00:00We know the hard work and sacrifice they go through serving our community and keeping us safe.
00:06Let's honor another First Responder on 99.5 QYK.
00:11It's First Responder Friday and we've got Dustin on the phone today who is honoring his cousin, Sean.
00:16Good morning, Dustin. How are you doing?
00:18Good. How are you guys?
00:19We are great, man. We're pumped that you reached out to us.
00:21So let's talk about Sean. How does he serve our community?
00:24So first he served our country. He was Marine Corps for six years.
00:30And now he's going on his third year as a Hillsborough County firefighter.
00:34Oh, wow.
00:35Nice.
00:35Now let me ask you this. Let's go back to his service as a Marine.
00:38He had a very special and important job in Washington, D.C., right?
00:43Yeah. So he actually started out in California when he was first joined.
00:48But then he got a job as a body bearer in D.C.
00:52So he worked out in the Arlington Cemetery.
00:55And he was, I guess what their motto is, is the last to lay you down.
00:59So he was in charge of giving our veterans who didn't make it back home a proper send-off.
01:06Wow.
01:06You know, I've actually seen that by just visiting Washington, D.C.
01:10And it's very emotional, very touching, and it's just so patriotic to see.
01:15So I think that's great that Sean was a part of that.
01:18Now, you are his cousin.
01:20So tell me, Dustin, what do you think makes him a great firefighter?
01:23What do you see in your cousin?
01:24Do you think, you know what, this guy just knows this job and this job was made for him?
01:29I think it's just his hard work and his dedication to anything that he does.
01:35I mean, it started, obviously, as a Marine, and now it's carried over.
01:39He's got three daughters that he takes great care of.
01:42So just, I think everything he does, he takes pride in it.
01:45And he puts a lot of hard work and dedication into it.
01:47So I think that's what makes him a great firefighter and a great dad.
01:51Well, listen, Dustin, we're so pumped that you reached out to us.
01:53And we want to do this for Sean.
01:55We got $200 in Visa gift cards for him.
01:57Thanks to our friends at Crown Buick GMC and DeMesman & Dover Law Firm.
02:01Small way for us to say thank you.
02:03Maybe he can go do something fun with his daughters.
02:05But we just appreciate you nominating him.
02:07And I hope you just give our love to him.
02:10That's awesome.
02:10I appreciate it.
