 Hey team, I'm here near the Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. where I've seen firsthand what soldiers are doing alongside service members from every branch of the military to welcome Afghans to this great nation. It's an incredibly touching place to be on the 20th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks and I can't help but think back on all that we've suffered through and accomplished as a country from that day to this one. Many lives were lost in those attacks and many later paid with their lives in the war on terrorism. On every anniversary we must always remember today and through the future just how precious our way of life is and what sacrifices were made to preserve our freedoms. But when I look around at our newest mission I feel incredibly proud to be an American soldier at this critical moment. Small children smiled and waved American flags at me and you could feel the relief and sense the opportunity among the Afghan people waiting to find a new home here in the United States. We're living into historic times and it's a great feeling to know that this humanitarian effort will be remembered long after we're gone. The long war in Afghanistan has taken a toll on us all. In varying ways and degrees it's touched every one of us. That long war is over now and we must now look ahead with hope but never forget that faithful September morning that defined the last two decades of the American experience. Thank you sincerely to each of my soldiers for your support to this army during the war and for all that you continue to do here and across the country to welcome our Afghan friends to their new home. Can do anytime, anywhere.
