SCHOOL WAS THE CENTER OF A

00:08.516 --> 00:11.400

CELEBRATION SETUP TO HONOR

00:11.400 --> 00:14.583

MILITARY MEMBERS SACRIFICE

00:14.583 --> 00:17.519
DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO GET
THE MISSION DONE, BUT

00:17.519 --> 00:20.500
SOMETIMES THE SACRIFICES
THEIR CHILDREN MAKE GO

00:20.500 --> 00:21.500
UNNOTICED.

00:21.500 --> 00:23.925
We wake up every morning
and we lace up our boots

00:23.925 --> 00:26.258
and we understand the
struggle and sacrifice we

00:26.258 --> 00:29.133
have to make but we don't
reflect on the struggles

00:29.133 --> 00:31.800
and sacrifices the youth
has to also make tonight

00:31.800 --> 00:33.800
we are just gonna take a
special moment out have a

00:33.800 --> 00:36.775
little fun and tell them
thank you for everything

00:36.775 --> 00:40.066
and all the support
provided to us and all the

00:40.066 --> 00:42.116
sacrifices they've also made.

00:44.000 --> 00:45.986
ONE MONTH A YEAR TIME IS SET ASIDE

00:45.986 --> 00:48.000
