00:00Tampa Bay's morning crew want to honor and thank those who protect and serve our country.
00:05Time now for Military Monday on 99.5 QYK.
00:10We've got Jennifer on the phone today for Military Monday.
00:13We are honoring her uncle.
00:14Good morning, Jennifer.
00:15How are you doing?
00:16Good morning.
00:16How are you?
00:17We're doing great.
00:18So your uncle's name is Greg.
00:19Tell us about Greg's service.
00:21Where did he serve and what branch and for how long?
00:24He did it for 21 years.
00:25He was in the Coast Guard.
00:27He was stationed all over.
00:29Oh, wow.
00:30Do you know what drew him to the Coast Guard?
00:32I don't know.
00:33I think he wanted to do it right out of high school.
00:35I think that's always what he wanted to do.
00:37And it says here that he taught you how to drive when you were younger and now he's helping you out.
00:43You got your first home.
00:44Is he helping you do some renovations and stuff?
00:47Yep.
00:48He's kind of like a big brother, too.
00:49So nobody wanted to teach me how to drive, so he took that on.
00:53And then when I bought my house last year, he's helped me.
00:56Every time something goes wrong, he comes and helps me.
00:59He painted the whole thing by himself.
01:01So he's pretty much been a lifesaver.
01:03Yeah, he's pretty much a hero to you in a few different ways, huh?
01:06I love this.
01:07Oh, yeah, definitely.
01:08By the way, how good of a driver are you?
01:10I should ask you.
01:10Did Uncle Greg do a good job?
01:14I was a better driver when I was younger.
01:16Now, not so much.
01:17Now, not so much.
01:19All right, very nice.
01:20Well, what would you say?
01:21You know, obviously you talked about Greg just being there for you and helping you out.
01:24Like, how would you characterize Greg if you were describing him to somebody who has never met him before?
01:29He's a huge Bucs fan.
01:31He's just all around just amazing.
01:34Like, I am very grateful for him.
01:36He's willing to help anybody if they need it.
01:39Like, he used to help my grandfather out all the time, help stuff with him around the house.
01:42Well, it sounds like he's got a servant's heart, and that goes great when you're serving our country as well as just helping out those around you and in your family.
01:50Well, listen, Jennifer, we're so honored that we got to learn more about Greg, and we want to do this.
01:55We want to give you a $100 Amex gift card from Tampa Premium Outlets to deliver to him for us.
02:00Just a small way for us to say thank you, and then maybe you guys can enjoy a meal or do a little shopping spree and just say thank you to Greg for his service.
02:08Thank you very much, guys.
02:09You are welcome.
02:09These are the stories we love hearing.
02:11We want to hear more of them.
02:12We want to hear your story about that loved one in your life that served in our military or is a first responder.
02:17Nominate someone today for Military Monday or First Responder Friday.
