1
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:02,010
but I had the whole saga , 

2
00:00:03,140 --> 00:00:05,470
we're participating in the long night 

3
00:00:05,470 --> 00:00:07,637
of science , which is an event that is 

4
00:00:07,637 --> 00:00:09,581
going on in Germany that put on in 

5
00:00:09,581 --> 00:00:11,692
Nuremberg . Um , and what we're doing 

6
00:00:11,692 --> 00:00:13,803
is we're doing a mock court martial . 

7
00:00:13,803 --> 00:00:15,859
Um , so basically the event is about 

8
00:00:15,859 --> 00:00:17,803
doing the german system , um , the 

9
00:00:17,803 --> 00:00:17,710
german legal system and then we're also 

10
00:00:17,710 --> 00:00:19,932
doing the american side to show kind of 

11
00:00:19,932 --> 00:00:21,710
the differences between the two 

12
00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:23,860
differences . This is a really 

13
00:00:23,860 --> 00:00:26,082
important event and it's something that 

14
00:00:26,082 --> 00:00:28,360
we are Just absolutely honored to be a 

15
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,471
part of , it's a privilege to be here 

16
00:00:30,471 --> 00:00:32,693
in courtroom 600 with all the history . 

17
00:00:32,693 --> 00:00:34,804
This is really the nexus of Jag corps 

18
00:00:34,804 --> 00:00:36,471
history . Um , and we have an 

19
00:00:36,471 --> 00:00:38,790
opportunity to show our system of 

20
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,810
justice by performing a court martial 

21
00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:44,560
um , for our german audience and our 

22
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,140
host nation and hopefully it's a 

23
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:49,307
learning event not only for them , but 

24
00:00:49,307 --> 00:00:51,529
for us Because we get to learn a little 

25
00:00:51,529 --> 00:00:53,696
bit about their system as well . So it 

26
00:00:53,696 --> 00:00:55,807
goes both directions . I've been with 

27
00:00:55,807 --> 00:00:57,973
the military for 25 years And there is 

28
00:00:57,973 --> 00:01:00,420
things that really stand out . And I 

29
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:03,440
remember when we were in courtroom 605 

30
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,551
years ago for the first time , we all 

31
00:01:05,551 --> 00:01:08,250
looked at each other and we felt the 

32
00:01:08,250 --> 00:01:10,472
touch of history upon us . That's how I 

33
00:01:10,472 --> 00:01:12,639
would put it . And I had goose bumps . 

34
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:14,861
My dad is a history teacher and I think 

35
00:01:14,861 --> 00:01:16,972
he would have been very proud of me . 

36
00:01:16,972 --> 00:01:18,972
So , um , this is really one of the 

37
00:01:18,972 --> 00:01:21,070
highlights of my career . There is a 

38
00:01:21,070 --> 00:01:23,870
lot of good things that I come across 

39
00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:26,010
in my work . But this is really super 

40
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:27,010
special 

41
00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:30,950
Weakness when 

42
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,320
were coming on and the 

43
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:42,860
Americans are back in courtroom 600 .
