 My name is Gerald Ivan Sausier. I'm at the Armed Forces Retirement Home, Washington, DC. I'm a retired Borla Technician Senior Chief. Retired Navy Chief Fatty Officer Larry Gardner. Ken Fowler, Mass Chief Benjamin. Helen Sadowski, Retired Chief Yeoman. You guys are doing a great job out there. We have a sincere appreciation of what you're doing out there. And while things are a little bit different than when we served, the basic elements of service remain the same. We all do appreciate exactly what you're doing and how you're protecting this wonderful country of ours. Some of the active duty girls come here and it amazes me. Today they're Bosun's mates and Gunner's mates and everything that the men do. And I give them all the credit in the world. And I'd like to wish all my fellow shipmates above and below the water. Happy Veterans Day. Happy Veterans Day to all the military today. When you're out there and you're humping and you're saying to yourself, does anybody know or understand or appreciate what we do, you can know that at least 500 of us here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home do know that. Happy Veterans Day.
