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.
00:10It is Military Monday and we have Crystal on the phone this morning.
00:13Good morning, Crystal. How are you?
00:15Good morning. How are you doing?
00:17We are doing great. I'm so glad you reached out.
00:19We get to honor your fiancé, Stephen.
00:21So first and foremost, when is the wedding? Do we have a date yet?
00:24Oh, we do. February 17th in Jamaica.
00:28Oh, wow. That's going to be awesome.
00:30Excited for you on that.
00:32Well, we are honoring Stephen for Military Monday.
00:34Tell us how he serves our country.
00:36Sure. He's a lieutenant colonel at SENTCOM in the Army.
00:40And how long has he served for?
00:42He is on his 33rd year.
00:44Wow. Now, is this something that he did right out of high school?
00:48He actually went into the reserves from college and then he went on the officer track.
00:55Okay, great. And it says he was deployed a few times as well?
00:59Yes. He's been deployed several times. His last four was in Iraq.
01:03Wow. We are so grateful for that.
01:05So what are some things he likes to do when he is not serving our country?
01:08What are some things you guys like to do together?
01:10For sure. Well, we have a pretty big family.
01:13We have six kids in total.
01:15My goodness.
01:15Four left. Yes. Four left in the house.
01:19We are avid voters.
01:21You see us out on the island quite frequently.
01:24And then he is a member of the Rough Rider crew as well in Tampa.
01:28Wow. That is fantastic.
01:30It sounds like a busy guy.
01:31It sounds like a busy household you guys have.
01:34For sure. You got that right.
01:36Well, listen, Crystal, we are so glad you reached out to us because we get to learn about heroes like your fiance, Stephen.
01:42We are super pumped for you and super pumped for next February when your wedding happens in Jamaica.
01:47That's going to be great.
01:48But we want to do this, too.
01:49We want to give you a $100 Visa gift card from our friends at Stingray Chevrolet to give to Stephen.
01:54Small way for us to say thank you for his service.
01:56I mean, 33 years.
01:57That's incredible.
01:58And we are so grateful for that.
01:59And we're grateful to you as well.
02:01Thank you so much.
02:02We really appreciate the recognition for our military community here.
02:06It is our pleasure.
