00:32.332 --> 00:34.388
respect . It's that understanding of

00:34.388 --> 00:37.159
the worth of all of us as human beings

00:37.169 --> 00:39.280
as people respect is certainly one of

00:39.280 --> 00:41.336
those things that , that is earned ,

00:41.336 --> 00:43.490
right ? It's a thing that over

00:43.529 --> 00:45.640
repetition and time , you can't build

00:45.640 --> 00:47.640
cohesive teams unless you have that

00:47.640 --> 00:49.751
first and foremost . So at the end of

00:49.751 --> 00:51.696
the day , the cohesive team is the

00:51.696 --> 00:53.918
basis of what makes us the best army in

00:53.918 --> 00:56.029
the world . You know , sh short of 25

00:56.029 --> 00:58.140
years in the army . It's given me the

00:58.140 --> 01:00.085
perspective to understand just how

01:00.085 --> 01:02.307
great of a profession it is and how all

01:02.307 --> 01:04.196
of us have to do our part to , to

01:04.196 --> 01:04.389
continue to grow the army .
