00:02.009 --> 00:04.429
Today , April 18 , we are hosting our

00:04.440 --> 00:06.162
youngest Heroes event . It's a

00:06.162 --> 00:08.218
partnership between Fleet and Family

00:08.218 --> 00:10.162
and the Navy Exchange honoring our

00:10.162 --> 00:12.273
military Children here in Sao . So we

00:12.273 --> 00:14.384
are presenting awards for our virtual

00:14.384 --> 00:16.551
military child costume contest that we

00:16.551 --> 00:18.773
held this past week . And the next , we

00:18.773 --> 00:20.829
will also be hosting their in person

00:20.829 --> 00:23.162
where the grand prize is $100 gift card .

00:25.520 --> 00:27.798
So this is kind of a once a year event .

00:27.798 --> 00:29.631
This is an honor of month of the

00:29.631 --> 00:31.687
military child . So specifically for

00:31.687 --> 00:33.798
April , where we spend a little extra

00:33.798 --> 00:35.853
attention on those military Children

00:35.853 --> 00:35.450
and really thank them for the

00:35.459 --> 00:37.459
sacrifices that they make . Service

00:37.459 --> 00:39.626
members have to be forward deployed at

00:39.626 --> 00:41.403
any given time . And that takes

00:41.634 --> 00:43.578
attention away from the mission if

00:43.578 --> 00:45.801
they're worried about their family back

00:45.801 --> 00:47.801
home . So having that good sense of

00:47.801 --> 00:49.967
family , whether it's blood or if it's

00:49.967 --> 00:52.078
your community , family is absolutely

00:52.078 --> 00:54.078
imperative . These little kids love

00:54.078 --> 00:56.245
prizes , gifts bubbles . Anything just

00:56.245 --> 00:58.245
to see that little smile just makes

00:58.245 --> 00:57.415
your day .
