00:09.807 --> 00:11.918
On behalf of Colonel Step Chief Beach

00:11.918 --> 00:14.029
myself in your entire wind staff want

00:14.029 --> 00:15.807
to start off the same . We hope

00:15.807 --> 00:17.473
everyone had a happy and safe

00:17.473 --> 00:19.529
Thanksgiving holiday . This year was

00:19.529 --> 00:21.640
likely much different for everyone in

00:21.640 --> 00:21.190
our hope that no matter how you

00:21.190 --> 00:23.380
celebrated , we're able to reflect on

00:23.380 --> 00:25.436
the things you're truly thankful for

December drill putting the approaching

00:29.807 --> 00:31.840
much like Thanksgiving holiday will

00:31.840 --> 00:33.673
likely be a little different for

00:33.673 --> 00:35.896
somebody . Because of rising health and

00:35.896 --> 00:38.007
safety concerns , decisions have been

00:38.007 --> 00:39.896
made to limit the base to mission

00:39.896 --> 00:41.896
essential personnel on me . So what
