Hello , I'm Admiral Bill Houston , the

00:03.099 --> 00:04.766
Director of the Naval Nuclear

00:04.766 --> 00:06.988
Propulsion Program . And today we pause

00:06.988 --> 00:09.043
to honor the brave men and women who

00:09.043 --> 00:12.270
have served our armed forces on this

00:12.279 --> 00:15.600
veterans day . Let us all reflect on

00:15.609 --> 00:19.030
their sacrifices made by our veterans

00:19.319 --> 00:22.520
and their families as we continue to

00:22.530 --> 00:25.290
navigate the challenges of a rapidly

00:25.299 --> 00:28.770
changing world . We must remember that

00:28.780 --> 00:31.280
our strength lies not in our

00:31.290 --> 00:34.270
extraordinary technology and superior

00:34.279 --> 00:36.360
ships and submarines , but in the

00:36.369 --> 00:40.090
dedication and commitment of those who

00:40.099 --> 00:43.479
wear this uniform . Our naval nuclear

00:43.490 --> 00:45.379
propulsion program represents the

00:45.379 --> 00:48.119
pinnacle of innovation and teamwork ,

00:48.520 --> 00:51.759
enabling us to project power and ensure

00:51.770 --> 00:55.560
stability across the globe . Our

00:55.569 --> 00:58.520
connection to the nuclear fleet and

00:58.529 --> 01:01.639
ensuring our navy is able to dominate

01:01.650 --> 01:05.150
the undersea . Reminds us that freedom

01:05.209 --> 01:08.510
is not free , it is secured by those

01:08.519 --> 01:11.580
who have stood the watch before us each

01:11.589 --> 01:14.019
day . We continue to build on their

01:14.029 --> 01:16.699
legacy of service and excellence

01:17.529 --> 01:20.690
together . Let's honor all who have

01:20.699 --> 01:22.866
served in the naval nuclear propulsion

01:22.866 --> 01:26.239
program , the Navy and the armed forces

01:26.540 --> 01:29.290
ensuring their service is always

01:29.300 --> 01:32.750
appreciated and never forgotten . Thank

01:32.760 --> 01:34.589
you and happy Veterans Day .
