00:00.820 --> 00:02.919
^- Hey everybody, just wanted to take a second

00:02.919 --> 00:07.086
^to say thanks to our K9 crews, dogs and their handlers,

00:07.676 --> 00:10.490
you guys just pose amazing combat capability

00:10.490 --> 00:12.855
for our Air Force and beyond that you save lives

00:12.855 --> 00:14.596
home stations, and your missions and downrange

00:14.596 --> 00:17.263
and having lived in CONUS plenty

00:17.758 --> 00:19.837
and been down range plenty as well

00:19.837 --> 00:22.543
I just want to say thanks for all that you do.

00:22.543 --> 00:24.293
Here and on the road.

00:24.347 --> 00:25.251
It's a big deal.

00:25.251 --> 00:26.863
You're a very unique capability.

00:26.863 --> 00:28.783
I've watched your demo tons of times

00:28.783 --> 00:31.019
and I always wondered what it was like to be the chew toy.

00:31.019 --> 00:32.252
So now I got a chance.

00:32.252 --> 00:33.170
It was awesome.

00:33.170 --> 00:36.420
They bite, yeah, they bite pretty hard.

00:36.924 --> 00:38.850
You've got formidable teams so thanks,

00:38.850 --> 00:40.246
I know you volunteer for this duty.

00:40.246 --> 00:42.935
For our defenders at large, man, you guys,

00:42.935 --> 00:44.664
my heart goes out to you every day.

00:44.664 --> 00:46.686
You're on the line, you're on the watch every day

00:46.686 --> 00:49.427
and some of you heard me say this a couple of times,

00:49.427 --> 00:52.431
downrange at least two of my deployments

00:52.431 --> 00:54.972
I know that I'm here today with my family and my boys

00:54.972 --> 00:57.805
because of what you all have done.

01:00.349 --> 01:03.896
I won't get into too many specifics but I know sure

01:03.896 --> 01:05.807
no kidding because of who you are

01:05.807 --> 01:07.755
and what you've done downrange

01:07.755 --> 01:11.137
those who you represent were always there

01:11.137 --> 01:13.327
they save lives, mine, at least twice

01:13.327 --> 01:15.943
so thank you for standing watch for us.

01:15.943 --> 01:18.041
You represent the best of us whether you're at the gates

01:18.041 --> 01:21.630
or on patrol or training to deploy or deploy

01:21.630 --> 01:23.804
or on some sort of special support mission

01:23.804 --> 01:25.416
around the United States.

01:25.416 --> 01:26.998
You represent Air Force well.

01:26.998 --> 01:29.582
You represent Robins Air Force Base extremely well

01:29.582 --> 01:31.024
and I'm proud of you.

01:31.024 --> 01:32.283
God bless you all and what you do.

01:32.283 --> 01:33.116
Stay safe.
