00:00.771 --> 00:04.792
- Hello to all of our fellow Alaska National Guard members.

00:04.792 --> 00:06.552
We hope that everyone had a relaxing

00:06.552 --> 00:09.971
and joyful Christmas, with friends and family.

00:09.971 --> 00:10.996
- We would like to take a moment

00:10.996 --> 00:12.862
to thank each and every one of you,

00:12.862 --> 00:14.554
every soldier and every airman

00:14.554 --> 00:16.778
throughout our great state, for everything

00:16.778 --> 00:19.728
that we have achieved together this past year.

00:19.728 --> 00:22.786
- As a team, we've made great strides.

00:22.786 --> 00:24.778
And we look forward to continuing to see

00:24.778 --> 00:26.985
all that we can accomplish together

00:26.985 --> 00:29.068
for our state and nation.

00:29.297 --> 00:31.819
- As New Year's Eve approaches, we encourage you all

00:31.819 --> 00:34.339
to make plans in advance, to ensure that you have

00:34.339 --> 00:38.031
a safe ride home from any celebrations you may attend.

00:38.031 --> 00:40.311
- If you have company joining you,

00:40.311 --> 00:43.580
please do your best, as a battle buddy or wingman,

00:43.580 --> 00:46.163
to ensure they get home safely.

00:46.410 --> 00:48.700
Ringing in the New Year can be such a great time

00:48.700 --> 00:52.379
to enjoy with others, but we want every one of you

00:52.379 --> 00:56.546
to be around to celebrate New Years Day with those you love.

00:57.240 --> 00:58.740
- Please hug your families.

00:58.740 --> 01:00.809
And than your employers from us.

01:00.809 --> 01:03.001
I appreciate the support you receive from them,

01:03.001 --> 01:05.209
so that you can bring your very best efforts

01:05.209 --> 01:08.459
to our organization each and every day.

01:08.609 --> 01:11.276
- Chief and I wish you and yours

01:11.369 --> 01:13.361
