WEBVTT

00:03.309 --> 00:05.531
So today what we're doing , we , we are

00:05.531 --> 00:07.639
offering turkeys for , um , National

00:07.650 --> 00:10.250
Guard airmen and soldiers for those who

00:10.260 --> 00:12.038
need some assistance during the

00:12.038 --> 00:14.130
Thanksgiving season . I , I would

00:14.140 --> 00:16.409
imagine for a lot of them , if they're

00:16.420 --> 00:18.364
signing up for it , they're really

00:18.364 --> 00:20.420
gonna need it . So it's really gonna

00:20.420 --> 00:22.587
just bless their holiday , actually be

00:22.587 --> 00:24.809
able to provide a meal for their family

00:24.809 --> 00:26.753
in December . We'll do our holiday

00:26.753 --> 00:28.920
magic where we again , we will provide

00:28.920 --> 00:31.700
a turkey and also toys and gifts for

00:31.709 --> 00:33.931
people to come by to get for their kids

00:36.150 --> 00:38.317
for the turkey drop alone . We had 100

00:38.317 --> 00:40.580
register . So we got 100 turkeys for

00:40.590 --> 00:42.423
that group of people . We get to

00:42.423 --> 00:44.580
actually come out and support events

00:44.590 --> 00:46.757
where we're giving back to our largest

00:46.757 --> 00:48.812
customer base , which is the soldier

00:48.812 --> 00:50.590
and their families , right ? Um

00:50.590 --> 00:52.479
Everybody plays a role in service

00:52.479 --> 00:54.590
member service . So it's just nice to

00:54.590 --> 00:56.479
be in a new career that is solely

00:56.479 --> 00:58.646
focused on taking care of soldiers and

00:58.646 --> 01:01.040
their families . Well , the importance

01:01.049 --> 01:04.279
of having volunteers for all of these

01:04.290 --> 01:06.290
events that support the military is

01:06.290 --> 01:09.000
super important because without the

01:09.010 --> 01:11.550
volunteers , none of them happen . We

01:11.559 --> 01:14.330
need people to , you know , donate

01:14.339 --> 01:17.599
money and goods and mostly their time

01:17.940 --> 01:21.029
to be able to um help , provide these

01:21.040 --> 01:24.769
benefits to soldiers in need 16

01:24.779 --> 01:27.870
years ago . Um I was a military spouse

01:27.879 --> 01:29.900
and I benefited from a program like

01:29.910 --> 01:31.910
this that would , we would not have

01:31.910 --> 01:34.021
been able to provide Christmas to our

01:34.021 --> 01:36.849
son at the time . Um So I just think

01:36.860 --> 01:39.082
it's important to , you know , continue

01:39.082 --> 01:41.304
giving back for that . That's something

01:41.304 --> 01:43.527
that helped me and I want to help other

01:43.527 --> 01:42.959
families in need .
