 Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Trevor Oliver accompanied by his grandfather, Mr. Jack Atkins Good morning, and thank you to everyone who has spoken before me today everyone down here in front I can't thank you enough for making it easier on me and General McConnell especially thank you very much You know secretary Esper again meeting you today was a tremendous honor, and I'm very happy I got to have a conversation with you as well as a norquist as well. I appreciate our conversation. We had as well was very sweet Thank you to all of my father's fellow soldiers anyone who even knew of him to an extent Your kind words over this week and over the entire time since you've known me they've they've made it very very Easy on me and made it very easy for me to get over this and make me feel at home And make me feel like a family with you guys you you mean the world to me, and I hope you guys know that Let's see I didn't have a lot of time to spend with my dad it was a it was a shorter time But it was a very very valuable time. He taught me just about everything that he could about the outdoors Whether it be hunting fishing. He was he was a very outdoorsy guy, and he made sure I I took that with me Most of my time with him were during our visits in Montana I would go out there about twice a year during the summer and during the winter And we would get up to all sorts of trouble whether it was the winter snowmobiler going out and Shoot and go for something like that. We we loved we love spending time out in the out in the wilderness And just with each other. It was it was an incredible time with him We love shooting ranges. We love target practice. I still wouldn't say today. I'm a better shot than him And you know he was an incredible marksman and he taught me everything I know about rifles and safety and he was an incredible incredible inspiration when it came to that Like I said during our winter we would snowmobile and go out in the mountains to places that no one else sees with the Places we would go we would climb things that we were not supposed to be climbing on our snowmobiles and going places that a lot of people would not go and He was a total adrenaline junkie when it came to the snowmobile He he loved going way too fast on that thing. He the snowmobile. I have is as well It was his before he passed away. I Can't tell you how long he spent on that thing, but he spent way too much time making that thing go faster than it was supposed to So yeah as a as a little kid if I would get on that thing and put it straight down It would flip me. It would flip you straight back. So it's not not a toy And those were the most precious memories I have of him the winner and the snowmobiling memories Those were the ones that I remember the most out of everything It's funny how those memories stick I we ditched we we left him in a snowbank He was way too far up. We couldn't get to him. So we left him out there And he dug himself up and he came to the Meadow Crick Lodge with which is a restaurant you can only get to buy snowmobiling and He came in black blue and purple and shaken and all he could muster up to say was coffee And so that's that's the strength I always remember he he was always able to do it himself and he was a very independent and strong person and That's something I try to take with me every day And I hope I emulate a little bit of him out here today because that's what I'm trying Yeah, he was he was an absolute funny sweet amazing guy. He was he was hard. He was a very tough tough man, but The funniest the sweetest and loving passionate person out there You can make the whole room laugh just by walking in and smiling. That's the kind of person he was he was a he was an absolute absolute loving and caring man and Travis took pride in being an amazing father and then being an amazing soldier Being a soldier was his life and he was the blueprint of an amazing soldier and I thank him for that and I'm eternally thankful for him Thank you everybody. Thank you
