00:08are substantial portions of this land that are always covered in ice and it doesn't change.

00:15I really enjoyed talking to a number of you a little while ago as you were telling me

00:19that when you're deployed here, you're deployed here for a year, a year without your family,

00:24without your spouse, without your children.

00:27That is emblematic of so many of the sacrifices that so many of our armed services personnel

00:32make.

00:33And my conversations with our airmen and guardians this afternoon reminded me of the fact that

00:40the American people are indeed in good hands, they're in your hands.

00:45What you do here makes us safer.

00:48And when we're going about our business, our day-to-day lives at home, we don't have to

00:54worry about the things that you worry about because you're doing it for us.

00:58Thank you so much for that.

01:00And I look forward to learning more about what you do here and about the future of the

01:06United States and its interaction with this amazing land in this part of the world.
