thanks a lot, pete. it s always good to be with you. a hero is defined as a person who is admired or idealize for their courage, their outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. and this year s award recipient for heroism is all of them. this summer, during the chaotic scramble to get americans out of afghanistan, before the taliban took over, that might have been a good idea for biden to think about it, one decided one man one man decided to ask to save our friends and allies from being left behind. we are tremendously honored to introduce to you tonight lieutenant colonel scott mann.
