Veterans Day Speech and Community Interaction

I'm sorry, what's going on?

Somebody's not feeling good?

We can get our doctors back there to help out.

Somebody want to go to my doctor's office and just have them?

Can somebody help out please and get Dr. Jackson in here?

Somebody grabbing our doctor?

You guys know where the doctor's office is?

To free families from the pervasive fear that one illness...

Here you go, you're okay.

Come right here.

I got you.

No, no, you're okay.

This happens when I talk too long.

You'll be okay.

Here, why don't you go?

You got it?

Come on.

Oh, it's nice to see you.

It's a hundred percent.

It's good to see you here and to see such a wonderful person.

Well, you know what?

The main thing I want to find out is what do you eat so that I can look as good as you

in a few years?

Huh?

Yeah.

Come on.

Hello, everybody.

What?

As we approach Veterans Day, I wanted to stop by and just say thank you for your extraordinary

service.

And we are very grateful, and we also happen to welcome you with a 70-degree day in D.C.,

which doesn't always happen around here.

That's the first time I've ever been to a Veterans Day.

That's the first time I've seen a president, former or current, greet.

Mainly to say thank you.

But...

The fact of the matter is that there has not been a single mission with courage, with excellence.

It's something that the entire country understands.

Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad.

And by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day.

And with that, I just have two more words to say.

Obama out.

Give me a high five, of course, we're going to have to pose for a picture.

You look so powerful.

You are so strong.

How you doing?

How are you?

Can I shake your hand?

Good to see you.

How are you?

Look at that girl.

How are you?

How are you?

Good to see you.

How are you?

Good to see you.

The door locks like ah.

But I said I wasn't going to cry if I had the opportunity to meet him.

And my mother would always say, oh, please tell him I love him.

And I said, Mom, I'm not going to meet him.

And then when he asked me, what is your name?

With everybody, the loss of life.

Things happen, it can seem a little bit too much to bear.

But what I want, but they got a lot of work to do.

Brandon, Brandon, Brandon.

Good to see you.

How are you?

Good to see you, Ryan.

How are you?

I'm here and I'm so excited.

Give me a hug.

Can I get a picture?

Yes, you can.

Oh, my gosh.

This is like the best day of my life.

Do you want one, too?

Come on, Pat.

He'll take it.

He'll take it.

Oh, my gosh.

Someone's going to think you're like wax.

My wife, Michelle, is just terrific.

And my kids are, of course, spectacular.

Malia and Sasha.

And it's the hardest thing about running for president,

is being away from the family so much.

OK, you know what?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Listen, you're in my house...

If you don't stop...

If you don't stop...

Come on.

I'm sorry.

Who's that back there?

What the heck are you talking about?

I'm proud of him.

So Josh, congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

And Natalie and Walker, thanks for putting up with all of this, because they've made

sacrifices too.

Thank you, sir.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

That's why I came.

Wow.

One of these values is freedom.
