And it's a pleasure to have you here in such a beautiful country and beautiful world. As you can see, as an example, there will be no relationship. We have peace and security in this important region, and it's important because we love it. We love this region, and we try our best to work together to make it important. Thank you. We will assign you to this school that you are as a commander. Welcome to Chatham, a new home. The view of the general needs to come. Now, I would present my general language. Thank you very much. Thank you, your Excellency. Ladies and gentlemen, the presiding official for today's ceremony, the commander, General Perilla. To look out at the side, surrounded by a French car, this is what makes us different. The relationship, the days when they return, the deep friendship as a human being is here for Spain. The sacrifice of man leads to leaders, and the air may make sure. We serve our people, and it's a very good experiment to survive this. And the military now, which is the most important one, is home. Synchronizing the efforts of thousands of international team with the fight over your new tactics in real time and in combat, there are too many firsts for us to mention here today. Your work is now done. We begin your work with culture, and it's never early. Seek your friction and try to change. In these past few years, Greece has had a state that has been in command by its people. Building upon us, this is impressive to include our partners. He built a formidable team across the region. There is no more change over the past six months of crisis across the region. The joint regional heritage has been a shining example of who our bulls are. The JRAC has served in safe lives on multiple occasions. And even the most difficult days, the team has created a true combined headquarters in the chaos where our partners should survive. This team is out on the web. Greece directed the members of Task Force 99 absences in a nation's afterwards to run until after. Harnessing the power of our mission delegates that blinded the exceptional system and turned it into the gold standard to be a processing of more than 1,000. Don't worry, I'm still getting there. Granted to be behind it, best of all, you need to be seen when those services set it up and those on the joint status. Determined that it'd be a leader to take this team over there. Though he's coming in after that, he previously commanded the three to be there to fix everything up. And the Saudi, the world's Saudi leader, he has served as the second commentator at DJ3 for our team, and I was as well. He brings depth, experience, and care to one of the most complex security situations in the world. And I hope that everyone who's seen this, seen the days and weeks that come, that it's very just going to put out for you the five reality. Welcome to the team. Probably, well, fear and shy are force-based. Everything you do, you look down on the side of the team. What you're doing is... One of them is, is to be brief, be brilliant, and be non, so I won't take long. Ladies and gentlemen, the actual student masters, Jesus of Heaven, the spirituals, and the friends and partners from the Air Force across the region and the senior guests in the airmen of the past century, I say here, for you to think of it, the existence of gratitude for the privilege of that experience. I mean so very much. So, to his excellency, Dr. Khaled, you're on top of a new disease. We put up a list of benefits that's used with international cooperation. Thank you for hosting us. Thank you for hosting this ceremony. And I'll leave a part of my heart here in the talk. This is one of the first of many awards for teaching this ceremony and for your leadership to navigate some of the most perilous moments we've seen here in the days. You were the title of that gift that our Air Force was central to and trusted us to some of the most critical little senses about the region. Your trust and support was the whole up and down the chain. There's a few Air Force students that I make to thank. Of course, it's not you today, but General Seed Brown was the chief of staff of the Air Force all the time. So we have a lot of and I also, of course, want to thank General Lough and the members of the staff. General Rose Lough, the current mayor of Air Conduct and General Murray Stelly before him. Thanks to them for their trust and confidence as absent in supporting this as we extend this ceremony. To my fellow deployment commanders, it's been a privilege to work with you along the side of the city of 15 players as a dramatic understatement. Your collaborative, your non-progressive attitude puts our Air Force and our armed forces on a tremendous good path. To all my fellow air chiefs here in the region, thank you for your partnerships. Good friends and difficult times that are blocked is a great value for each of our countries. I thank you for all of your support. To the minimum capacity that I would like to call out, I've had a number of tremendous decades I've been looking at them all. You've come to support us. I know the community needs to advance and the best of luck is to move to full force here this summer. My commander, she's not certain taking ground on one of the best ones we can ask for, always looking out for me and looking out for her team. And of course, the demands of our air institution are ranged in the range of 40 minutes and all of the officers in this region are impressed with me. There's a few others I just want to briefly highlight, and that's my current office team. I'll often say it takes a village to take care of the French and not be at home with the best of us out there. My prior executive, Lieutenant General Ryan, I asked him, was she a lot of work or she a lot of, a lot of money? And I was going to pull in my recruiter to my current assistant camp. I think he, my current assistant, came up with me. My current assistant, Jack, Sarah, and my current assistant, Jack, Cass. Thank you guys for everything to do for the front office and the team this summer. And of course, we were missed like I was talking about their support and the support that's been critical to sustaining this current problem and one of the best skills we get is the U.S. military as well as families. They get drafted into this business and they serve unfortunate. And I know many of you are waiting for their families to come up their support back home. But I think they've done this a lot of change and that's their own their own support. Thank you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
