00:00I apologize. You changed the life of my boys. You really did. When I lost my son, Bo, was

00:15Attorney General of the State of Delaware. We volunteered to join the National Guard

00:23as Attorney General. You either have to be state property or federal property. He temporarily

00:34gave up his office to go with his unit for a year in Iraq. Unfortunately, I was in and

00:45out of Iraq, as Barack knows, and Afghanistan 30-some times. I got to see him several times.

00:55But the bad news was, he was about a quarter to a half mile away from a burn pit. A hundred

01:05yards long, ten feet deep, burning everything from waste to everything. Poisoning the air.

01:16And he came home with stage four glioblastoma. And he died. Your mom was there then, too.

01:33I apologize. So, from the Biden family to the Kennedy family, a hymn that's very close

01:43to our heart.
