(soft strings music)

00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:25,925
- Gatherings like this
fill my heart and soul

3
00:00:25,925 --> 00:00:28,667
with a passion for earlier days.

4
00:00:28,667 --> 00:00:31,750
(soft strings music)

5
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,468
One of our initial goals
as a unit was to become

6
00:00:39,468 --> 00:00:41,903
an invaluable asset to the active duty.

7
00:00:42,743 --> 00:00:47,743
Become experts in some mission
area that earned the respect

8
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,055
of our active brethren.

00:00:50,055 --> 00:00:53,388
(soft electronic music)

10
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,460
So here we are today, 25 years
later, with a lot of time,

11
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:03,260
a number of missions that
many personnel passing under

12
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:05,800
the 7 SOPS flag.

13
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,900
I believe that some of the
same keys the led to the 7 SOPS

14
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:13,620
mission success are
applicable to the 7 SOPS today

15
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:14,520
and in the future.

16
00:01:15,453 --> 00:01:19,500
7 SOPS will continue to grow
and succeed because the team

17
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:24,500
in '93 was committed to
excellence, that spirit,

18
00:01:25,243 --> 00:01:28,409
to be passed on through the years,

19
00:01:28,409 --> 00:01:32,163
the men and women of the 7 SOPS today.
