Im incredibly honored to introduce our next guest, a man of true courage, honor and integrity, a hero who has served in the United States army for nearly 40 years and currently serves as the 18th chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and apparently knows the lyrics to all of Kellie Picklers songs. [laughter] ladies and gentlemen and gentlemen, please welcome general Martin Dempsey. [laughter] [applause] thanks very much. I would like to begin by saying i do not know the words to red high heels. I dont know where she went but i cannot believe she said that. [laughter] by the way, how hard is it to follow Kellie Pickler . In terms of someone who demonstrates heart and passion and patriotism and compassion and commitment. She is all those things i dont know where you are, kelly, are you back at the table . I dont see her there but how about we give her a round of applause. She might hear him back. [applause] hear it in back. Deenie and i are honored to be back. I mentioned this the last three years that when we put our calendar together for the year, theres just a handful of things we put on the calendar and we dont let anybody knock them off and this is one and its because it is important. Its important for the soul of my compliments to the uso in our congratulations to jd and christine for becoming the leaders of this Incredible Organization and you can count on us to be among your biggest fans not only while we served but long after. Thanks for that. Aisha said she thought the commandant of the marine corps had the coolest name frank grass, you might be at the other end of that. [laughter] grass . I love you, man but anyway 1 [laughter] every year i throw somebody under the bus and this year it happens to be you. [laughter] one of theweek things that continues to surprise me is the way emotions kind of wash over you as the chairman and im sure the Service Chiefs feel the same way. There is always something that captures your imagination, your heart, your soul. And that last week alone, including this event tonight which i will mention in a moment, they week ago i was up at west point with my classmates celebrating our 40th reunion. It was unbelievable. One of the things we did is we took a cruise down the hudson river and it had been raining during the day but the rain kind blew out the bad weather and what we ended up with was an unbelievably crystalclear fall night on this tower, we saw the freedom in new york city and we all got some memories of that. All of a sudden, they announced come out on deck because we are about to approach the statue of liberty. We walked out on deck as a group. Probably do the maths so you know its my 40th anniversary 40th reunion come you can probably tell how old we are but we walked out on deck and im not kidding you the size and the magnitude and the majesty and the beauty of the ittue of liberty was just was aweinspiring. When you think about what it for a for honestly, bunch of us who were just telling lies to he cut each other all week about who we were and what we hoped to be, you kind of remember who we are. Moments soof those that was on saturday night and today, i went to the passage of command for the United States marine corps where the 35th commandant, jim amos, past command to the 36th commandant, joe dunford and i will tell you what, i am proud to be a member of the United States army but i also have the shoot bid the privilege of eating chairman of the joint chiefs. If you could see the pride with which those young men and women stood tall and passed in review and were there for this ceremony honoring their outgoing commandant and their new commandant, it just made you want to stand taller and straighter its hard to stand straighter at least at my age. But the point is, the pride of the young men and women who served is absolutely inspiring. That is why, jd and all of you who served with the uso, thats why you do what you do because you want to match their pride with your commitment. It was just unbelievable. Here i am again tonight so this is the trifecta for me. One week, three events where you can feel good not only about the military but about the country. Now you can. [applause] lets give the country around of applause. [applause] i already mentioned jd and christine and we want to welcome you by the way, there is nothing on this teleprompter. Everybody else had something on the teleprompter. [laughter] anyway but jd and christine, welcome aboard as we say, terrific. I also want to mention my teammates, the joint chiefs. Some of them are here tonight and i saw ray odierno and john and some of the vices and the commandant of the marine corps, the the guy with the cool name and frank, the not so cool man guy. [laughter] honestly, ibe, could not be prouder to be part of that team, the joint chiefs of staff. Weve got a lot going on in case you have not noticed. [laughter] if i had had this conversation with you and with them what, four months ago, we would not be talking about insecurity in europe or this thing called isil and we would not be talking about ebola and here we are. The joint chiefs and the men and women who serve, we will figure it out. We will figure out what the country needs us to do and we will do it. We will do it well and we are going to keep the country safe [applause] even while we are sitting here tonight, besides the young men and women employed on missions we already know about, weve got people packing their bags to go to europe to reassure our allies or go to iraq or kuwait to make sure that this threat of isil does not continue to expand and to go to places like senegal and liberia to make sure that this disease is contained and therefore does not become a threat to the homeland. That is what they do. I hope you did not think we would put you out of work. We are not going to put you out of work. You will have some work to do and we are proud to be partners with you in doing it. I also want to make a special mention tonight to a couple that happened to be here with us and to get, i think im a far less credit than they deserve or what they have done for their country and thats lloyd and Charlene Austin who happen to be sitting at our table tonight. [applause] if you value humility as a character trait, there is not many people i know better as humble as lloyd and Charlene Austin. When you think about the portfolio we have given him and the men and women who served with him, its quite remarkable. Hes got really Big Shoulders but its even remarkable that even he can bear the weight of what we have asked him to do. Join me in a round of applause for lloyd and charlene. [applause] i already talked about Kellie Pickler. What an incredible person and kyl her husband. So she is an extraordinarily successful and talented countrywestern singer and on a whim says maybe i will try that dancing with the stars thing and im glad she does not want to give a shot to being the chairman. [laughter] im not sure i could fight her off. She is little, very little, but she is mean as a snake. [laughter] that i want to mention one other person and i actually i try to mention this person every year. Some of you have been here for these events in the past. I apologize for being repetitive but marilou austin where is she . [applause] knowe tell you i dont where she is i may get her to stand up and if somebody can find her with a spotlight marilou where is she . Stand up. [applause] you are standing, im sorry. Some of you heard the story but when i was a Second Lieutenant washe way to germany, it january, 1975, i was lost. This is before sponsorship was a big deal. Ticketnd of gave you a to go to a place you could not pronounce. And ioff of the aircraft went to where we all go when youre not exactly sure where to go. I went to the uso. Mary lou was there. She steered me in the right direction and i told this story three years ago she came up to me after and said it was me. I thought that was cool so every year now, here you are. She is down in atlanta now but heres the rest of the story last year mike son was redeploying from afghanistan through atlanta. Guess who he met . Marilou austin. [applause] last thing i want to say before i bow off the stage and we will get the chiefs appear to recognize the wonderful young men and women who are honored here tonight is i want to mention the army on many tonight has a special connection to me. I dont even think he knows it. My son was class of 2000 from west point and had a best friend by the name of tom kennedy. Tom kennedy was killed just about two years ago now in afghanistan. Incident, there was a suicide bomber with a suicide vest. Among the folks who made the situation less catastrophic than it could have been was Sergeant Andrew mahoney who happens to be the army nominee tonight. [applause] he actually tackled a couple of the members of the team that were there and prevented them from being killed in that incident. That is who we are, right . I never met him but i will meet him here in a moment. Weve got a connection that i did not even know we had until i read the bio. Heres the deal, people say to me whats it like to be chairman right now . Its hard to describe actually. Its probably hard for all of us to describe what its like to be serving just now when we are. But i did find this little irish ditty. Can i get a drink of water before i try to bang out this irish tune . Can somebody hand me a drink of water . Somebody back there has got to be listening. By the way, this is the guy that put me in this position. I will never forgive you for this. [laughter] casey, 36r, george chief of staff of the United States army. [applause] i found this little it will shock you when i tell you it is an irish ditty but it is a little story about a brick layer. He was a brick layer and he was actually writing to his boss to explain why he was not at work on this particular day. Its called the sick note. I would describe it as analogous to what its like to be serving at this level at this particular point in time. Heres how it goes sir, i write this note to you metell you of plight and at the time of writing, i am not a pretty sight my body is all black and blue me face a deathly gray whyite this note to say patty is not at work today floor,orking on the 14th some bricks i had to clear now to throw them down from such a height was not a good idea the foreman was not very pleased he being an awkward sod. He said i would have to carry them down on the letter with me hod. Clearing all the bricks by hand, it was so very slow and hoisted up a barrel secured the rope below job, ie hasted to do the was too blind to see that a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me rope,n i did untie the the barrel felt like lead and clinging tightly to the rope, i started up instead while i shot up like a rocket to my dismay i found met the bloody i barrel coming down [laughter] shoulder asroke me to the ground it sped and when i reached the top, i banged the pulley with my head but i clung on tight through phnom penh shock from this almighty blow and the barrel still dont have to bricks 14 floors below now when these bricks have fallen from the barrel to the floor barrel andeighed the so started down once more [laughter] still clinging tightly to the rope, i sped back towards the ground and i landed on the broken bricks that were spread and scattered around while i laid there groaning on the floor, i thought i had passed the worst when the barrel at the pulley wheel, and then the bottom burst a shower of bricks rained down on me i had not got a hope as i lay there moaning on the ground i let go the bloody rope [laughter] the barrel then being heavier, it started down once more as ianded right across me lay across the floor well it broke three ribs and my left arm and i can only say that i hope youll understand whypaddys not at work today.

He jumps out of perfectly good helicopters and he did so. 2013, back in april of launching over 100 miles south of galveston, texas and there is a fishing vessel foundering in 15 foot seas. Normally you lower your rescue down by a hoist and it was too rough to lower him down so he jumps out of a perfectly good aircraft. He swims up to a life raft. Then he not only comes up to the life raft but he says, its ok, im here to give you a lift. Thats exactly what he did but if we could do the same with ebola that he did with this mariner in distress, and then he hooked up, and then we lifted this mariner out and all thanks to brett bates for doing that. If that was not enough, he also is an emt. On a tennis court, somebody playing tennis suffers cardiac arrest and he happened to have an id kit and administered cpr and saves another life. He has done that again and again. And so he is truly a lifesaver. The biggest challenge for me as ourselves the silent service because we never talk about what we do. Brett bates is one of the many in our service that time and again, they save lives and thats what im trained to do. What you heard before his many heroes who have come before them and i will call another one out but thats what he is trained to do, to serve our nation as a volunteer.
