00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:13,820
pancho knee as we celebrate our Navy's 

4
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:15,653
birthday and we take a moment to 

5
00:00:15,653 --> 00:00:18,270
recognize the strength , the resolve 

6
00:00:18,670 --> 00:00:20,837
and the dedication of those standing , 

7
00:00:20,837 --> 00:00:24,490
the watch on under and above the sea 

8
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:26,690
and on the land . Our brave men and 

9
00:00:26,690 --> 00:00:28,857
women have always been ready to defend 

10
00:00:28,857 --> 00:00:31,023
our nation . They have also selflessly 

11
00:00:31,023 --> 00:00:33,079
ensured the safety and prosperity of 

12
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:35,190
Americans and our allies and partners 

13
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:37,660
around the world . Together we continue 

14
00:00:37,660 --> 00:00:39,660
to stand the watch and prepare for 

15
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:42,860
combat 24 hours a day , seven days a 

16
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:46,400
week as we have for the past 247 

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,550
years , there has never been a more 

18
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:50,450
critical time to serve . Fierce 

19
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:52,300
competition is reality and it's 

20
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:54,300
challenging our way of life and the 

21
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,030
rules based international order . Our 

22
00:00:57,030 --> 00:00:59,880
navy remains on call as we always have 

23
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,200
and on watch to protect the freedom of 

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,050
the seas that's vital to the stability 

25
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:06,790
of the world and through every 

26
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:08,970
deployment in every mission , there's 

27
00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:11,200
our families help keep us grounded and 

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,367
during separations and shouldering the 

29
00:01:13,367 --> 00:01:15,478
day to day responsibilities at home . 

30
00:01:15,610 --> 00:01:17,777
They stay in a different kind of watch 

31
00:01:17,850 --> 00:01:20,017
and we are forever grateful . We would 

32
00:01:20,017 --> 00:01:22,128
not be the world's greatest navy . We 

33
00:01:22,128 --> 00:01:24,780
are today without them . So while our 

34
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:26,836
ships or submarines and our aircraft 

35
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:29,500
bring that firepower . It's our sailors , 

36
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,170
our Navy civilians and their families 

37
00:01:32,180 --> 00:01:35,200
who bring our force to life . They are 

38
00:01:35,210 --> 00:01:37,043
at the heart of today's birthday 

39
00:01:37,043 --> 00:01:39,800
celebration . So today for the seen and 

40
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,550
unseen responsibilities you all carry 

41
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:44,630
for the daily sacrifices you make . 

42
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:48,040
Thank you happy . birthday 

43
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,984
shipmates and we'll see you in the 

44
00:01:49,984 --> 00:01:50,050
