00:02.040 --> 00:04.400
members of the main Army National Guard

00:04.410 --> 00:06.466
are aiding the state of Vermont with

00:06.466 --> 00:09.700
tropical storm Irene recovery Soldiers

00:09.700 --> 00:12.960
from the 133 , the 262nd and other

00:12.960 --> 00:15.520
engineering companies are working hard

00:15.520 --> 00:18.940
at clearing and rebuilding roadways by

00:18.940 --> 00:21.010
seven a.m. The soldiers are up and

00:21.010 --> 00:23.580
working for at least the next 8 to 10

00:23.590 --> 00:26.620
hours . But even off duty the soldiers

00:26.620 --> 00:29.030
continue their work . We get up , we

00:29.040 --> 00:31.880
get rolling around 07 and there they're

00:31.880 --> 00:33.991
getting on , the vehicles are rolling

00:33.991 --> 00:36.047
out , working hard all day long , we

00:36.047 --> 00:39.050
get back in Around 7:30 at night and

00:39.060 --> 00:41.282
you know , I think most guys would just

00:41.540 --> 00:44.070
kind of stop and relax now , they keep

00:44.080 --> 00:46.970
going if there's any are chain saws ,

00:46.980 --> 00:48.980
we've got two imps , two guys in my

00:48.980 --> 00:51.620
platoon or attempts and work for a

00:51.620 --> 00:53.620
volunteer fire department . So they

00:53.620 --> 00:55.898
know how to repair chain saws and they ,

00:57.040 --> 00:59.460
they didn't go to bed till later last

00:59.460 --> 01:01.571
night because they study of preparing

01:01.571 --> 01:03.738
the chainsaws so they're willing to do

01:03.738 --> 01:05.793
whatever it takes to get it done and

01:05.793 --> 01:07.793
I'm proud to work with them there .

01:07.793 --> 01:10.900

01:11.060 --> 01:13.870

01:13.880 --> 01:15.769
also appreciative of the work the

01:15.769 --> 01:17.991
soldiers are doing and often show their

01:17.991 --> 01:21.580
support , had people going on the road

01:21.580 --> 01:23.636
with us , flags walking right to the

01:23.636 --> 01:25.858
yellow line waving the flag in front of

01:25.858 --> 01:27.858
us . We have people clapping , kids

01:27.858 --> 01:29.802
jumping up and down . It's a great

01:29.802 --> 01:31.802
thing for citizens to see that it's

01:31.802 --> 01:35.540
good for kids to see that there's

01:35.540 --> 01:37.620
still a lot of work to do , but the

01:37.620 --> 01:39.676
support from the community keeps the

01:39.676 --> 01:42.530
soldiers motivated Reporting for the 1
