uh Gina Sweat, just a regular old civilian, citizen of the city of Memphis. Uh I want to thank you for this recognition. [clears throat] I had the privilege of working alongside one of the best fire departments in this country. They show up. As [snorts] we say on the street, they show out. They show up on people's worst days and they bring skill, courage, and heart every single time. [snorts] Cuz that's what our profession demands. Uh sorry. This [snorts] work will test you. It will challenge you. And it will require you to stand firm in who you are. It requires you to follow through on what you promised to do, especially when that's not easy. But I've learned this, if you do the work, [snorts] if you stay ready, and if you step forward when the moment calls for, no one can ever take that away from you. I'm proud of the work we've done. I'm proud [snorts] of the people I've served with. And I'm proud of the way I showed up. For those coming behind me, do the work. Be ready. And don't let anything move you off of who you are. Thank you.
