 Good morning ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Brigadier General Heritage, the commanding general of the Marine Corps crew depot in the Western Recruiting Region, I want to virtually welcome you with a family day message from India Company. My name is Colonel Matt Ponder, and I'm the commanding officer of the Recruit Training Regiment. I'm assisted in my duties by my senior enlisted leader, Sergeant Major Paul Lee. Together we've had the distinct pleasure of observing your Marines throughout their training, and we can be more proud of what they've accomplished in a relatively short period of time. With that said, we know that our job would have been much more difficult had it not been for the solid foundation that you leave for them back at all. Moreover, the love and support that you've provided for them throughout their training has been absolutely critical to their success. We want to thank you for that, India. We're going to have to continue to love and support them throughout their training as they depart from here on Friday on their way to school in the U.S., and they will continue over to follow our training. Now, there's a couple other groups I'd like to talk about today. First, if you serve in any branch of your office, and they're under the watchful eye of peace during the time they're here, we want to thank you for that service. And we'll sacrifice this service as an example for all of us, and especially the Marines of India Company. Thank you, veterans. The next group I'd like to recognize are the officers and drill instructors that proudly wear these blue t-shirts. They are the officers and drill instructors of India Company. Had it not been for their hard-working determination, the transformation from civilian to recruit and recruit to Marine when they need to be in hospital, do you know that there's been a drill instructor with your memory every moment of every day and night since they stepped on our famous Yellow Cross? That sort of dedication doesn't come without a great sacrifice. Very young families have endured long periods of time away from their memories for the benefit of your memory. So, I'd like to extend congratulations and a deep appreciation to the officers, drill instructors, and families of India Company for a job well done. Thank you, India Company. Your Marines come from great rambers, and they're no different than any other Marine. And we want to thank you for everything that you've done to support them when you were out there training. We know how difficult it has been during this pandemic, and how hard it is for you not to be here at today's traditional and new day events. And we hope that you continue to work and support your Marine throughout their training. We want you to know that your Marine Corps will always remain first to fight, and we will be ready when the nation is no easier. Continue to be safe, take care of yourselves and your families, and we look forward to seeing you longer. Thank you and so much. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Staff Sergeant Hayes. I'm the senior drill instructor for Platoon 3201, and these are your new Marines. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Staff Sergeant Waxton, the senior drill instructor for the two of 3202, and here are your new Marines. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Staff Sergeant Shaw.
