Americans must always remember that our way of life is not the natural condition of mankind. Everything we've achieved, everything that we are, everything that we hope to become is built on the courage of those willing to endure and unimaginable and to some just unbearable and to stand strong when all else gives way, to stand stronger than anybody that's ever stood before. And I will never allow anyone to hurt our country. We're not going to allow anyone to hurt or damage our country with bad, foolish, hollow-eyed energy. And everyone knows what I mean. In 2010, Green Beret Ryan Hendrickson was leading his team through a Taliban-held village in Afghanistan at 3 in the morning when he stepped on enemy explosives. It was the end. It was all over. He made a mistake, a mistake that people understood when they were in the battles of jungles. He stepped on enemy explosives, a lot of them. The blast ripped through his lower body and he looked down to see his shattered bones protruding from his absolutely mangled leg and arm. Certain that he would die, Ryan's only thought as he was airlifted away was the man he was leaving behind. He endured 27 surgeries and two cardiac arrests, but the doctors saved both his life and his leg. They told him his combat career was over, but Ryan was not done.

Thank you very much for the usefulness of the audience, which we don't like. Thank you for this year. Ryan, please stand up. Thank you. These are very brave people. Visit our troops anywhere. And I do it as often as possible. But anywhere in the world I see that same fierce determination burning in their eyes and that same love of country beating in their hearts. I'm pleased to report that the spirit of our armed forces is higher than ever before and that we have the best recruitment numbers in the history of our country. There's never been recruitment anywhere near that. Thank you very much. General Kane, thank you. Pete, thank you. Great Spirit, the tremendous Spirit.
