at the air force memorial during our medal of honor ceremony for master sergeant john chapman and john'samily is here. thank you so much for being here. he was in uniform. he stood up every time it was required with the support of his dad and his wife. the anthem, the invocation, and every other thing that we did. six weeks later, after just six weeks after this incident, he stood on his prosthetic leg for the first time. eight days later, he was literally walking doing laps around walter reed. and just yesterday, two months after i first met him, j.d. was visiting capitol hill with brigadier general mike martin from our resilience team on his new prosthetic leg. you know, i thought it was funny, early on in his stay at walter reed, j.d. hung a huge sign on his door that he wanted every visitor to see. and the sign read, i quote, "i am good. please say hello, but do not ask me how i'm doing. i am grateful. i have zero regrets. the good we accomplished down range far outweighs the challenges i will face going forward. i would do it all over again without hesitation." and in capital letter

i would offer up what master sergeant john chapman did was fall back on his level of preparation.very extra rep he took, every piece of cognitive thinking he did, every extra lap, all went into his preparation to be there for his teammates in their time of need. i think that is an important lesson for all of us to focus on. you know, we sit there and i go back to when you look at a professional like master sergeant chapman, it really is once again something the chief talked to us about. it's about the ability for us to master our craft. it is about being those leaders of competence. it's about being those leaders of character and it's about being those leaders of consequence. are we making a difference in the lives of our airmen? are we making a difference in the lives of our service members? and once again, you could think about the interactions you have and it's just evident, you know, once again, it goes back to the talent, and we have so much forward-thinking talent across our force at the e5, literally breathtaking. about three yeweeks ago, had th opportunity to travel with a

so there was some visionaries at that time and there's one that even pre-dated mac, john chapman. he made that comment if you can read it on the slide, i won't repeat it. he said that in 196p, was the centennial of canada, we just had our susquu centennial, so 150 years, so when he read this he had noint grtgram how space would be to our everyday life and to our economy as a nation. so that's clearly why canada's been driving and being part of this and why it's so important for us in the future. now by the way this is the same for a lot of these same factors that address what you would have in the united states and nations around the world. you see with the comment that sylvain made that there's so many nations involved in investigate in space. given the characteristics of canada it's probably more important for canada than a lot of those other nations. this is again a bit of simplistic view of the world. but sylvain talked about our contributions to civil space programs. and he talked about ournes capabilities. i tried to broadly address what our northeast capabilities are. dolla
