It's
an
honor
to
be
here
as
the
son
of
a
veteran
as
a
father
of
a
united
states,
air
force
and
a
brother
of
a
united
states
salesman
on
the
navy
in
the
navy.
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
to
offer
an
invitation
this
morning
to
this
wonderful
occasion
that
we
recognize
the
sacrifice
of
all
those
and
give
us
this
opportunity
to
be
here
amen
before
I
act,
go
into
prayer
and
actually
love
the
blessings
occasion.
D
I
just
want
to
read
a
psalm,
a
scripture
from
the
book
of
psalms
verses,
chapter
27,
verses
three
to
four,
and
it
says
though
I
am,
though
I
am
in
the
army
and
beseech
me.
My
heart
will
not
fear
the
wars
break
out
against
me.
Even
when
I
will
be
confident
that
one
thing
I
will
ask
for
the
lord.
That
is
that
I
only
seek
that.
I
may
dwell
in
the
house
of
the
lord
all
the
days
of
my
life.
D
I
will
gaze
into
refuse
and
see
the
iniquity
of
his
love
for
the
lord.
I
do
seek
him
in
his
temple.
Let
us
pray
heavenly
father.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
be
here
on
this
memorial
day.
Lord
we
come
and
we
pray
for
those
who
couragely
gave
their
life
for
sacrifice
to
make
this
cause
freedom
free
for
us
today.
D
Thank
you
for
this
day,
as
we
head
into
this
day
as
we
reflect
on
those
who
have
went
before
us,
may
we
remember
the
sacrifice
that
have
been
made
for
our
freedom
of
this
united
states
of
america.
Thank
you
for
the
price
that
they
paid
that
we
may
live
in
a
country
where
we
can.
Unity
of
all
nations
can
come
together
and
reflect
the
beauty
of
your
dwelling
and
also
your
creation.
D
May
we
never
forget
the
gracious
sacrifices
they
have
made
for
this
day
here
that
we
celebrate?
Oh
father,
god.
We
just
thank
you
o
lord,
for
this
country,
because
you
have
done
such
great
things
and
we
are
gratefully
and
we
are
thankful.
Lord.
You
have
always
given
us
the
ones
that
have
bravely
given.
D
D
We
thank
you
for
the
determination
of
our
government
lord,
to
continue
to
fight
for
peace,
to
offer
sacrifices
of
love
and
as
we
pray
today,
lord,
we
actually
will
bless
each
and
every
survivor
member
of
our
wars
to
be
able
to
continue
to
lead
a
life
that
we
will
be
able
to
look
into
all
the
beauty
that
they
have
sacrificed.
So
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
be
with
you,
your
people.
On
this
day
we
pray,
amen.
F
First
I'd
like
to
welcome
everybody
here
today
today
that
we
should
remember
all
those
who
sacrificed
their
lives
for
us
to
be
here
today
on
on
this
day
and
to
those
fallen
soldiers
to
my
left,
our
11
brothers,
who
went
to
vietnam
and
didn't
come
home,
they're
all
chelsea,
guys
all
kids
who
went
to
school
here
in
chelsea
at
this
time.
I'd
like
to
recognize
my
colleagues
who
are
here,
president
roy
calvin
judith
giovanni
e
niels
todd
from
the
school
committee
side,
naomi
jeannette
and
roberto.
F
It
is
an
honor
to
pay
tribute
to
you,
the
vietnam
veteran
who
answered
the
call
to
defend,
protect
and
serve
our
country
and
its
citizens
as
a
nation
we
are
who
we
are
today
because
of
the
incredible
brave
men
and
women
of
vietnam
war
who
have
set
an
example
of
unity,
public
service
and
selfish
devotion.
9-1-1.
F
F
F
B
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
call
to
the
podium
our
superintendent,
dr
almi
abeda,
without
her
and
her
staff
and
her
team's
work
I'll
just
be
close
to
impossible
and
I'm
grateful
every
year
so
to
some
it
might
seem,
like
I
say
the
same
thing,
but
I
assure
you
in
sincerity
I'm
very
grateful
for
what
our
school
department
does.
For
this
event.
G
Good
afternoon
it's
a
pleasure
always
to
be
here,
and
this
is
our
first
time
outside
in
a
while.
So
I'm
just
grateful
for
this
opportunity.
Speaking
from
someone
as
a
young
child
who
lived
the
military
life
for
22
years,
my
father
was
in
the
air
force
and
we
moved
around
a
lot.
This
is
especially
special
for
me,
so
thank
you
francisco
for
all
that
you
do
for
planning
and
thank
you
to
all
of
our
veterans.
We
honor
you
today
we're
so
grateful
to
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
sacrifice
that
he's
given.
G

Each
school
was
named
after
a
soldier
who
died
protecting
our
freedom
and
one
of
the
wars
of
the
20th
century,
although
only
one
name
appears
on
each
school
building,
it
represents
all
chelsea
residents
who
died
in
battle,
so
what
I'll
do
now
is?
I
will
invite
up
julianna.
I
revolve
from
grade
8
from
the
morris
seagull
clark
avenue,
and
she
will
be
doing
the
the
governor's
proclamation
so
juliana.
I
And
whereas
is
it
appropriate
that
all
massachusetts
citizens
remember
the
bravery
of
those
who
gave
their
lives
so
that
their
sacrifices
serve
as
a
reminder
of
the
cause
of
our
freedom?
Now,
therefore,
I,
charles
d
baker,
governor
of
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
do
hoover
proclaim,
may
30th
2022
to
be
memorial
day
and
urge
all
citizens
of
commonwealth
take
cognizance
of
this
event
and
participate
fittingly
in
its
observance.

Thank
you
good
morning,
I
gotta
admit
when
dr
baker
asked
me,
you
know
to
talk
today
and
to
share
a
little
bit
about
my
story
and
how
the
military
was
beneficial
to
my
life.
I
kind
of
didn't
know
how
to
connect
it
to
memorial
day.
When
we
look
at
memorial
day,
we
obviously
are
respecting
the
fallen
soldiers
in
combat
and
when
we
think
about
my
story,
you
know
the
military
did
everything
opposite
right.
It
saved
my
life
in
so
many
different
ways.
N
It
provided
opportunity
in
so
many
different
ways
that
when
I
started
a
you
know,
I
even
started
to
look
at
information
online.
I
went
to
the
va
website
started.
Looking
at
you
know
the
different
reasons
and
the
you
know
the
amount
of
soldiers
that
have
died
in
combat
the
amount
of
soldiers
that
have
been
deployed
to
combat
the
most
important
statistic
that
I
think
it's
missing
is
the
amount
of
lives
like
mine
that
the
military
saved
you
know
when
I
entered
the
military.
I
you
know
I
still
remember.
N
N
You
know
I
was
headed
down
the
wrong
path
and
I
was
headed
down
that
way
fast.
I
think
about
a
lot
of
the
students
that
I
work
with
now
at
the
high
school,
and
you
know
the
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
shocker
or
something
that
I
should
self-reflect
on
a
little
bit
more,
but
with
most
behaviors
that
we
see
on
the
high
school,
it's
still
nothing
compared
to
the
challenges
that
I
put
myself
through
it
wasn't
until
I
would
join
the
military
that
I
started
to
see.
N
You
know
a
purpose
started
to
identify
some
leadership,
qualities
that
I
had
that
I
didn't
know
existed.
The
leadership
qualities
that
I
exhibited
in
high
school
were
much
about
taking
people
down
the
wrong
path
with
me
and
the
military
kind
of
not
kind
of
it
made
me
wake
up
and
think
about
a
lot
of
things
different
now.
It
was
interesting
that
I
took
some
of
these
paths
because
you
know
growing
up.
My
dad
is
a
36-year
veteran
first
sergeant
in
the
army.
N
My
own
son
is
in
africa
right
now,
he's
on
the
second
deployment
with
the
army
he's
an
infantry
uncles,
and
so
it's
not
like,
like
I
can
sit
here
and
say
that
my
life
was
doomed
or
I
had
every
card
against
me.
It
was
the
path
that
I
took
the
choices
that
I
made
that
made
my
life
a
little
bit
of
a
struggle.
N
N
You
know
a
bad
rap
in
some
cases
because
of
the
organization
it
stands
for,
and
it's
just
false
in
every
aspect.
You
know
you
think
about
the
the
amount
of
people
that
the
military
has
helped.
You
know
to
not
only
abroad,
but
in
our
nation
but
along
with
its
soldiers
itself,
and
that's
that's-
we
can't
quantify
that
number.
So
I
always
think
it's
important
that
we
come
back
to
that
and
say:
hey
here's,
what
the
military
has
really
done.
You
know
when
you
are
in
the
military.
N
N
Now.
The
most
important
fact
of
the
60
that's
actually
used
to
go
to
college
56
of
the
60
of
the
soldiers
that
go
to
college
are
first
generation
college
students,
there's
no
other
department
in
the
world,
there's
no
other
organization
in
the
world
that
can
say
that
they
have
been
able
to
achieve
50,
56
percent
of
their
population
as
first
generation
college
students,
and
that
kind
of
rang
about
me,
because
I
am
a
first
generation
college
students
working
with
some
of
our
students
that
are
even
here
in
the
audience.
N
Today
they
are
going
to
be
first-generation
college
students
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
shift.
You
know
we
all
talk
a
good
game
when
it
comes
to
equity
and
what
we're
doing
to
close
the
achievement
gap.
The
military
has
been
so
far
ahead
of
us
for
for
a
number
of
years,
and
we
really
need
to
think
about
what
the
military
is
doing
and
how
we
can
follow
their
guidance
in
every
organization
and
the
structure
that
they've
developed
so
that
we
can
better
ourselves
and
again.
N
I
want
to
share
that
number
just
because
it's
so
important,
but
56
percent
of
the
students
that
attend
college
through
the
military
are
first
generation
college
students
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
tackle
here
in
chelsea.
Those
are
the
changes,
we're
trying
to
change
in
chelsea
and
that's
really
how
we
bridge
the
equity
gap
and
and
make
a
difference
with
our
minority
populations.
People
like
myself
as
a
mexican
american.
You
know
we
black
and
brown
throughout
our
country.
N
N
Those
are
the
qualities
that
we
don't
value
enough
of
our
soldiers
of
our
fallen,
and
I
want
to
remind
anytime
you
guys,
get
an
opportunity
think
about
the
benefits
and
think
about
how
we've
been
given
the
opportunity
to
speak
our
mind
to
head
to
pathways
that
we
never
thought
were
possible
and
to
be
successful.
For
who
we
are,
you
know
if
I
look
back,
I
graduated
in
1994
and
I'll
share
one
story
without
the
details.
N
You
know
here
I
am
today,
you
know
the
guest
speaker
for
memorial
day,
an
assistant
superintendent,
acting
principal
with
these
fine
young
men
and
women
to
my
right
and
who
would
have
thought
you
know
20
some
years
later.
Here's
where
I
would
be
so
every
day
to
me
is
a
blessing
and
every
day.
I
need
to
remember
myself
too,
to
thank
my
military.
N
We
all
want
to
be
able
to
have
the
rights
of
freedom,
but
we
don't
thank
the
people
that
actually
gave
us
these
rights
and
we
don't
share
how
much
we
appreciate
to
them,
and
I
also
want
to
point
this
out
as
well
too
in
the
military.
The
most
beautiful
thing
about
us
serving
as
well
too,
is
it's
not
about
party
when
it
comes
to
us.
Political
aspirations
mean
nothing
to
us
when
we
are
in
the
military
we
fight
for
the
constitution.
We
fight
for
freedom
bottom
line.
It's
not
about
our
opinion.
N
N
N
The
the
freedoms
we
have
to
protest,
our
government,
we
earned
them
through
the
military,
the
freedoms
we
have
for
somebody
to
take
a
knee
on
a
football
field.
We
earn
that
right
through
the
military,
it's
not
about
casting
judgment
about
how
they're,
demonstrating
their
rights
and
how
they're
demonstrating
their
freedom.
It's
about
remembering
that
that's
the
most
beautiful
thing
about
our
nation
is
the
ability
to
challenge
our
government,
the
ability
to
speak
freely
on
how
we
believe
and
the
ability
to
have
a
freedom
that
no
other
nation
can
duplicate.
N
A
B
B
A
A
A
B
B
A
E
As
francisco
said,
I
think
we
really
are
in
good
hands
in
the
city
with
these
young
leaders
that
are
before
us.
I
also
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
those
out
here
who
are
veterans
who
joined
us.
Your
service
to
our
nation
is
is
greatly
valued
by
the
city
and
we're
deeply
appreciative
of
your
honorable
service.
E
I
hope
that
not
only
will
we
remember
those
who
died
in
service
of
our
nation,
but
let's
keep
and
I
pray
is
all
those
serving
all
around
the
world
in
our
military
who
at
any
moment
might
be
called
and
deployed
to
a
place
where
their
lives
are
in
grave
danger.
So
may
god
bless
all
those
servants
and
keep
them
out
of
harm's
way.
