1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,329
Position of colors for the senior 

2
00:00:03,329 --> 00:00:05,273
elicit advisor to the Chief of the 

3
00:00:05,273 --> 00:00:07,496
National Guard Bureau . It's a badge of 

4
00:00:07,496 --> 00:00:09,551
honor for our Alis Force and it's an 

5
00:00:09,551 --> 00:00:11,662
evolution of who we are as a National 

6
00:00:11,662 --> 00:00:14,590
Guard . We've been around since 1636 

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,711
and we have been an institution to be 

8
00:00:16,711 --> 00:00:18,739
reckoned with since then . We are a 

9
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:21,190
phenomenal force and this is only a 

10
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,089
recognition of something that has 

11
00:00:23,089 --> 00:00:25,200
already been in place for hundreds of 

12
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,422
years . So what it means for the future 

13
00:00:27,422 --> 00:00:29,533
of the c elicit advisor , I would say 

14
00:00:29,533 --> 00:00:31,756
it just means that it's a reaffirmation 

15
00:00:31,756 --> 00:00:33,922
of the hard work that needs to be done 

16
00:00:33,922 --> 00:00:35,978
and that has been done is it reminds 

17
00:00:35,978 --> 00:00:38,560
those that come um years after the c 

18
00:00:38,569 --> 00:00:40,790
elicit advisor that this is something 

19
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:42,855
not only to aspire to but to hold in 

20
00:00:42,855 --> 00:00:44,799
the highest regard and to do their 

21
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:46,855
absolute best to represent it in its 

22
00:00:46,855 --> 00:00:50,540
absolute best . Encasing the se A 

23
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:52,939
colors honors the contributions of our 

24
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:54,783
National Guard , senior enlisted 

25
00:00:54,783 --> 00:00:58,669
leadership past and present . This rule 

26
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,990
joins two illicit forces with two 

27
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,900
unique cultures , the army and the Air 

28
00:01:03,909 --> 00:01:06,449
Force united by their duties and 

29
00:01:06,459 --> 00:01:08,220
identity as guardsmen . 

30
00:01:12,209 --> 00:01:14,320
You know , to be able to go somewhere 

31
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,487
with the flag of our enlisted National 

32
00:01:16,487 --> 00:01:18,653
Guard force . I'll tell you what it is 

33
00:01:18,653 --> 00:01:20,709
going to be something that will make 

34
00:01:20,709 --> 00:01:22,931
people stand just a little taller . The 

35
00:01:22,931 --> 00:01:25,153
position of colors represent the entire 

36
00:01:25,153 --> 00:01:27,320
National Guard , not just the enlisted 

37
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,487
force . Uh , the colors themselves are 

38
00:01:29,487 --> 00:01:31,487
strong , they're powerful , they're 

39
00:01:31,487 --> 00:01:33,660
humble and they are service oriented 

40
00:01:33,669 --> 00:01:35,669
and that's us as a National Guard . 

41
00:01:35,669 --> 00:01:37,891
That's our institution . Always ready . 

42
00:01:37,891 --> 00:01:38,080
Always there .
