00:07.070 --> 00:09.152
- It was a no brainer, of course,

00:09.152 --> 00:11.620
this is the obvious
choice we need to paint.

00:11.620 --> 00:13.690
All of us go through these struggles

00:13.690 --> 00:15.420
to come up through the ranks as she has

00:15.420 --> 00:17.690
and done, especially well.

00:17.690 --> 00:19.800
This painting, we're hopping,

00:19.800 --> 00:21.503
will inspire the next generation.

00:27.325 --> 00:29.825
(crowd cheer)

00:32.434 --> 00:33.860
- This picture is really not

00:33.860 --> 00:36.060
a representation of Stayce Harris,

00:36.060 --> 00:38.980
it's a representation of
our Department of Defense.

00:38.980 --> 00:41.460
And our Air Force as the
world's greatest Air Force,

00:41.460 --> 00:42.690
showing its commitment

00:42.690 --> 00:45.390
and how much it values the contributions

00:45.390 --> 00:49.000
of 100% of those who
serve regardless of race,

00:49.000 --> 00:51.920
gender, ethnicity or religious preferences

00:51.920 --> 00:53.630
and that made me very proud.

00:53.630 --> 00:57.530
And also, to be a representation to women

00:57.530 --> 01:02.530
and to people of color, of
what they could aspire to be

01:03.200 --> 01:05.013
because it is absolutely possible.
