00:06.000 --> 00:08.338
- Greetings, I'm Major General Tim Risch,

00:08.338 --> 00:11.090
Sergeant General of the
South Dakota National Guard.

00:11.090 --> 00:13.340
- And I'm Taylor.

00:13.340 --> 00:15.080
- I wanted to take this opportunity

00:15.080 --> 00:17.030
with my youngest daughter, Taylor,

00:17.030 --> 00:21.010
to showcase April as the
month of the military child.

00:21.010 --> 00:23.550
It is a time to thank
our military children

00:23.550 --> 00:24.793
for all that they do.

00:25.730 --> 00:29.600
There are more than 7,000
military children in South Dakota,

00:29.600 --> 00:32.770
and more than 3,600 of them are affiliated

00:32.770 --> 00:34.763
with the South Dakota National Guard.

00:35.640 --> 00:37.590
I want to recognize their character,

00:37.590 --> 00:40.540
strength, and sacrifices.

00:40.540 --> 00:44.110
Our military children are
impacted on a daily basis,

00:44.110 --> 00:46.510
whether their service member is home,

00:46.510 --> 00:49.833
deployed, at school,
or attending training.

00:50.860 --> 00:53.960
Please join us in celebrating
our military youth

00:53.960 --> 00:55.670
throughout the month of April.

00:55.670 --> 00:59.620
And recognize their courage and heroism.

00:59.620 --> 01:02.890
Children like Taylor are a valuable part

01:02.890 --> 01:06.290
of our families and the
communities they live in.

01:06.290 --> 01:08.023
Thank you and have a great day.
