Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the newseums theater. I am peter prichard, chair of the newseum and we are here to mark the opening of our latest inibit, the marines and tet, the battle that changed the vietnam war. This is almost the 50th anniversary of the tet offensive, which, if youre a millennial, i will explain it.

He spent three days in february with the marines as they took back the city of hue, in what turned out to be the bloodiest battle of the vietnam war. This exhibit features 20 large format photographs and 10 tactile versions of these photos, with touch activat

Right now, we believe that the industry is right for innovation. We have let me just get my slides here one of the things that we truly believe is that Brokerage Firms and Wealth Managers have an opportunity to tap into that Younger Generation.
