00:00:01,090 --> 00:00:02,937
- Hello, I'm Colonel Eric Noe,

2
00:00:02,937 --> 00:00:04,540
Commander of the Little Rock District

3
00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:07,070
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

4
00:00:07,070 --> 00:00:09,250
I'd like to take a moment to recognize

5
00:00:09,250 --> 00:00:11,000
our nation's essential workers,

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,800
and the tremendous
effort they're putting in

7
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,130
to make sure core services
remain available to the public

8
00:00:16,130 --> 00:00:17,530
during this pandemic.

9
00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:19,340
This includes our healthcare workers,

10
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:21,510
law enforcement, first responders,

11
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:23,810
the many staff who
support them in the field

12
00:00:23,810 --> 00:00:27,250
and in hospitals, clinics,
and longterm care facilities,

13
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:29,880
as well as grocery store
employees, warehouse workers,

14
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,410
and postal workers.

15
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:34,040
You continually provide critical
support to our communities

16
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,520
through these challenging times

17
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,980
and it does not go unnoticed.

18
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:40,890
I'd also like to thank
the tireless efforts

19
00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:42,920
of my comrades in the Corps of Engineers,

20
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,200
who are contributing
to the fight everyday.

21
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,840
Because of them, our
nation's navigation channels,

22
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,240
reservoirs, hydro power
plants, and so much more

23
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,550
continue to operate seamlessly.

24
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:56,040
On behalf of myself, my
family, and everyone here

25
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,530
in the Little Rock District,

26
00:00:57,530 --> 00:00:59,030
thank you for all that you do.
