-So are you proud of your boy, Avery?
-What?
1:06:06
Oh, yeah!
I couldnt be any more proud, Ernie.
1:06:10
I think Spencers got a big future
ahead of him. What do you say?
1:06:21
You know, folks, here in Lawson...
1:06:25
...we gave a lot to our country.
A lot.
1:06:28
And we never complained.
1:06:32
And we never faltered.
1:06:35
And we never forgot.
1:06:40
We never forgot.
1:06:43
And so, when one of our own...
1:06:46
...came back to us,
it was like a miracle.
1:06:49
Luke...
1:06:52
...seeing you walk down the street,
it was....
1:06:57
It was kind of like seeing one
of my own boys alive again.
1:07:02
I think I speak for all of us here
when I say...
1:07:06
...that not a day goes by...
1:07:09
...that we dont keep
our boys memories alive.
1:07:13
But, Luke, having you back among us...
1:07:18
...that helps us keep
their spirits alive too.
1:07:22
God bless you, son. God bless you.
1:07:32
Now, on a lighter note...
1:07:35
...weve had a special request
from one of Lawsons luminaries...
1:07:40
...Irene Terwilliger.
Irene, come up here.
1:07:46
There you are.
1:07:50
Ive tutored music in this town...
1:07:52
...for more years than I care to say.
1:07:56
In fact, many of you here tonight have
been my students through the years.
