00:00:00,729 --> 00:00:06,900
Hi I’m NASA Astronaut Shane Kimbrough, Commander
of the International Space Station and a retired

2
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:08,620
Army Colonel.

3
00:00:08,620 --> 00:00:13,959
As I orbit the earth at an altitude of 250
miles, I’m constantly in awe of the sight

4
00:00:13,959 --> 00:00:15,419
of our planet below.

5
00:00:15,419 --> 00:00:20,970
I’m equally awestruck by those brave Americans
who served and who are currently serving around

6
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:26,470
the world in the United Stated Armed Forces
in the defense of our freedom.

7
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:32,099
Our service men and women have always placed
themselves in harms way to protect our values

8
00:00:32,099 --> 00:00:37,340
and everything and everyone we hold precious
in our democracy.

9
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:41,170
I also want to recognize family members of
those serving.

10
00:00:41,170 --> 00:00:44,170
You humbly sacrifice more than people know.

11
00:00:44,170 --> 00:00:46,320
Thank you.

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,239
As we commemorate Veterans Day, please take
a moment to remember those who made the ultimate

13
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:58,840
sacrifice and those currently serving on behalf
of us every minute, every day to keep us free,
