00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:04,940 --> 00:00:07,260
Okay . Good day . Army Family . This is 

3
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:09,510
Brigadier General Early Lipinski from 

4
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:11,566
the 80 50 United States Army Reserve 

5
00:00:11,566 --> 00:00:13,732
Support Command . Today I want to take 

6
00:00:13,732 --> 00:00:16,050
a few moments of self reflect on the 

7
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:18,106
day of remembrance of victims of the 

8
00:00:18,106 --> 00:00:20,990
Holocaust . I find this day a personal 

9
00:00:20,990 --> 00:00:23,230
day of observation and self reflection 

10
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:25,462
as my grandmother , my grandfather were 

11
00:00:25,462 --> 00:00:27,550
both in concentration camps my 

12
00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:30,560
grandmother in Auschwitz , Poland and 

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,449
my grandfather in Bergen Bells in 

14
00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:35,160
Germany . The stories that I heard from 

15
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,090
them make me self reflect with my 

16
00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:39,257
grandmother going out to get a loaf of 

17
00:00:39,257 --> 00:00:41,201
bread and coming home , her family 

18
00:00:41,201 --> 00:00:43,146
murdered and her taken to a camp . 

19
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:47,050
Similarly , my grandfather was moved 

20
00:00:47,050 --> 00:00:50,120
out of Ukraine and eventually wound up 

21
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,176
in a prison of war camp fighting for 

22
00:00:52,176 --> 00:00:54,500
the resistance and subsequently in the 

23
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:57,160
concentration camp in Bergen Belsen . 

24
00:00:57,940 --> 00:01:00,080
My father was actually born in Bergen 

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,300
Belsen camp upon repatriation in what 

26
00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:05,240
became a Red Cross international 

27
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,020
displaced person camp . We're fortunate 

28
00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:10,131
enough to make it through these times 

29
00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:12,309
with my family immigrating to the 

30
00:01:12,309 --> 00:01:15,040
United States and loving America for 

31
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,460
what it is today . My father , my uncle 

32
00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:20,692
and myself all went into the profession 

33
00:01:20,692 --> 00:01:23,200
of arms and we stand here today to take 

34
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,410
a look at this self reflection that we 

35
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:28,320
have on this day of remembrance . So 

36
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,209
today I ask everybody in our army 

37
00:01:30,209 --> 00:01:32,042
family to take a moment and self 

38
00:01:32,042 --> 00:01:34,264
reflect on what we do in our profession 

39
00:01:34,264 --> 00:01:37,010
of arms . Continue to treat others with 

40
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:39,460
dignity and respect . I ask that you 

41
00:01:39,460 --> 00:01:41,460
maintain the army values and keep a 

42
00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:43,404
high standard for those within our 

43
00:01:43,404 --> 00:01:46,020
ranks and the community . And probably 

44
00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:48,210
most importantly , I ask that you take 

45
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:50,670
the personal and moral courage to stand 

46
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:53,330
up against extremism and racism in our 

47
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:55,580
ranks . Again . I thank you for your 

48
00:01:55,580 --> 00:01:59,450
time today , people First Army strong .
