 As he takes on new responsibilities and increase the thorns, empower him with our promoting official, the Kanabampa Firmoring Port, General David H. Berger. Why it's unique is the reason we're also super excited this morning, the first African-American general to be promoted to four star general. He is zolder-wise and he can carry a lot in here, in his heart, he's sincerely genuinely in. So 43 years we go from our first African-American general to our first, I think of any more, four-star. Commissioned officers, we don't serve for four years or six. And I think Mike's biggest fan club that I met him a year ago are the rest of this front row. Now it's even bigger. Now he's the spokesman for all of the U.S. forces in Africa. We're just to have Europe oriented. His boss, President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the frocking of Lieutenant General Michael E. Langley. Not quite part of the ceremony. Planning guidance. We knew that there were some tenants that we had to address. The pool of talent that the Marine Corps has, the pool of talent that the Marine Corps needs to do, keep on to to be able to execute force designed to meet the needs. From the inspiration, the flank, to the peace, to the brink of peace. 1979, the first African-American general, President Roosevelt in 1941, the second forward, 88-02. Because mercy is more than race. The first year is about background, a mindset, attitudes. Because collectively that's the only way that we're going to be able to maintain a decisive advantage over our strategic competitors. Just leadership like that from then major daily. Now, Lieutenant General, we're tired of failing. He had mentioned me over the years. I'm going to do the firing moments of my career. These moments in time. So thank you, Heavenly Father. We bless you and hear with us. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for those who've already paved the way. For those who've said an example, we know that this is not an accident. And for the work that he's done these 37 years, we ask that you continue to bless him. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes our ceremony. We invite you to join General Langley and his family for a reception here at the Marine Family Garden. And we ask your patience as the garden is reset for the reception. Again.
