 The theme of the U.S. Army of American Bull is only the strongest of our colors. I want to thank my mom and my grandma. This is a very important part of a way in which the Army connects with the American people. I got selected for the U.S. Army Pro Football Hall of Fame Award for Excellence as a finalist, and I feel like it's a really great honor. Up, down, up, down. We spend many, many months in high schools talking to the youth of the country. And what these students represent that come to the All-American Bull is also what we require and need in the United States Army. Michelle, on behalf of the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the United States Army, it is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the U.S. Army 2013 All-American Marching Band. I would like to thank the U.S. Army for supporting my high school music. We go through a very deliberate process to select soldier heroes from across the United States Army, all units. We demonstrate their excellence in their Army strong character and traits and attributes with both the football players and the bands members. And it's a way in which we display our soldier strength through their personal presence here in San Antonio at this event. It gives us an opportunity to connect with America and to share with them the opportunities that we have, the importance of being physically, mentally and emotionally strong. The being of the U.S. Army All-American Bull is only the strongest where our colors. And I feel that, you know, it's in your heart is how much you will miss sacrifice on the field.
