Is a little over 90 minutes. [applause] all, thank you for the invitation and thank you, Jessica Jones were doing the legwork and getting this organized and put together. This is very much we have guys in their 90s, guys in active duty, and females in our society who have guarded the tomb because the tomb was guarded first in 1995 by corporal heather johnson, the first female to walk them at in 1995.

Our logo and in this case here, this is the second least awarded badge with the exception of the astronauts badge. The astronaut badge is in the low 200. Today, we are giving badge number 634 to a young man who has completed his training and is ready to be considered a badge holder and of the fraternity and sorority, brotherhood or fellowship of tomb guard. We are a 501 c 3 organization and part of our bylaws is that we do Community Outreach to educate the public about the tomb. I find that your generation, sort of a sweeping generalization, that your generation knows about the tomb. I talked to School Groups and it is appalling how little they know of our history. It is not their fault. We have failed them because we have allowed all of this testing and teaching to the test and not put history on the test. I will get off my soapbox. Just think of that. I do speak to a lot of School Groups pro bono. This is my 81st speech this year. I will have well over 100 by the time veterans day is

You probably did, sean, there it is up in the North Country, the roads are slick. And will be the next couple of hours, notice the snow showers diminishing and it will turn dry even up north where its around 20 and lower 30s in parts of including manchester and over to the coast. And it develops south and east of the lakes region. And elsewhere, breezy and seasonably chilly. Upper 20s north and the narm wear weve seen the good part of december, its coming back. And it will be back in the upcoming weeks in minutes. Guns in and of themselves in my opinion will not make americans safer. We lose 33,000 people a year already to gun violence. Who denie
