 Craig Clapperton, I'm the commanding officer of USS Mount Whitney. So the ceremony today is the 69th anniversary of the first Allied deaths in the liberation of this part of southern France. It was actually members of the French resistance that were trying to set up a beachhead to enable the American forces to land here. And both French resistance and American forces died 69 years ago in this day. It was heavily defended in mind area and there was a great loss of life. So it's very important that we remember this day today. It's wonderful to be here. It's a great opportunity for me, for my crew, and for the civilian mariners and sailors alike on Mount Whitney to get out here, be a part of this history, be a part of this remembrance, and share in the great hospitality and the friendship with the people here in Tales of Marin.
