WEBVTT

00:10.040 --> 00:12.320
so mr Kobe Langley came in , he's our

00:12.320 --> 00:14.670

00:14.670 --> 00:18.490
forces and I . S . D . And he came in

00:18.490 --> 00:20.434
to see what we do here for the Red

00:20.434 --> 00:22.657

00:22.657 --> 00:24.934
guests that came here from Afghanistan .

00:24.934 --> 00:27.101
I think it's important because we have

00:27.101 --> 00:29.101
a serving armed forces s A F that's

00:29.101 --> 00:31.323
here locally at Ramstein and I think he

00:31.323 --> 00:33.490
wanted to see what the teamwork is and

00:33.490 --> 00:33.360
what we do here to support our armed

00:33.360 --> 00:35.416
forces in action . So here at hangar

00:35.416 --> 00:37.582
one we sustain all of our guests while

00:37.582 --> 00:39.749
they're here in pods one and two . And

01:18.467 --> 01:20.633
like to call it team awesome over here

01:20.633 --> 01:22.744
at Hangar one and it's just it's it's

01:22.744 --> 01:24.967
so amazing to see with you know serving

01:24.967 --> 01:27.022
armed forces with Red Cross , how we

01:27.022 --> 01:27.020
really support our partners with the

01:27.030 --> 01:29.141
active duty . It's amazing to see the

01:29.141 --> 01:31.197
teamwork we have in the partnerships

01:31.197 --> 01:33.197
we've built and how we work hand in

01:33.197 --> 01:35.308
hand together , just bridging the gap

01:35.308 --> 01:37.363
on you know , any need , anybody has

01:37.363 --> 01:37.080
while they're here . And you know ,

01:37.080 --> 01:39.302
it's also pretty cool to see our guests

01:39.302 --> 01:41.580
as their inside the pods , living life ,

01:41.580 --> 01:43.802
everything that we've morphed into more

01:43.802 --> 01:45.691
quality of life things for them ,

01:45.691 --> 01:47.858
seeing them relaxed and seeing joy and

01:47.858 --> 01:49.913
seeing just kids being kids and it's

01:49.913 --> 01:52.136
just a lot of fun to see the difference

01:52.136 --> 01:52.100
how it was in those busy days when they

01:52.100 --> 01:54.267
were in processing and we know that it

01:54.267 --> 01:56.322
can't be easy with being here longer

01:56.322 --> 01:58.322
than what they thought , but how we

01:58.322 --> 02:00.433
just , you know , we've dug our boots

02:00.433 --> 02:02.267
in to say and we're just helping

02:02.267 --> 02:04.378
everybody across the , across all the

02:04.378 --> 02:06.489
pods here and it's pretty beautiful .

02:06.489 --> 02:06.190
Red cross is where everybody comes ,

02:06.190 --> 02:08.412
that they have a need , everybody comes

02:08.412 --> 02:10.634
to red cross that they don't know where

02:10.634 --> 02:12.746
to get something or who to ask . They

02:12.746 --> 02:12.620
come into red cross and red cross

02:12.620 --> 02:14.710
facilitates and assist anybody with

02:14.720 --> 02:16.831
everything that we can . So it's it's

02:16.831 --> 02:18.664
it's very important to help with

02:18.664 --> 02:20.776
communication and just building those

02:20.776 --> 02:22.720
relationships and making sure that

02:22.720 --> 02:22.370
there's a need that's out there , that

02:22.370 --> 02:24.481
red cross is part of it . Yeah , I'll

02:24.481 --> 02:26.648
tell you what , if anybody had told me

02:26.648 --> 02:28.703
when we got stationed here two years

02:28.703 --> 02:30.759
ago that this would be what Ramstein

02:30.759 --> 02:32.703
Air Base would look like today , I

02:32.703 --> 02:34.926
would have said no , this is what piece

02:34.926 --> 02:34.510
that looked like when I went down in

02:34.510 --> 02:36.732
intensity when I deployed when I was an

02:36.732 --> 02:38.899
active duty airmen . So it looks a lot

02:38.899 --> 02:42.160
different here . But it is just , it's

02:42.160 --> 02:45.130
so exciting to see how , when you need

02:45.130 --> 02:47.463
to come together and get something done ,

02:47.463 --> 02:49.630
you just get it done . Like even if we

02:49.630 --> 02:49.370
didn't know how to do it in the

02:49.370 --> 02:51.540
beginning and we've refined processes

02:51.540 --> 02:53.596
along the way and somehow we've just

02:53.596 --> 02:55.660
been able to morph all of this chaos

02:55.660 --> 02:57.882
that may look like to somebody else and

02:57.882 --> 02:59.938
how it's , it's really like a really

02:59.938 --> 03:02.216
great vetted process that just it just ,

03:02.216 --> 03:03.560
it's smooth sailing quite honestly . So .
