![]() Worrisome.Īs I said at the - at the dinner for the - with the Correspondents Dinner, I said, “You know, when Jimmy Madison wrote the Con- that amendment in the Constitution, I was there.” (Laughter.) And everybody said, “Yeah, he probably was.” I mean - (laughter).īut all kidding aside, each one of you over the years - this chain has grown stronger.Īnd - and a mark of these milestones, as a consequence, I challenge you to keep strengthening that chain in big and small ways - to keep sharpening our military edge in the field and across the forces, to keep taking on the challenges of today and tomorrow. And that’s hard to believe, because I remember most of that. Seventy-five years of women - full integration. And - 75 years of a desegregated military. Over the years, that chain has grown stronger thanks to the generation of military leaders you’ve all trained. I think of it as a just a chain of honor. And that’s how I think about it, when I think of our son. You - I don’t - you probably don’t even realize what you exude - your confidence in our capacities.Īnd I told them that they’d soon be joining a long line of American service members, each a link in a chain of honor. They had the same - but they had the same sense of pride, they had the same sense of purpose and the passion - and you could see it in all of them - the same passion that you all possess. (Laughter.)īut these young cadets are just starting out. ![]() Now, I notice there’s only about a quarter of you cheering. ![]() Just last week, Jill and I had a chance to host another group: the Air Force Academy football team. Folks, this is something we look forward to since we’ve become President, and we appreciate you all coming. And thank you for all - all for being here.
