I could watch this all day. Wonderful job general Dempsey. Wise man.

I am an Irishman born in Waterford Ireland, I relish the traditions of Notre Dame University. This was an inspirational speech and I am sure it has attached some sentimentality to these young folk who will look back in nostalgia on this day.

Notre Dame, an expensive private school for wealthy kids.
