 For most, I want to give a big shout out to big thanks to all the veterans who have represented us today. Give me a big hand, I just give a big hand to our parents, those who serve, those who continue to serve, and as you know, those who make that much of a sacrifice. For the three years that we've enjoyed here today, we say thank you so much. My name is Curtis Wilson, I am from ABC, good morning Columbia. I'm also from the 50th year, I'm also in Richardson County, you know, we're going to be here in a minute because I'm going to say y'all, but I've got to give big thanks to, of course, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing me to be here today, thank you, amen. This is the day the Lord has made it, we have the clouds, but you know what we have in spirit, and we know no matter what, we are not put into situations that some of our military members have been put into. So therefore, us being out here today, peace and care, amen. We're going to get things started, and first of all, I want to welcome our mayor of our favorite city of Columbia, South Carolina. You know what, he don't say anything, he don't want to wait just a moment. You know, you can't wait to retire out as mayor. We want to hold you just a little bit longer, that's what I'm saying. Thank you so much. Right now what I'd like to do is do the invocation, then after the invocation, we'll have the singing of the National Anthem. That's going to be brought to you by Mr. Julian Townsend, Army National Guard. So first, please, bow your heads in prayer. Dear Lord, today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect our country. We pray that you bless us for their unselfish service and to continue to struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety and our country's heritage. For all of us, thank you all in attendance and bless them as we enjoy this 43rd annual Veterans Day Parade put on by Outfair City, Outbreak City of Columbia, South Carolina. Amen. Brother Don's early life was so proud to twilight's last gleam, whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, were so gallantly still there. O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, No doubt about that and of course, this is his last term as it's really a new bunch of veterans. Hopefully this morning, people will feel what he's going to be doing next. I don't know. I'm just trying to throw it out there, may I? Try to throw it out there. Please give me a big hand. Your hands together. Bob Megan, Steve Benjamin. My name is Steve Benjamin. I'm a prime officer. It's a strong mind, and it's very powerful. Two things in red and red hands. A man willing to once a office does not kill, a man who destroys a office cannot buy, a man who is a sateenist and a well-willed, a man who will honor, a man who will not lie. many of which stand before a demigod and damious treacherous fighters of linking, tall men, son-craner, who live above the fog and public duty and in private thinking, who are the rival with their thumb-worn creeds, the large professions in the little deeds, naming and self-destruction, freedom, lonely, wise, beast. Wrong rules the land and will be justice, sleep, sedated, text, and also flies to women. And I would say this, and I live in the privilege of living in the greatest country in the history of the world. Because of the sacrifices of men and women who wear our uniform and carry our banner, the barred land and the message of God, we provide the very light and the freedom that we seek under every season there. Many women of the United States do not tear us apart. This is exception. This is lunch. This is proud to be the home of the poor, the tax system. This is the life, the true honor, the service of man in his last treacherousness. And so I want to vote to be, whether as a man of the city or as a private citizen of New Belgium, I pledge to you I continue to collect love and honor on behalf of this great city of Columbia. May God bless you and bless your generousness. Thank you. Definitely not a fair day, everybody. Great day. Let's give another big hand. Me and Steve Benjamin, parade room beginning started shortly.

So singing these cadence, they can march miles and miles without realizing it.
