Relief i am no longer the only world war i guy here, but a gentleman for whom i have tremendous respect, personally and for his scholarship, dr. John mauro. John has really become a pillar in the faculty at the university of georgia, and in the field of military history more widely although of course he and i share a great interest in the First World War and have both done work in that era. Johns work is not limited to world war i as you can see today but world war ii and to other conflicts in American Military history. Also earlier this month, the Pritzker Military museum and library awarded john the 2019 Pritzker Military museum and Library Literature award a Lifetime Achievement in military writing. And i cant think of anybody who deserves it more. [applause] thank you, john. Thanks very much, ed. Are you ready to take to the air . Are you tired of being on the ground . Have you had enough no . You are about to get more but from above. Look above you. T51, but it is in the insignia
