00:00.009 --> 00:02.420
I'm MEREDITH Olson . I'm an electrical

00:02.430 --> 00:04.541
engineer technician with the 78 civil

00:04.550 --> 00:06.849
engineer squadron . It started out with

00:06.860 --> 00:09.479
a sketch on a piece of transfer paper .

00:09.560 --> 00:11.710
The evolution of it was probably the

00:11.720 --> 00:13.942
neatest part because there was a lot of

00:13.942 --> 00:16.549
artists and a lot of influence from

00:16.559 --> 00:18.770
individuals within the squadron . We

00:18.780 --> 00:21.139
are always looking for ways to bring

00:21.149 --> 00:24.059
camaraderie and showcase our skills and

00:24.069 --> 00:26.969
our abilities . And I thought that this

00:26.979 --> 00:30.829
was an opportunity to show that the the

00:30.840 --> 00:33.150
men and women of the E squadron , how

00:33.159 --> 00:35.909
awesome we are prior to World War two ,

00:36.259 --> 00:38.370
Anita Rose with the air missions that

00:38.370 --> 00:41.189
were coming up to build , maintain and

00:41.200 --> 00:43.860
protect the airfields that these these

00:43.869 --> 00:46.036
fighter pilots were going to be taking

00:46.036 --> 00:49.119
off from prime beef was developed . And

00:49.130 --> 00:51.569
that's what Robin's civil engineer

00:51.580 --> 00:53.802
squadron and religion was , was a prime

00:53.802 --> 00:57.419
beef squadron capable of building bases .

00:57.909 --> 01:01.830
Anytime anywhere . Civil engineer has

01:01.840 --> 01:04.720
evolved as a response to the ever

01:04.730 --> 01:07.440
evolving war fighter . I hope that the

01:07.449 --> 01:09.910
civil engineer individuals feel proud

01:10.169 --> 01:12.190
because they should be , I mean ,

01:12.199 --> 01:14.629
they're out there busting their butts

01:14.639 --> 01:17.860
every day . The kids come in today to

01:17.870 --> 01:20.190
see the mural and to kind of experience

01:20.199 --> 01:22.870
what c he has to offer . I hope that

01:23.550 --> 01:25.309
they are able to get a better

01:25.319 --> 01:28.339
visualization about everything that we

01:28.349 --> 01:31.300
do because it is so vast . I also hope

01:31.309 --> 01:33.919
that it can be used as a tool in the

01:33.930 --> 01:37.610
future for this squadron to show future

01:37.620 --> 01:40.099
Children and future classes . Hey ,

01:40.110 --> 01:42.166
this is what we do . This is what we

01:42.166 --> 01:45.152
offer and this is what all it builds

01:45.163 --> 01:47.107
when it's combined together . Some

01:47.107 --> 01:49.330
people think , well , you couldn't have

01:49.330 --> 01:51.552
captured every component . But I mean ,

01:51.552 --> 01:53.719
even the enology shop is captured . If

01:53.719 --> 01:55.941
you look at the painting close enough ,

01:55.941 --> 01:58.107
there's ants everywhere . I think that

01:58.107 --> 02:00.107
if other individuals throughout the

02:00.107 --> 02:02.492
base see it , they should look at it

02:02.502 --> 02:06.325
and identify how hard ce works and how

02:06.335 --> 02:10.046
much of this base we maintain . I'm

02:10.335 --> 02:13.156
incredibly thankful for them and what

02:13.166 --> 02:15.388
they offer , what they provided and the

02:15.388 --> 02:17.610
assistance because I couldn't have done

02:17.610 --> 02:19.666
it without them . I don't think that

02:19.666 --> 02:21.499
I'd be in the position that I am

02:21.499 --> 02:23.555
without them . I owe a lot to ce and

02:23.555 --> 02:24.485
the family that I've built here .
