WEBVTT 00:00.119 --> 00:02.519 I choose to volunteer simply because I 00:02.519 --> 00:04.610 believe we have a personal 00:04.610 --> 00:06.888 responsibility to help those around us . 00:07.000 --> 00:09.167 My name is Scott Huntley . I'm a major 00:09.167 --> 00:11.520 and I'm a reservist uh with the 91st 00:11.520 --> 00:14.479 Attack Squadron . I'm an RPA pilot and 00:14.479 --> 00:16.812 also flight commander as well . So , uh , 00:16.812 --> 00:19.000 so I've been flying , um , my whole 00:19.000 --> 00:22.069 career . I was in KC 135s and I got to 00:22.069 --> 00:24.180 be in Vegas for like half my career . 00:24.180 --> 00:26.013 It's been pretty awesome . Three 00:26.013 --> 00:28.180 charities I'm with right now is uh the 00:28.180 --> 00:30.291 501 , which is a national Star Wars , 00:30.291 --> 00:32.459 um , charity . Then , uh , there's 00:32.750 --> 00:34.972 another Star Wars group that I'm with . 00:34.972 --> 00:37.139 It's called the Star Wars Collective . 00:37.139 --> 00:39.028 Third one is called Critical Care 00:39.028 --> 00:41.250 Comics , CCC , and so they do , uh , DC 00:41.250 --> 00:43.361 and Marvel . Me and my wife , we do , 00:43.361 --> 00:45.694 uh , Superman and Supergirl , and my Mr . 00:45.694 --> 00:47.639 and Mrs . Fantastic . We do Prince 00:47.639 --> 00:50.790 Charming and Cinderella , um , Han and 00:50.790 --> 00:54.080 Lea . Um , I do an X-wing pilot , a 00:54.080 --> 00:56.389 Thai fighter , uh , pilot . She does a 00:56.389 --> 01:00.380 Jedi . Um , those are our main costumes . 01:00.759 --> 01:02.926 When I go to these hospitals , I don't 01:02.926 --> 01:05.550 see people who have severe mental 01:05.550 --> 01:07.217 challenges or severe physical 01:07.217 --> 01:09.620 challenges . I see people who need love . 01:09.949 --> 01:12.171 And I've had people spend Christmases , 01:12.470 --> 01:14.974 holidays , I've talk to people that 01:15.205 --> 01:18.355 have gone through like cancer . We go 01:18.355 --> 01:20.466 to the NICU , we go to the PES unit , 01:20.466 --> 01:22.355 we go to the burn unit , we go to 01:22.355 --> 01:24.684 whatever is there , and , and all we're 01:24.684 --> 01:27.605 doing is we're sharing hope . And these 01:27.605 --> 01:30.315 kids who are literally looking forward 01:30.315 --> 01:32.371 to every week , someone coming in in 01:32.371 --> 01:34.537 costume , and they're trying to be the 01:34.537 --> 01:36.759 best Superman I , I can be , you know , 01:36.759 --> 01:38.982 but I'm not Superman . Superman is made 01:38.982 --> 01:41.204 up . But you know what's not made up is 01:41.204 --> 01:43.426 the hope and love we give . Like that , 01:43.426 --> 01:45.426 and that's why we do it . And these 01:45.426 --> 01:47.426 kids , like , we go to see 4 , it's 01:47.426 --> 01:49.482 like 16 and 17 year olds , they know 01:49.482 --> 01:49.440 I'm in costume . They know it's this . 01:50.220 --> 01:53.220 But you know what ? It's the ideas of 01:53.220 --> 01:56.500 hope and love that we latch on to that 01:56.500 --> 01:58.730 they're like . That every time we come 01:58.730 --> 02:01.889 in , they , they want to connect . They 02:01.889 --> 02:03.889 wanna know that someone's there for 02:03.889 --> 02:06.000 them , that someone loves them . It's 02:06.000 --> 02:08.000 not that they think I'm Superman or 02:08.000 --> 02:10.222 whatever . It's that they realize I'm a 02:10.222 --> 02:12.445 person who genuinely loves them and who 02:12.445 --> 02:14.445 wants them to be good , and that is 02:14.445 --> 02:16.611 what gives them hope , is that there's 02:16.611 --> 02:18.833 people out there who just care for them 02:18.833 --> 02:20.667 simply because they're , because 02:20.667 --> 02:22.778 they're there . And I think like that 02:22.778 --> 02:24.945 is the biggest thing , um , that I can 02:24.945 --> 02:27.000 give , give is not a guy in a suit , 02:27.000 --> 02:26.690 but it's hope and love .
