00:01.030 --> 00:03.560
- Obviously as part of the community,

00:03.560 --> 00:06.730
the 152nd Airlift Wing and
the Nevada Air National Guard

00:06.730 --> 00:09.940
have been impacted just like
our friends and neighbors have

00:09.940 --> 00:12.070
in Reno and across northern Nevada,

00:12.070 --> 00:16.740
so we've been part of the same
shelter-in-place measures,

00:16.740 --> 00:18.530
adhering to the CDC guidelines,

00:18.530 --> 00:22.790
and it has impacted a lot
of us in different ways,

00:22.790 --> 00:27.790
whether that be layoffs from
work or increased time at home,

00:29.390 --> 00:31.850
and those sorts of stressors.

00:31.850 --> 00:36.170
I think that the people of
Reno have been very resilient

00:36.170 --> 00:39.810
during this response time to COVID-19.

00:39.810 --> 00:42.350
I've seen the community
really come together

00:42.350 --> 00:44.200
to support the frontline
healthcare workers

00:44.200 --> 00:45.890
and first responders,

00:45.890 --> 00:48.760
and it's been really a team effort,

00:48.760 --> 00:50.591
seeing what we've been able to do

00:50.591 --> 00:54.110
in the community, to help the community.

00:54.110 --> 00:56.130
So what we did today was participate

00:56.130 --> 00:58.500
in a nationwide Air Force program

00:58.500 --> 01:00.880
called Operation American Resolve.

01:00.880 --> 01:03.294
And it was a way for
the Air National Guard

01:03.294 --> 01:05.110
and 152nd Airlift Wing

01:05.110 --> 01:08.670
to show the residents of northern Nevada

01:08.670 --> 01:10.450
that we are so mission ready.

01:10.450 --> 01:12.500
We're ready to fly, flight
and win our nation's wars

01:12.500 --> 01:14.420
even during this COVID response,

01:14.420 --> 01:16.500
and also as a great tribute and salute

01:16.500 --> 01:18.420
to our frontline responders,

01:18.420 --> 01:22.775
who are on the front
lines battling COVID-19.

01:22.775 --> 01:27.600
We had a pretty big plan to fly over most

01:27.600 --> 01:30.640
of the healthcare sites in northern Nevada

01:30.640 --> 01:33.260
so we started out in Reno.

01:33.260 --> 01:35.313
We flew down the Carson Valley.

01:36.430 --> 01:38.163
We flew over Virginia City.

01:39.040 --> 01:43.130
We ended up going over Carson
City, South Lake Tahoe,

01:43.130 --> 01:45.640
back up into Reno proper,

01:45.640 --> 01:49.230
over several of the major
healthcare sites there,

01:49.230 --> 01:53.630
and then all the way out to
Fallon and Fernley as well.

01:53.630 --> 01:58.420
Really appreciative to be part
of such a proud organization.

01:58.420 --> 02:00.600
We're proud of serving our community,

02:00.600 --> 02:03.840
proud to be part of the Reno community,

02:03.840 --> 02:05.953
and helping with this crisis.
