General Dunford, 217 00:32:27,450 --> 00:32:30,500 Senator and Senator Dole, 218 00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:34,960 trusted allies and all Gold Star Families. 219 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,040 Thank you for being here today to help us honor the fallen, 220 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,400 those laid to rest here to find sacrifice, 221 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,890 service and purpose. 222 00:32:44,890 --> 00:32:47,860 In their days, they guarded our freedoms. 223 00:32:47,860 --> 00:32:51,120 In our time, we discharged a sacred obligation 224 00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:55,100 to remember them; no words can capture 225 00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:58,743 the totality of their courage, patriotism, and love. 226 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,040 Some things are beyond words 227 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,573 and their silence speaks for itself. 228 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,150 To those they leave behind, 229 00:33:08,150 --> 00:33:11,183 beloved spouses, children, family, and friends, 230 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,763 we know not a day passes that you don't think of them. 231 00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:20,863 Today, millions of your fellow Americans remember with you. 232 00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:25,193 Let them celebrate the life of your hero with you. 233 00:33:26,260 --> 00:33:27,310 They are here for you 234 00:33:28,210 --> 00:33:30,490 and so are we, your Department of Defense, 235 00:33:30,490 --> 00:33:31,963 your family, your friends. 236 00:33:33,130 --> 00:33:34,780 I said before, the sacrifice 237 00:33:34,780 --> 00:33:36,913 of our honored dead is beyond words, 238 00:33:38,170 --> 00:33:40,320 but let those of President Theodore Roosevelt 239 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,393 capture just a fraction of their glory. 240 00:33:45,287 --> 00:33:48,993 "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, 241 00:33:49,987 --> 00:33:54,713 "whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; 242 00:33:55,807 --> 00:33:59,567 "who strives valiantly, who errs, 243 00:33:59,567 --> 00:34:01,967 "who comes short again and again, 244 00:34:01,967 --> 00:34:05,703 "because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; 245 00:34:07,127 --> 00:34:10,887 "but who does actually strive to do the deeds; 246 00:34:10,887 --> 00:34:14,417 "who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; 247 00:34:14,417 --> 00:34:17,343 "who spends himself in a worthy cause; 248 00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:21,347 "who at the best knows in the end 249 00:34:21,347 --> 00:34:22,997 "the triumph of high achievement, 250 00:34:24,307 --> 00:34:26,637 "and who at the worst, if he fails, 251 00:34:26,637 --> 00:34:28,913 "at least he fails while daring greatly, 252 00:34:30,067 --> 00:34:33,467 "so that his place shall never be with those cold 253 00:34:33,467 --> 00:34:38,177 "and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." 254 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,490 Ladies and gentlemen, it is now my honor to introduce 255 00:34:44,490 --> 00:34:47,903 the Vice President of the United States Michael Pence. 256 00:34:48,743 --> 00:34:51,993 (attendees applauding) 257 00:35:12,471 --> 00:35:14,054 - [Mike] Thank you. 258 00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:16,670 - [Man] 20-20. 259 00:35:16,670

00:35:27,540 --> 00:35:28,513 General Dunford, 263 00:35:30,410 --> 00:35:31,343 honored guests, 264 00:35:32,890 --> 00:35:35,790 especially to the active duty members of our Armed Forces, 265 00:35:35,790 --> 00:35:38,050 our veterans and most of all 266 00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:41,493 to our Gold Star Families. 267 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,746 We are honored by your presence. 268 00:35:45,746 --> 00:35:48,996 (attendees applauding) 269 00:35:55,490 --> 00:35:57,020 On behalf of a grateful nation, 270 00:35:57,020 --> 00:36:00,400 it is my profound privilege to be here 271 00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:04,110 on the hallowed ground of Arlington National Cemetery 272 00:36:04,110 --> 00:36:07,190 for the 151st occasion 273 00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:11,060 where we gather to pay a debt of honor and gratitude 274 00:36:12,030 --> 00:36:13,420 to the memory of those who gave 275 00:36:13,420 --> 00:36:15,480 their last full measure of devotion 276 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,673 and as that General Order in 19, in 1868 said first, 277 00:36:22,610 --> 00:36:25,950 to renew our pledge to aid and assist those 278 00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:27,403 whom they have left among us. 279 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:33,463 As is evident by all your presence here, 280 00:36:34,790 --> 00:36:37,723 by gatherings like this all across America you know. 281 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,780 There is a day in November when we remember 282 00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:46,420 those who served and came home, but today 283 00:36:47,690 --> 00:36:50,350 is the day when all across America, 284 00:36:50,350 --> 00:36:54,483 we pause to honor and remember those who served our nation, 285 00:36:56,650 --> 00:36:57,750 but did not come home. 286 00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:02,723 It is Memorial Day in America. 287 00:37:05,220 --> 00:37:06,760 To all of you here 288 00:37:08,270 --> 00:37:10,023 and those looking on from afar, 289 00:37:11,530 --> 00:37:13,883 especially to the families of our fallen, 290 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,990 we extend our deepest sympathies 291 00:37:18,820 --> 00:37:23,410 and we also bring the deepest respects and gratitude 292 00:37:24,290 --> 00:37:27,930 of the 45th President of the United States of America 293 00:37:27,930 --> 00:37:30,057 President Donald Trump. 294 00:37:30,057 --> 00:37:33,307 (attendees applauding) 295 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,533 The President and the First Lady came here 296 00:37:45,533 --> 00:37:48,393 to Arlington just this past Thursday. 297 00:37:49,530 --> 00:37:50,870 And while his duties have taken him 298 00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:52,420 to the other side of the world, 299 00:37:53,630 --> 00:37:55,690 I spoke to him just a little while ago 300 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,040 and I know his heart is here with all of you 301 00:38:01,890 --> 00:38:03,740 and with families across this nation 302 00:38:04,940 --> 00:38:07,973 for whom every day is Memorial Day. 303 00:38:09,850 --> 00:38:12,290 The Bible says if you owe debts, pay debts; 304 00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:15,143 if honor, then honor; if respect, then respect. 305 00:38:15,980 --> 00:38:19,010 And the debt our nation owes to those who rest here 306 00:38:19,010 --> 00:38:21,460 among these hallowed fields and in cemeteries, 307 00:38:21,460 --> 00:38:25,150 churchyards, and humble plots across the wider world 308 00:38:25,150 --> 00:38:28,763 is a debt we can never fully repay. 309 00:38:30,180 --> 00:38:32,150 For this is the day that makes possible 310 00:38:32,150 --> 00:38:34,023 all other American days. 311 00:38:34,970 --> 00:38:37,350 Without it, without the sacrifice we honor 312 00:38:37,350 --> 00:38:41,060 at patriots' graves from the four corners of our land 313 00:38:41,060 --> 00:38:45,863 and overseas, there would be no other American days. 314 00:38:47,410 --> 00:38:49,430 What we celebrate today as Memorial Day 315 00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:53,013 began just three short years after the end of the Civil War. 316 00:38:54,170 --> 00:38:56,630 It was originally established here 317 00:38:56,630 --> 00:39:00,770 as Decoration Day to take place on May 30th, 1868, 318 00:39:00,770 --> 00:39:02,090 to honor fallen soldiers 319 00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:05,040 by decorating their final resting places 320 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,780 with newly bloomed May flowers 321 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,333 and that dear old flag they saved. 322 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,113 And that tradition continues. 323 00:39:15,490 --> 00:39:18,410 Since that time here on the hallowed grounds of Arlington 324 00:39:18,410 --> 00:39:21,100 and in churchyards, national cemeteries, 325 00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,033 and town squares across the land, 326 00:39:24,330 --> 00:39:28,020 Americans gather to honor the lives and deeds 327 00:39:28,020 --> 00:39:30,980 of America's greatest heroes 328 00:39:30,980 --> 00:39:34,370 and to assure their families that we will never forget 329 00:39:34,370 --> 00:39:36,880 and we will never fail to honor 330 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,442 the service and sacrifice of their loved ones. 331 00:39:40,442 --> 00:39:43,692 (attendees applauding) 332 00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:52,650 We're actually joined today by two leaders 333 00:39:52,650 --> 00:39:54,960 who have quite possibly done more to honor 334 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,940 the memory of our fallen and support their families 335 00:39:58,940 --> 00:40:02,190 than any other living Americans. 336 00:40:02,190 --> 00:40:05,160 For his courageous service in World War II, 337 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,800 for all they have both done to preserve 338 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,630 the memory of the greatest generation 339 00:40:09,630 --> 00:40:12,780 and for their support of military families, 340 00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:14,320 would you join me in thanking 341 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,350 Senators Bob Dole and Elizabeth Dole 342 00:40:17,350 --> 00:40:20,140 for their countless contributions 343 00:40:20,140 --> 00:40:22,269 to the United States of America. 344 00:40:22,269 --> 00:40:25,519 (attendees applauding) 345 00:40:48,340 --> 00:40:50,880 From the hour of our nation's birth, our best and bravest 346 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,660 have stepped forward to defend freedom. 347 00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:57,000 The unbroken cord of military service stretches 348 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,783 into the mists of American history, 349 00:40:59,870 --> 00:41:02,143 from Bunker Hill to Belleau Wood, 350 00:41:03,060 --> 00:41:04,950 from San Juan Hill to Saipan, 351 00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:07,700 from the Coral Sea to Kandahar, 352 00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:10,960 heroic Americans have answered their nation's call 353 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,400 and paid the ultimate price for our freedom. 354 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,853 Their duty was to serve. 355 00:41:18,930 --> 00:41:21,013 Our duty is to remember. 356 00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:26,250 History records that more than 40 million have served 357 00:41:26,250 --> 00:41:27,840 in the uniform of the United States 358 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,460 and nearly one million Americans have fallen in uniform 359 00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:33,860 since our nation's founding. 360 00:41:34,910 --> 00:41:36,650 Americans of every race and creed 361 00:41:36,650 --> 00:41:39,253 have fought and died for our freedom, 362 00:41:40,770 --> 00:41:43,693 but as I can tell from the faces of those gathered here, 363 00:41:45,850 --> 00:41:48,853 you know the numbers don't tell the story. 364 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,933 They tell nothing of the lives of promise cut short, 365 00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:57,363 of dreams unfulfilled, 366 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,060 of families shattered. 367 00:42:03,650 --> 00:42:05,863 Words fail when heroes fall. 368 00:42:08,290 --> 00:42:09,840 So we do well 369 00:42:11,420 --> 00:42:13,290 on this day each year 370 00:42:14,830 --> 00:42:16,480 just to tell their stories 371 00:42:17,460 --> 00:42:20,033 and to let their words and deeds speak for them. 372 00:42:22,110 --> 00:42:25,293 David Kerr was born in Louisiana in 1893. 373 00:42:26,170 --> 00:42:29,140 He was a student at Columbia University, 374 00:42:29,140 --> 00:42:31,840 but he dropped out of college to fight in World War I. 375 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,820 He deployed to France, 376 00:42:33,820 --> 00:42:37,500 volunteered to participate in an attack on Saint-Mihiel 377 00:42:38,460 --> 00:42:41,070 and two months before the guns fell silent 378 00:42:41,070 --> 00:42:44,043 at the 11th hour, the 11th day, in the 11th month, 379 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,763 Sergeant David Kerr fell. 380 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,370 After the war, the French government awarded him 381 00:42:51,370 --> 00:42:56,370 the Croix de Guerre with palm for his courageous service. 382 00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,200 But a day before the attack, 383 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,673 Sergeant Kerr sent a letter to his mom. 384 00:43:05,980 --> 00:43:08,573 He wrote and I quote, 385 00:43:10,077 --> 00:43:13,290 "Tomorrow, the first totally American drive commences 386 00:43:14,167 --> 00:43:16,600 "and it gives me inexpressible joy and pride 387 00:43:17,457 --> 00:43:20,013 "to know that I shall be present to do my share. 388 00:43:21,767 --> 00:43:25,360 "Should I go under, I want you to know 389 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,310 that I went without any terror of death 390 00:43:28,307 --> 00:43:29,537 "and that my chief worry 391 00:43:29,537 --> 00:43:33,777 "is the grief my death will bring to those so dear to me." 392 00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:36,307 And then he ended saying, 393 00:43:36,307 --> 00:43:39,537 "I feel wonderfully strong to do my share well. 394 00:43:39,537 --> 00:43:44,097 "For my sake, you must try and drown your sorrow 395 00:43:44,097 --> 00:43:48,380 "in the pride and satisfaction that I died well 396 00:43:49,497 --> 00:43:52,737 "in so clean a cause as ours." 397 00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:58,527 He ended, "God bless and keep you, my dear heart. 398 00:43:58,527 --> 00:44:03,197 "Be kind to little Elizabeth, I love you so well, David." 399 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,840 Today we remember the service and sacrifice 400 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,633 of Sergeant David Kerr. 401 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,853 William Robinson Evans Jr. was born in Indiana in 1918. 402 00:44:19,790 --> 00:44:20,890 He was an Eagle Scout. 403 00:44:21,770 --> 00:44:23,700 After graduating from college in Connecticut, 404 00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:27,520 he enlisted in the Navy's Reserve Officer pilot program. 405 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:28,850 He earned his Wings of Gold 406 00:44:28,850 --> 00:44:31,923 and was commissioned as an ensign in May of 1941. 407 00:44:33,370 --> 00:44:36,550 In September, he was assigned to a Torpedo Squadron 408 00:44:36,550 --> 00:44:37,683 on the USS Hornet. 409 00:44:38,740 --> 00:44:42,933 At 23, he was one of the squadron's youngest
