(playful music)

00:04.556 --> 00:07.556
- Today, we are hosting Mini Marines

00:07.676 --> 00:10.759
where we invite our military children

00:12.293 --> 00:14.740
from the ages five to 12 to engage

00:14.740 --> 00:18.823
in a little experiment of becoming a Mini Marine.

00:21.191 --> 00:24.675
It began with two drill instructors welcoming them

00:24.675 --> 00:26.594
to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort,

00:26.594 --> 00:29.353
and then they also stood on the yellow footprints.

00:29.353 --> 00:31.157
(children shouting cheerfully)

00:31.157 --> 00:33.108
(laughing)

00:33.108 --> 00:34.865
^They have six different stations they're

00:34.865 --> 00:36.111
^gonna be involved in.

00:36.111 --> 00:39.087
^They're gonna go through a CFT, an obstacle course,

00:39.087 --> 00:42.920
^a Nerf rifle range, and many other activities.

00:43.641 --> 00:47.474
My mission in life is to have military spouses

00:47.606 --> 00:50.370
and Marines and their families understand

00:50.370 --> 00:54.197
how important they are to myself and to America,

00:54.197 --> 00:57.433
because without them we realize that freedom is not free

00:57.433 --> 01:00.563
and they are paying the ultimate price for our freedom.
