Caldwell, IV, the question was asked, "What does it takes for a regular citizen to rise to the challenge and be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in service to their nation?" Caldwell answers the question, "The values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless-service, honor, integrity, and personal courage," adding that each and every nation shows these values in their service to their countries. Caldwell closed his speech by saying, "Let us all use this day to focus our thoughts and prayers to cherish the memory of those loved and lost in the defense of our nations." Camp Eggers is headquarters to NATO Training Command - Afghanistan.
