Marines have served as members of America's Intel Community for longer than CIA has existed. Your record is a thing of legend. In great part because of the Marines, our Nation still has its liberty. Thank you for the invitation to represent @CIA at the Evening Parade, Gen. Adams.

A CIA security officer assisting in recovery operations at the World Trade Center pulled this flag from the wreckage ten days after the forces of terror struck the Nation on 9/11. It's a powerful symbol. Through triumphs and trials alike, our Republic will endure.

Before making the ultimate sacrifice, Nathan Hale purportedly said "I only regret that I have but one life to give to my country." Each day at CIA, we carry forth this commitment to sacrifice for all Americans and our shared destiny.
