preschoolers.

8
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:13,146
Marked the first
Memorial Day since our

9
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:15,148
War in Afghanistan
came to an end.

10
00:00:15,148 --> 00:00:17,150
Hosted the NATO Secretary
General in the Oval Office

11
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:19,819
and answered your questions
on climate change during a

12
00:00:19,819 --> 00:00:21,186

13
00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:25,191

Multiple Speakers:
(inaudible)

16
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,061
Narrator: On Friday, the President greeted rabbis

17
00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:32,165
at Adas Israel, one of
Washington's oldest synagogues.

18
00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:34,400
There he marched Jewish
American Heritage Month

19
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:37,337
and the solidarity Shabbat
movement which gives leaders

20
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:40,039
a chance to publicly stand
against anti Semitism and

21
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:41,574
bigotry in all of its forms.

22
00:00:41,574 --> 00:00:43,576
The President: To a young
man like me, grappling

23
00:00:43,576 --> 00:00:46,880
with his own identity,
recognizing the scars

24
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,015
of race here in
this nation.

25
00:00:49,015 --> 00:00:51,718
Inspired by the Civil
Rights struggle.

26
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:54,454
The idea that you could be
grounded in your history

27
00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:59,292
as Israel was, but
not be trapped by it.

28
00:00:59,292 --> 00:01:00,593
That idea was liberated.

29
00:01:00,593 --> 00:01:03,963
The example of Israel and
its values was inspiring.

30
00:01:03,963 --> 00:01:08,201
So when I hear some people
say that disagreements over

31
00:01:08,201 --> 00:01:11,538
policy belie a general
lack of support of Israel,

32
00:01:11,538 --> 00:01:13,940
I must object.

33
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:14,941
And I object forcefully.

34
00:01:14,941 --> 00:01:16,676
(applause)

35
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:18,011
Narrator: After his
speech, the President

36
00:01:18,011 --> 00:01:19,913
made an impromptu
visit to a classroom

37
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:20,979
full of youngsters.

38
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:22,715
(singing and clapping)

39
00:01:22,715 --> 00:01:25,552
The President: How
are you doing?

40
00:01:25,552 --> 00:01:27,821
Later that afternoon,
back at the White House,

41
00:01:27,821 --> 00:01:30,223
the President hosted foreign
diplomats for an annual

42
00:01:30,223 --> 00:01:31,224
reception in the East Room.

43
00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:32,225

44
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:34,226

Day, the President

45
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:36,229
joined 5,000 people at
Arlington National Cemetery

46
00:01:36,229 --> 00:01:38,531
to lay a wreath at the tomb
of the Unknown Soldier and

47
00:01:38,531 --> 00:01:40,733
reflect on the day with the
families of those who have

48
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:42,869
sacrificed so much
for our country.

49
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:45,572
(trumpet plays "Taps")

50
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:46,906
The President: Families
and friends of our

51
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:51,110
fallen, it is my deep
honor to share this

52
00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:53,112
day with you again.

53
00:01:53,112 --> 00:01:55,014
For many of us,
this Memorial Day

54
00:01:55,014 --> 00:01:56,716
is especially meaningful.

55
00:01:56,716 --> 00:01:59,518
It is the first since our
War in Afghanistan came

56
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:01,020
to an end.

57
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:03,289
Today is the first Memorial
Day in 14 years that the

58
00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:07,894
United States has not engaged
in a major ground war.

59
00:02:07,894 --> 00:02:10,964
So on this day we honor the
sacrifice of the thousands

60
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:14,133
of Americans service
members, men and women, who

61
00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:18,972
gave their lives since 9/11
including more than 2,200

62
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:22,175
Americans patriots who made
the ultimate sacrifice in

63
00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:23,176
Afghanistan.

64
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:27,513

NATO Secretary General
Stoltenberg in the Oval Office

67
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:32,952
after their
bi-lateral meeting.

68
00:02:32,952 --> 00:02:35,121
The President: We
affirm that NATO is the

69
00:02:35,121 --> 00:02:38,691
cornerstone, not just of
trans-Atlantic security

70
00:02:38,691 --> 00:02:41,694
but in many ways
is the cornerstone

71
00:02:41,694 --> 00:02:42,795
for global security.

72
00:02:42,795 --> 00:02:44,797

00:03:13,226 --> 00:03:15,228
It's the people's house
and I wouldn't be here

86
00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:16,829

Vivian Bailey:
Surprise, surprise.

88
00:03:18,698 --> 00:03:21,234
