Hello DCMA . I am Chief Master Sergeant 

2
00:00:03,369 --> 00:00:05,860
Akande , the senior enlisted advisor 

3
00:00:05,860 --> 00:00:08,720
for the agency . I'm taking this 

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,887
opportunity to do a video here because 

5
00:00:10,887 --> 00:00:12,998
we're actually here at a milestone at 

6
00:00:12,998 --> 00:00:15,220
the 250th anniversary of our nation , 

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,767
and I want to take this opportunity to 

8
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:19,822
thank you for what you do day in day 

9
00:00:19,822 --> 00:00:21,933
out in support of the warfighters and 

10
00:00:21,933 --> 00:00:24,370
freedom . The question to me was , what 

11
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:26,739
does freedom mean to me ? Freedom 

12
00:00:26,739 --> 00:00:29,940
simply means the ability to pursue your 

13
00:00:29,940 --> 00:00:33,709
life goals . The pursuit of happiness 

14
00:00:33,709 --> 00:00:36,150
is what we as human beings actually aim 

15
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:38,206
for and what does happiness means to 

16
00:00:38,206 --> 00:00:40,150
you ? It could be your health , it 

17
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:42,039
could be your wealth , but in the 

18
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:43,909
overall pursuit of happiness we 

19
00:00:43,909 --> 00:00:46,409
actually know that we have that freedom 

20
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:49,110
to pursue what makes or what matters to 

21
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:51,580
us . Again , I want to take this 

22
00:00:51,580 --> 00:00:53,691
opportunity to thank you for what you 

23
00:00:53,691 --> 00:00:55,858
have done to contribute to the freedom 

24
00:00:55,858 --> 00:00:57,299
of our nation and God bless .
