00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:16.980
We come together today to mourn the loss of brave Americans, to share the grief that we all feel,

2
00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:23.790
and, perhaps in that sharing, to find the strength to bear our sorrow

3
00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:26.160
and the courage to look for the seeds of hope.

4
00:00:41.110 --> 00:00:50.350
Remember them as they lived, bringing life and love and joy to those who knew them and pride to a nation.

5
00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:59.120
The story of all human progress is one of a struggle against all odds.

6
00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:06.170
We learned again that this America, which Abraham Lincoln called the last, best hope of

7
00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:10.400
man on Earth, was built on heroism and noble sacrifice.

8
00:01:11.570 --> 00:01:19.780
It was built by men and women who answered a call beyond duty, who gave more than was expected or required,

9
00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:23.850
and who gave it little thought of worldly reward.

10
00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:33.790
Today the frontier is space and the boundaries of human knowledge.

11
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.360
Sometimes when we reach for the stars, we fall short.

12
00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:45.000
But we must pick ourselves up again and press on despite the pain.

13
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:59.650
Our nation is indeed fortunate that we can still draw on immense reservoirs of courage, character, and fortitude.

14
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:12.800
Your families and your country mourn your passing.

15
00:02:13.700 --> 00:02:16.500
We bid you goodbye.

16
00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:18.100
We will never forget you.
