- Hello, I'm Colonel Eric Noe,

00:02.937 --> 00:04.540
Commander of the Little Rock District

00:04.540 --> 00:07.070
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

00:07.070 --> 00:09.250
I'd like to take a moment to recognize

00:09.250 --> 00:11.000
our nation's essential workers,

00:11.000 --> 00:12.800
and the tremendous
effort they're putting in

00:12.800 --> 00:16.130
to make sure core services
remain available to the public

00:16.130 --> 00:17.530
during this pandemic.

00:17.530 --> 00:19.340
This includes our healthcare workers,

00:19.340 --> 00:21.510
law enforcement, first responders,

00:21.510 --> 00:23.810
the many staff who
support them in the field

00:23.810 --> 00:27.250
and in hospitals, clinics,
and longterm care facilities,

00:27.250 --> 00:29.880
as well as grocery store
employees, warehouse workers,

00:29.880 --> 00:31.410
and postal workers.

00:31.410 --> 00:34.040
You continually provide critical
support to our communities

00:34.040 --> 00:35.520
through these challenging times

00:35.520 --> 00:37.980
and it does not go unnoticed.

00:37.980 --> 00:40.890
I'd also like to thank
the tireless efforts

00:40.890 --> 00:42.920
of my comrades in the Corps of Engineers,

00:42.920 --> 00:45.200
who are contributing
to the fight everyday.

00:45.200 --> 00:47.840
Because of them, our
nation's navigation channels,

00:47.840 --> 00:51.240
reservoirs, hydro power
plants, and so much more

00:51.240 --> 00:53.550
continue to operate seamlessly.

00:53.550 --> 00:56.040
On behalf of myself, my
family, and everyone here

00:56.040 --> 00:57.530
in the Little Rock District,

00:57.530 --> 00:59.030
thank you for all that you do.
