"Hi Good evening I'm Dan Hokanson the chief of the National Guard Bureau and this evening I'm visiting some of the 65,000 National Guard soldiers and airmen that are on duty today. Today in our nations capitol our soldiers and airmen are here setup throughout the city to help protect our nations capitol. But at the same time we have thousands around the country supporting COVID-19 operations Operation Warp Speed and we have a multitude of soldiers deployed over seas in combat operations. I'd especially like to thanks the families that are maybe alone tonight and just let you know that our nation greatly appreciates all your sacrifices and those of your service members and I could not be prouder to part of this organization."
I disagree with there being 65k NG troops in DC. His statements imply those 65k NG Troops are across the US and overseas.
