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.
00:10Alright, it is Military Monday. We are honoring a military member in our community.
00:14We have Michelle on the phone. Good morning, Michelle. How are you doing?
00:18Good. How are you?
00:19We are great. So we get to honor your brother today. This is really cool.
00:22Yeah, it's awesome.
00:23Alright, so tell us about your brother Mitchell and how he serves our country.
00:26Um, he is in the Army National Guard.
00:30Okay. And what's he currently doing in the Army National Guard?
00:33He's in basic right now.
00:35Oh, he's in basic training. Okay, gotcha. How old is he?
00:3818.
00:3818. So this is a decision he made right out of high school, huh?
00:41Right after high school, yep.
00:43And where is he doing basic training at?
00:44Fort Leonard Woods.
00:46Oh, okay.
00:47And when you found out that your brother was going to go to basic training, what were your thoughts on that?
00:52Um, I was very proud of him.
00:54Which he should be. Now, is this something he's always wanted to do?
00:57No, actually, he wanted to play baseball.
01:00And then what made him decide this?
01:02I'm not sure. I think my uncle, um, he's a retired National Guard.
01:07Aw.
01:07So.
01:08Very cool.
01:08So following in his uncle's footsteps then.
01:11Yeah.
01:11And what do you think is going to make him great at serving our country?
01:15He has a strong personality.
01:16What kind of things does Mitchell like to do?
01:19He loves sports. He's always, he's played sports his whole life since he's been two years old.
01:25Mm-hmm.
01:25Um, and eat Chipotle.
01:27And eat Chipotle.
01:28Yeah.
01:29I like it.
01:30Well, listen, uh, Michelle, we are glad that you reached out to tell us about Mitchell.
01:34And, um, you know, he's at the start of his journey when it comes to the military, which is really cool.
01:38Um, and we are honored that he decided to take this path, pursue this.
01:42And we want to do this.
01:43We want to give you a hundred dollar gift card from our friends at Stingray Chevrolet to pass on to him.
01:47So he can, uh, go get a great meal, maybe with his sister or just get whatever he needs.
01:51But a small way for us to say thank you.
01:54Appreciate it.
