Use a hand, and lets summon the spirit of togetherness that has always helped to kindle america as a shining example to the world. And lets honor those americans who protect that idea. Especially those stationed far from home for the holidays. Our men and women in uniform and their families sacrifice so much for us. It is because of them that we go freely, we can worship as we please, that we can come together on a night like this, strong and united and free. So on behalf of our family, happy holidays to all of you and god bless you all and may god bless the United States of america. Thank you very much.

Thats what were focused on. And so again you want to make sure everybody is fully and fairly compensateded. Thats correct.
