Tiger Woods Inaugural① Celebration Speech: “You’ll Never Walk Alone”

January 18, 2009

I grew up in a military family-and my role models in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods.

My dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented every branch of the service, and every rank. In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand the dedication of those who serve. They come from every walk of life②. From every part of our country. Time and again, across generations, they have defended our safety in the dark of night and far from home.

Each day- and particularly on this historic day- we honor the men and women in uniform who serve our country and protect our freedom. They travel to the dagerous coners of the world③, and we must remember that for every person who is in uniform, there are families who wait for them to come home safely.

I am honored that the military is such an important part, not just of my personal life, but of my professional one as well. The golf tournament we do each year here in Washington is a testament④to those unsung heroes⑤. I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his country, family and military, and I am a better person for it.

In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man at whose meorial we stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment⑥ and said:

“I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country⑦.”

Just as they have stood tall for our country-we must always stand by and support the men and women in uniform and their families.

Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the US Naval Glee Club.
