 Once more, the United States Navy Band under the Battalion of Assistant Director, Lieutenant Robinson, sir, permission to come aboard. Hee, hee, hee, ho, ho, ho. We hate to see the Reagan's go. That's my only ad-lib. How sweet it is to be back with my friends. And Santa Claus, you know, does live right here in the United States of America. And this is his house over here. And notice it's next to the Treasury Building. So the combination is lethal. And to work with the Navy Band, Santa's old outfit, I couldn't be happier for many years. Joe Riley, a man who worked with President Kennedy, a man who worked with President Eisenhower, a man who worked with President Truman, a man who worked with President Roosevelt, a man who knew Millard Fillmore intimately. Ladies and gentlemen, one of the truly good guys, little Joe Riley. Here are the warriors, Joe. They tend to this tree throughout the year. Wonderful park for us this evening. The theme of the pageant this year is legacies. Not only the legacy of this beautiful lighting ceremony, but also the legacies in all our lives. The beauty of lighted trees and special orn't hope for peace on earth and a merry Christmas to all. It is traditional to have a Christmas prayer at this opening ceremony. This year, the pageant welcomes the Reverend Clarence A. Kaler, pastor of the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Waldorf, Maryland, to give us the Christmas prayer of peace is Reverend Kaler. Let us pray. Eternal God, the giver of every good and every perfect gift. We thank you for the legacies of this holy season. We thank you for the legacy of light just and hate. May there be food for the hungry. Friendship for the lonely. Shelter for the homeless. Hope for the hurting. Peace on earth. Once again, here comes Santa Claus. Thank you, Joe. Thank you, Reverend Kaler. And now for their second appearance in two years in a row from California, that fabulous state where the sun always shines. Ladies and gentlemen, the raisins from California.
