00:02.060 --> 00:04.630
- I got a notification from
one of the high schools,

00:04.630 --> 00:06.820
they said, "Hey, we might not
be able to have a graduation

00:06.820 --> 00:09.080
for your daughter
because of the COVID-19."

00:09.080 --> 00:11.757
And a lot of families
were down and I was like,

00:11.757 --> 00:14.510
"No, I know there's some
way that we can still

00:14.510 --> 00:16.580
have some sort of graduation event,

00:16.580 --> 00:18.750
honor their significant accomplishment,

00:18.750 --> 00:20.720
but still practice social distancing."

00:20.720 --> 00:23.070
And that's when we came
up with Honk-at-a-Grad.

00:24.112 --> 00:26.529
(soft music)

00:32.848 --> 00:35.765
(ambulance sirens)

00:37.490 --> 00:40.360
We're gonna go ahead and
drive to their home on base

00:40.360 --> 00:43.450
And then the graduate's gonna come out

00:43.450 --> 00:45.780
in their cap and gown or with their sash,

00:45.780 --> 00:46.613
whatever they want.

00:46.613 --> 00:48.190
And we'll go ahead and honor

00:48.190 --> 00:52.612
their significant accomplishment
by honking like crazy!

00:52.612 --> 00:55.755
(car horns honking)

00:55.755 --> 00:58.172
(soft music)

01:06.915 --> 01:08.530
We just wanna let our community know

01:08.530 --> 01:09.880
that we're here for you.

01:09.880 --> 01:11.480
We care, we know how you're feeling

01:11.480 --> 01:14.030
and we know what's
impacting you right now.

01:14.030 --> 01:16.150
We can't control what's
going on with our society,

01:16.150 --> 01:18.750
but we can control our reactions to it.

01:18.750 --> 01:22.810
The whole purpose of this is
to boost morale for the family,

01:22.810 --> 01:24.200
the graduates and the families,

01:24.200 --> 01:26.084
to know that they're not forgotten.

01:26.084 --> 01:29.084
