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 got Kirsten on the phone with us today who is honoring her twin sister, Lana.
00:15Oh, I love this.
00:17For Military Monday. Good morning, Kirsten. How are you?
00:20I'm doing just fine. How are you?
00:22I'm doing great. So tell us about this twin sister of yours, Kelsey.
00:27How does she serve our country?
00:28She always wanted to protect those in America and wanted to protect our freedom because she loves our country and loves the freedoms that it can afford.
00:40So she wanted to continue that.
00:43She's in the Army, right?
00:44Yeah, she's in the Army. She was just promoted to captain.
00:47Oh, that's awesome. How long has she been in the Army?
00:50She's been in the Army for about six years.
00:53Okay, great.
00:54I love that.
00:55Now, she has a deployment coming up?
00:56Yeah, so she deploys within the country.
01:01She was in Louisiana last year, and she's going to Texas for a year in September.
01:06All right, gotcha.
01:08Obviously, being your twin sister, I'm sure you guys are very close, like any sisters would be, but especially being your twin.
01:13Have you started to prepare yourself at all for that as far as her deployment?
01:16I guess you could say we get ready for it, but she likes to come back when she can, especially for my kids' birthdays.
01:25Oh, that's great.
01:26Oh, I love that.
01:27I also read here that, what, is she a police officer with the Clearwater Police Department as well?
01:33Yes, she is.
01:34She's actually on their bike team.
01:36Oh, wow.
01:36Nice.
01:37And how long has she been with them?
01:39She's been with the Clearwater Police Department for about four to five years now.
01:44Oh, that's great.
01:45Well, I mean, Kelsey sounds awesome in serving our country and in serving our community.
01:50But most importantly, and this will probably be Lana's most important part of this, is she's a dog mom.
01:54Yes, I heard she's got a German shepherd.
01:56She does.
01:58That's her baby, her big baby.
02:01Is it him or her?
02:02It's a him.
02:02His name is Coda.
02:03Awesome.
02:04I've had him for about eight years now.
02:06Oh, very cool.
02:07Great dog to have.
02:08Well, listen, Kirsten, we are so glad that you reached out to us about your twin sister, Kelsey.
02:13We're so thankful for her service, and we want to do this.
02:16We want to give you a $100 Visa gift card from our friends at Stingray Chevrolet to pass on to her.
02:20It's a small way for us to say thank you for what she does, and we're so appreciative of her service.
02:25Thank you so much.
02:27You got it.
02:27We appreciate you, too.
02:29All right, if you want to nominate someone for Military Monday or First Responder Friday, all you do is go to 995QIK.com.
02:35Can't wait to hear your story.
