00:32.166 --> 00:34.147
- [Corporal Michael Krysinski] Four
Marines with Marine Week St. Louis

00:34.147 --> 00:36.885
joined the Jefferson Barracks
Veterans Hospital

00:36.885 --> 00:39.600
to show veterans appreciation
for their service.

00:39.600 --> 00:41.761
Marines like Corporal Jarod Richardson

00:41.761 --> 00:44.077
feels it's important to
visit when you can.

00:44.077 --> 00:46.188
- We pretty much just let
all those veterans know that

00:46.188 --> 00:48.759
hey, we're there, we're never
going to forget you, ever.

00:48.759 --> 00:51.289
It's really about them,
it's all about giving.

00:51.289 --> 00:53.181
And that's what we want to do.

00:53.181 --> 00:55.752
- [Krysinski] The Marines passed
out flags in a show of support

00:55.752 --> 00:57.050

00:57.050 --> 00:59.994
Michael Laughtan, a Sailor
during the Vietnam War,

00:59.994 --> 01:01.831
appreciated the visit.

01:01.831 --> 01:04.679
- For them taking their time
to spend with somebody,

01:04.679 --> 01:06.718
no matter if you're
injured or whatever,

01:06.718 --> 01:10.480
just...I enjoy it, they enjoy it.

01:10.480 --> 01:13.137
And it means a lot to all of us.

01:13.137 --> 01:15.498
- [Krysinksi] These visits are
only one part of the overall

01:15.498 --> 01:18.097
plan of community events
for Marine Week St. Louis.

01:18.097 --> 01:21.039
From St. Louis, I'm Corporal Michael Krysinski.
