“Yesterday, when I was in San Antonio, where I stood alongside of 109 students who had been admitted to service academies for this upcoming year, This was the 20th time that we've had this academy send off. and it remains my favorite event of the year because these young men and women, the leaders of our military and our communities in our nation tomorrow, give me great hope and optimism for our future.” (06:21–06:26)
