GOT, AND, UH, I, YEAH, I WORKED AIRCRAFT.
I WORKED 80 SEVENS, WORKED ALL KINDS OF AIRCRAFT THERE.
AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE AIR INTERNATIONAL GUARD, THEN I WORKED AT, UM, AMERICAN AIRLINES.
PSAI WAS, MY JOB AS A TROUBLESHOOT, DIDN'T HAVE A A AND P OR ANYTHING, BUT MY REPUTATION.
AND THAT'S ALL I DID IS TROUBLESHOOT AVIONICS AND ELECTRICAL STUFF.
UM, SO I KNEW A LOT ABOUT FAA NOW.
SO THEN I GOT A JOB AT WRIGHT PATTERSON ON DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THERE, AND I JUST RETIRED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, SO I'M LOOKING FOR THINGS TO DO.
I WORK IN THE, UH, HALL OF FAME MUSEUM RIGHT NOW, UH, ON THE BASE OR AT THE MUSEUM.
SO IT GIVES ME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE MET THE AIR FORCE, UH, THUNDERBIRDS PILOT, LEAD PILOT OR, AND WE, UH, DEDICATED A GENERAL TO THE MUSEUM, UH, AFRICAN AMERICAN GENERAL.
WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN? UH, COLONEL.
HE WAS, HE'S THE THREE STAR GENERAL, GENERAL GENERAL AFRICAN AMERICAN.
HE WAS A THUNDER PILOT OF THE WORLD.
SO THEY, THEY ALL SHOWED UP FROM THE PAST AND IT WAS AMAZING.
AND THEN WE WENT STRAIGHT AFTER THAT.
WE WENT TO A, UH, AN EVENT, UH, THE FORD LOUISVILLE AWARDS WHERE WE, WE PUT WW TWO AND OTHER VIETNAM AIR PEOPLE INTO THEIR HALL OF FAME.
SO WE GET INVITED TO THAT EVERY YEAR.
AND WE, UH, IT'S, IT'S EXCELLENT.
SO, UM, ALSO, LIKE I SAID, I, I OWN A PUBLISHING COMPANY IN HEBREW HEIGHTS, AND WE HAVE SEVERAL CLIENTS AND WE'RE STILL, WE'RE TAKING SUBMISSIONS.
SO IF ANYBODY HAS A BOOK, UM, I, I WROTE A, I WROTE A BOOK AS A, AS A, AS A, A DEPENDENT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YES, YES.
YOU DO NOT FINISH THE BLACK COMMUNITY WHEN YOUR DAD RETIRES.
UH, BUT, UM, THAT BOOK PUT ME, PUT ME ON THE MAP.
SO I, I LAUNCHED IN SOUTH CAROLINA OF ALL PLACES, BUT I, I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES AND ALL THAT.
AND SO I, I'VE BEEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
I WAS INVITED IN FEBRUARY, BEEN TO OTHER EVENTS.
UM, IT'S ALL ABOUT AMERICA, YOU KNOW.
IT'S, IT IS, IT'S THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
RIGHT? IT, I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT.
I'LL BE WORKING IN THE GALLERIES AT THE AIR FORCE MUSEUM TOO, BUT I DON'T WANT THEM TO CLASH.
SO I'LL BE DOING THREE SEPARATE THINGS.
SO MY PRIORITY, I ONLY HAVE TO WORK TWO DAYS A MONTH THERE.
I'VE WORKED ON SOME PLAYS OUT IN THE MUSEUM.
SO DO YOU HAVE, UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN OR, YEAH, I HAVE, UH, TWO DAUGHTERS.
UM, AND MY WIFE, OF COURSE, MY GIRLFRIEND COULDN'T MAKE IT.
UM, YOU HAD TWO GRANDSONS HAD TWO GRANDSONS.
BUT, UM, YEAH, UH, WE ARE, UH, ALSO, YOU KNOW, MILITARY FAMILIES.
UM, WELL, I, AS A KID, WE MOVED ALL THE TIME, EVERY THREE YEARS.
UH, OUR FAMILY DID, UM, BECAUSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES, WHATEVER, BUT, UM, BUT I REALLY ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE.
I, IF I COULD GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN, I WOULD.
WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE, MAN.
WELCOME TO THE, TO COMMISSIONS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY PHONES BUSINESS.
SO WE'RE GONNA START OFF WITH THE REVIEW OF THE MEMORIAL DAY EVENT.
[00:10:01]
DESPITE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES WE HAD, I THINK WE DID A PRETTY AWESOME JOB.UM, I MEAN, I MEAN, WE'RE, WE, WE'RE ABOUT TO GET INTO IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO IF THEY CAN DO BETTER FOR NEXT TIME, THEN WE NEED TO CHECK OFF OUR LIST.
SO, UM, MY ADVICE IS OVER HERE BY THE JUMP, SO, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'LL LET YOU, I'LL LET YOU GO FIRST.
SO I, I WILL SAY THAT, UH, OVERALL IT WAS A GOOD EVENT.
UM, I THINK THAT EVERY SINGLE YEAR WE SHOULD BE PUSHING OURSELVES TO DO MORE AND MORE AND MORE TO MAKE IT A BETTER EVENT.
I THINK BEING ABLE TO HAVE A RED CROSS OUT THERE, I KNOW THEY GOT SOME GOOD LEADS.
I, THEY ABLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND GIVE PEOPLE, UM, SOME GOOD INFORMATION.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS AS A REFLECTION BACK ON US AS A COMMISSION, UH, IS WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CROSSING OUR T'S AND DOTTING OUR I'S.
UH, WE HAD SOME INCIDENTS, UM, IN THE EVENT WHERE, UH, SOME PEOPLE WEREN'T, UH, VERIFIED THAT THEY WERE PART OF THE EVENT.
SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AS A COMMISSION, UH, ARE DOUBLE CHECKING ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A PART OF IT IS A PART OF IT.
AND IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES AT THE LAST MINUTE OR ANYTHING THAT CAN'T HAPPEN, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE AWARE OF THAT.
SO THAT JUST GOES BACK TO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PLAYING THINGS ACCORDINGLY.
UH, THAT WE'RE STAYING ENGAGED WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE, UH, PART OF THE EVENT OR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A PART OF THE EVENT.
SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT CAUGHT AT THE LAST SECOND, UM, WITH CHANGES THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER.
WHO WAS, WHO WAS, UH, SO WE HAD MISDEMEANOR, WE HAD MISCOMMUNICATIONS, UM, WITH, WAS IT YOUNG MARINES? YOUNG MARINES.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT COMMUNICATION, UH, FELL OFF.
I DON'T KNOW IF OH, YEAH, I CAN, I CAN SPEAK TO THAT.
SO, UM, I PREPARED THE MEMORANDUMS, SENT THE MEMORANDUMS TO THE CHAIR AND THE CO-CHAIR FOR REVIEW BEFORE I SUBMITTED IT, SUBMITTED THEM COURTESY, COPIED THE CHAIR AND THE CO-CHAIR.
I SENT THE EMAIL, WASHED MY HANDS OF IT BECAUSE THE CHAIR AND THE CO-CHAIR IS ON THE SAME EMAIL TRAFFIC.
THAT'S WHERE I DROPPED THE BALL.
THEN THERE WAS OTHER CHALLENGES WHERE I, WE NEVER REALLY CIRCLED BACK TO IF THEY WERE COMMON.
I NEVER SAW ANY EMAIL TRAFFIC FROM WAYNE GERALD TC OR VAL AND RES, BUT I'M SURE MY COUNTERPARTS NEVER SAW ANY EMAILS FROM THE VEHICLE.
AND THAT'S OUR FAULT FOR ASSUMING, BECAUSE WE ALWAYS GET EM EVERY THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, EVERY YEAR.
SO, SO, BUT I'M SAYING YES, IT LAYS IN MY LAP AS FAR AS NOT FOLLOWING UP, BUT IT'S A TEAM EFFORT.
SO WHERE, WHERE I DROPPED IT, WHERE I WASN'T HOLDING UP MY PART OF THE CORNER, I DROPPED TO HELP YOU OUT.
BECAUSE Y'ALL DIDN'T, Y'ALL DIDN'T SEE NO COMMENTS EITHER.
SO EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T AT THOSE MEETINGS, HEY, CAN WE CONFIRM MIAMI VALLEY YOUNGER RINGS? CAN WE CONFIRM? OH, WELL I WAS HANDLING THAT, BUT I DON'T RECALL ANYBODY CONTACTING ME.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? SO WHERE YOU SAY YOU, WE USED TO BE HANDLING THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO I, I KNOW, BUT YEAH, I DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW I'M ASSUMING THE MEMOS OUT FOR, UH, VETERAN'S DAY.
SO I THINK WITH THAT MOVING FORWARD, UM, EITHER ONE OF US, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WILL DISCUSS HOW WOULDN'T DO IT, BUT SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY, OKAY, WELL WE HAVE THE FINAL APPROVAL FROM, AND LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, IF, IF YOU'RE REACHING OUT OR WHOEVER'S REACHING OUT TO WHOEVER FOR WHATEVER, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SAY, OKAY, WELL WE HAVE THE FINAL APPROVAL AND WE'RE A OKAY WITH WHATEVER THE CASE IS AND WE CAN CONFIRM OR DENY WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE, OR PARTICIPATION OR LIKE I SAID IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, I SENT THOSE MEMOS OUT.
SOMEONE ELSE, YOU KNOW, CAN SEND THOSE MEMOS AND THEN IT WILL BE IN ONE LANE VERSUS ME SENDING IT.
SEE HOW THAT, SEE HOW THAT KIND OF CREATES CONFUSION.
WHEN I WAS THE CHAIR AND THE CO-CHAIR, I DID IT.
I SENT THE MEMO OUT AND I, WITH THE INFORMED COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WHO WAS ATTENDING, WHO WASN'T ATTENDING OR WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING SO FAR, I'VE BEEN SUBMITTING IT, BUT THIS TIME I DIDN'T FOLLOW UP AND THAT'S WHERE THE BREAKDOWN
[00:15:01]
WAS.SO IT'S, IT'S JUST Y'ALL FORWARD I DO.
Y'ALL JUST DOUBLE CHECK OUR WORK.
SO SIR, HOWEVER Y'ALL WANT ME, Y'ALL DON'T WANT ME TO SEND A MEMO? YOU WANT ME TO SEND A MEMO? JUST LET ME KNOW I'M HERE.
YEAH, I THINK THAT WE STILL GO FORWARD WITH HAVING OTHER COMMISSIONERS SEND OUT MEMOS OR REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE.
THAT WAY WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S INVOLVED AND EVERYBODY HAS A PART.
WE'RE JUST GONNA ADD THAT EXTRA LAYER ON SAYING, HEY, EITHER MYSELF OR THE CHAIR HAS A OKAY.
AND WE VERIFIED THAT WHOEVER IT IS OR WHATEVER ENTITY ENTITY IT IS, IS PART OF IT.
AND THEY, THEY'RE TRACKING EVERYTHING TO GO, I JUST WANT TO PLAN HEAD, THAT'S ALL.
SO, MOVING FORWARD AFTER THIS DATE, THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA GO.
YOU KNOW, SO WE HAVE IT NOT JUST WE DISCUSSED IT, BUT WHAT WAS THE SOLUTION? YES.
AND THEN I, AT THE SAME TIME, YOU MAKE THE CHECKLIST THAT IT SITTING ON THERE SUPPOSED TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S CONFIRMED FOR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO MYSELF.
IS IT, I MEAN, IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH IT AS FAR AS THAT BEING THE GAME PLAN MOVING FORWARD? YEAH.
ONE, I DON'T THINK WE USED YOUR CHECK SHEET WE USED FOR THE LAST EVENT.
I GOT, I STILL GOT MONEY IN THERE.
I I, I CHECKED IT OFF AS I LOAN, I SAY AT THE END, I GOT DOWN TO THE LAST CALLED SO MANY DAYS SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPOSED PLACE, PUT MY INITIAL RIGHT TO CHECK MYSELF.
THEY DID WE GET THIS PERSON, DID WE GET THAT PERSON? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO, YEAH.
I, I JUST REMEMBER WE HAD A CHECK SHEET.
I, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT MEETING BEFORE US GOING OVER THE CHECK SHEET.
I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA SUGGEST, UH, MAYBE WE NEED TO START WORKING IN PAIRS BECAUSE LIKE ALL MY CONTACTS OF THE BASE ARE MINE.
NOBODY ELSE KNOWS WHO I COULD GET AHOLD OF.
SO IT WOULD BE GOOD, LIKE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME AND I COULDN'T CONTINUE, SOMEONE ELSE HAD THAT INFORMATION AS WELL.
SO THAT WAY THERE'S AT LEAST TWO LIES ON IT.
AND, AND ALL THE INFORMATION'S OUT THERE.
WELL, I I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IN ANY, IN ANY COMMUNICATION THAT WE'RE HAVING, AT LEAST HAVE MYSELF OR THE CHAIR CC ON THE EMAIL.
THAT WAY WE CAN TRACK WHAT'S GOING ON.
ONE THING WE GOT WORRY ABOUT NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
WHAT MISTAKE, WHAT HAPPENED THE NEXT TIME? YES, SIR.
I MEAN, IT'S OKAY TO HAVE, UH, INCIDENTS LIKE THAT.
'CAUSE WE, WE LEARNED FROM IT AND, UH, WE HANDLE IT PRETTY WELL, I THINK.
I MEAN, WE'VE HAD INCIDENTS WHERE YEAH, OUR, OUR SPEAKER DIDN'T SHOW.
WE HAD PEOPLE COME AT FIVE O'CLOCK, 10
SO, I MEAN, THOSE, THOSE ARE LITTLE THINGS THAT, THAT WE LEARN FROM, THAT WE'VE LEARNED, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT USING MILITARY TIME ANYMORE.
SO I THINK THAT THAT IS A, I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE OUR LAYER OF EXTRA CAUTION IS, IS MAKING SURE WHATEVER COMMUNICATION IS GOING ON, UH, AT LEAST HAVE ONE OF US CC'D ON, ON, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN TRACK ON WHAT'S GOING ON.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YOU, DID EVERYBODY FEEL THE WINDOW? I MEAN, DID, DID EVERYBODY, I, I, I THINK WE DID A GREAT JOB CARRYING THAT WEEK.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANY WAS GONNA, WANTED US TO VOLUNTEER FOR ANY ADVANCE RES.
THE PICTURE THEY SENT, WE LOOKED GOOD.
CARRY, I SEEN YOU GUYS LIKE, OH YEAH.
AND WE HAD A FRONT SECURE TOO.
YES, I DO WANT, I DO WANNA BRING THAT UP.
THAT'S, I WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S DONE.
SO THE NEXT THING I WANTED TO BRING UP WITH THE, WITH THE MEMORIAL, DAVID WAS THE ONE OF THE CITIZENS THAT MADE A COMMENT.
AND, UH, I HAVEN'T GOT TO CHARLES, THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME BACK.
I, AT THE TIME, DIDN'T WANT TO PUT WHAT I WANTED TO PUT DOWN BECAUSE I KNEW, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I HAD TO THINK OF A MORE POLITICAL WAY TO SAY WHAT I SAID.
BUT I THINK THE WAY YOU SAID IT WAS, UH, YOU SAID THAT, I MEAN, YOUR RESPONSE WAS, AND, AND, AND THING ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, IT IS, AND I, I UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE ARE BRAVE AND THEY GO TO DIFFERENT TYPE OF CHURCH.
THEY DO THIS, THEY DO THAT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST SOMEBODY THAT CARRIES FOR THE MILITARY THAT'S BEEN TO WAR, THAT'S, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S, YOU KNOW, I I, AND LIKE YOU SAID BEFORE, WE, WE DON'T HAVE, WE NEVER HAD A DRESS CODE PER SE FOR, FOR OUR INDIVIDUALS THAT WE GET TO COME HERE.
IF I FELT AS THOUGH WHEN SHE CAME HERE, SHE WAS NOT DRESSED IN THE RIGHT WAY, I WOULD SEE SOMETHING RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT SHE'S THERE TO REPRESENT THE LORD, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND, AND I SEE HER EVERY DAY AT THE PA AND SHE'S LOVED THERE AND SHE'S ALWAYS TAKING HER TIME.
I SEE HER COME IN MANY TIMES WHEN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT, SHE COMES IN ON HER OFF TIME JUST TO COME BACK SO SHE CAN TALK TO HER LIKE, AND
[00:20:01]
COMFORT YOUR LOVED ONES AT THE SAME TIME.SHE DOESN'T REALLY, SHE DOES FROM THE HEART.
SO, UM, UM, I, YOU KNOW, I, I, LIKE I SAID THOUGH, I UNDERSTAND, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE IN WEARING A THREE PIECE SUIT WHENEVER THEY GO TO CHURCH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND YOU TIME TO CHANGE NOW.
BUT SOME OLDER FOLKS, THEY STILL SEE IT LIKE THAT.
SOMEBODY, IT IS A, IT IS A MINISTER OR A CHAPLAIN OR A PREACHER OR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THEY SHOULD BE DRESSED TO THE NON, YOU KNOW.
BUT I THINK THE REALIZATION IS THAT IF THEY'RE TRYING TO, IF THEY'RE REPRESENTING, UM, A RELIGIOUS FACTION LIKE THAT, NOT EVERYBODY WEARS A THREE PIECE SUIT.
NOT EVERYBODY WEARS A TIE ANYMORE.
I MEAN, MOST PASSENGERS SEE MIND, PARTICULARLY THE DOCTOR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SOMETIMES HE WEARS CHUCK TAYLORS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, WITH HIS OUTFITS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? JUST BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THAT WAY THAT THE, THE THINGS GO ANYMORE.
SO, BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU, I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING TO THE WAY YOU RESPONDED VERY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? DID A VERY, VERY GOOD JOB.
BUT WAS THERE ANY FEEDBACK TO YOU? I, IT WAS, THAT WAS IT.
I'M NOT SURE IF THEY EVEN RECEIVED THE, THE, THE EMAIL.
UM, BUT LIKE YOU WERE SAYING THAT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE AS A COMMISSION FOCUS IS FOCUS ON, YOU KNOW, IS WHAT IS SOMEBODY WEARING AS PART AS THEIR ENTIRE FOR, FOR, UM, THE EVENT.
UM, AND LIKE YOU SAID, IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE FELT INAPPROPRIATE, INAPPROPRIATE, UH, IT WOULD'VE BEEN ADDRESSED AND AND HANDLED RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
SO, UM, EVERYBODY DID GET TO SEE THAT, THAT MESSAGE, RIGHT? YES.
UM, NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS THE, THE JULY 4TH PARADE, WHICH IS GONNA BE HELD IN JUNE.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ON THE FIFTH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON THE FOURTH.
FOR THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO IT'S, IT'S THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE THE FOURTH.
SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A WHOLE WEEKEND BEFORE THAT.
UM, I KNOW THAT WE USUALLY USUALLY PUT THE TRUCK OUT THERE WITH A SIGN ON THERE AND WE CAN'T PASS OUT CANDY ANYMORE, YOU KNOW, SO, BUT WE CAN STILL PASS OUT CANDY.
THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO MORE THROWING CANDY ANYMORE.
YOU GOT TO HAND IT OUT TO, TO PEOPLE NOW.
SO I DUNNO WHO THAT HURT OR INJURED, BUT I'M SURE IT'S THE SAFETY DETECTIVE.
SO I GUESS BETWEEN, TO TOSSING A COUPLE THINGS, JOE, WE'LL TOUCH ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I, I SENT OUT EMAILS ABOUT, UM, THE FLYERS.
WE DON'T HAVE SO MUCH AS THE OLD ONES LEFT, SAY THREE, FOUR.
UM, NOT DOING ENOUGH TIME OTHER THAN I GETTING THE, THE DIGITAL PRINT TODAY.
AND I'M NOT KNOW TIME IS TIME, BUT WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT IS, I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GET IT DONE THIS WEEK FOR OR THAT QUICKLY.
UM, BUT WE'LL HAPPEN FOR THE NEXT EVENT.
AND, UM, AND YOU GUYS ARE HAPPY WITH THAT, UM, FILE.
WOULD YOU BE HAND OUT? BE OKAY? ALRIGHT.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW DISHON? YES.
SO WHEN I WENT, THAT WAS, I GET, I WENT UNTIL WE GET TO IT.
I WENT TO KIND OF COMBINED PAPER FLYER, SO, ALRIGHT.
SO FOR THE, FOR THE JULY PARADE, IS ANYBODY INTERESTED IN ACTUALLY WALKING THE FREIGHT OR RIDING IN A TRUCK WITH CHARGES? GONNA DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR OR NOT? IT'S UP.
YOU HAND ME UP IF WE WANT TO TAKE HIS TRUCK AGAIN OR WE WANT EVEN PARTICIPATE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING I THINK THAT WE SHOULD DO IF POSSIBLE.
I GOT, I CAN, I CAN DO IT SINCE IT'S NOT WHILE I CAN.
IF YOU WANT ME TO BODY, I'LL DO WITH JUST GIMME IMMEDIATE SPOT.
SO WE WILL, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PLANNING ON DOING IT, I GUESS WOULD BE THE QUESTION.
I WASN'T PLANNING TO DO IT, BUT I CAN DO IT.
I WAS, YOU KNOW, I'LL, I'LL DO IT.
SO IT'S BASICALLY US JUST BEING IN THE PARADE HANDING OUT FLYERS.
I'M NOT, I'M IS THAT THIS SATURDAY? IT'S THIS SATURDAY.
THE ARD ARE, THEY SHOULD BE IN THERE.
AND, AND WE, AND I'LL SAY THIS, WE'RE WE'RE FAR BEHIND.
WE'RE NOT REGISTERED, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PRIVILEGE.
WE CAN PUT OURSELVES IN CLUB TIME, YOU KNOW, REGISTER TO GET IN FREIGHT.
NO, BECAUSE SOMETHING I NEED TO DO.
CALL WE WE DIDN'T HAVE A MEETING, WE'D HAVE THAT.
SO ARE WE DOING THIS? WHAT WE DOING IN PLAN IS
[00:25:01]
WITH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WE'RE GONNA PUT IT SO GIVES YOU THAT IT, IT'S JUST BASICALLY A FORM YOU FILL OUT AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE PLANNING TO HAVE THIS EIGHT YEARS Z DO WE STILL HAVE THAT? DO YOU STILL HAVE THE, AND ALL THAT TYPE STUFF, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN DOING AGAIN? OKAY.UM, IN THE FUTURE I WOULD LIKE TO LIKE JUST TO SAY, 'CAUSE IT'S COMING MORE OF A DAY EVENT.
SOMETIMES DOWN THERE IS, YOU KNOW, MAY HAVE SOME OF YOU, YOU KNOW, TWO OR THREE FOR A DAY OR SOMETHING, LIKE A COUPLE HOURS GET, GET SOME MORE ARCH OR SOMETHING OUT ABOUT SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS. NOT TO, NOT TO JUMP AHEAD LIKE YOU WERE
AND I THINK THAT THAT COULD BE ANOTHER PLUG FOR US TO SAY, OKAY, WELL LET'S CONNECT'S CONNECT RED CROSS.
THEY TRYING TO GET, DO SOMETHING WITH THEM.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY CAME TALK TO, CAME HERE AND TOLD HIM, TALKED TO NOT LONG AGO.
THE, AND THE LITTLE HECTIC BECAUSE I, I FOR SURE WANNA GET A PROGRAM GOING WHERE WE CAN HAVE LIKE A, LIKE A NIGHT OUT AND YOU KNOW, VETERANS TO COME IN AND MAYBE GET THEIR IDS REGISTERED, YOU KNOW, DOING ALL OF THAT STUFF.
BUT YEAH, BECAUSE I SEE A NEED FOR, UH, I'VE BEEN SEEING MORE AND MORE INDIVIDUALS THAT DON'T HAVE THEIR TWO, THEIR TWO FOURTEENS ON FIVE, MAN.
SO I'VE BEEN DOING THAT A LOT AND GETTING PEOPLE'S, UM, THEIR, THEIR VETERAN ID CARD MADE FOR THEM DOWN THERE.
SO, SO THERE'S, THERE'S A PROGRAM, I'LL HAVE TO LOOK IT UP.
THERE'S A PROGRAM IN COLUMBUS THAT THEY HAVE, UH, IT'S CALLED KNOW YOUR NUMBERS.
AND IT'S BASICALLY WHERE THE LOCAL VA COMES OUT.
LIKE, AND THEY PARTNER WITH THE CITY AND THEY COME OUT AND THEY DO THINGS LIKE, UM, BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS AND, YOU KNOW, ALL, ALL OF THAT TYPES OF STUFF.
AND IT'S CALLED KNOW YOUR NUMBERS.
AND THEN THEY REGISTER PEOPLE WITH THEIR VIC CARS OR, UM, THAT THEY NEED TO GET REGISTERED FOR THEIR BASE IDENTIFICATION COSTS.
YOU HAVE VSLS ON, ON, ON THEIR YEAH, WE DO THAT FOR OUR STAND DOWN HERE.
SO THAT, I MEAN THAT'S SOMETHING IF, IF THEY REALLY DO WANT TO WORK WITH US, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I FEEL LIKE WILL BE BENEFICIAL AND THERE'S SOMETHING THEY NEED COULD BRING ACROSS THEM INVOLVED AND, AND THEY CAN GET IN.
UM, AND WE CAN WORK WITH THE CHAMBER CU AND DO ALL THAT.
SO, SO CIRCLE BACK DOWN WE GO HERE.
SO AS FAR AS THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE GOES, YOU WILL BE ATTENDING PARADE IF MIKE CAN GET US IN THERE.
UH, MR. MCDONALD, YOU GOING, YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH HIM? YEAH.
WHAT, WHAT TIME DOES IT START AGAIN? JUST 10 O'CLOCK PARADE I BELIEVE.
LINEUP STARTS, I BELIEVE IT STARTS, PARADE STARTS AT 10, I BELIEVE.
AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE I'M THERE AT FIVE, SO I DON'T GO THAT FAR.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? FROM, FROM THE KROGER'S.
WHAT? THAT YOUR WIFE'S THAT, WHAT'S THAT THING NOW? I FORGOT WHAT THAT'S CALLED.
YEAH, WE JUST GO FROM THERE TO, YEAH.
WELL, OKAY, BUT I, AND I I'LL SAY THIS, IF, IF IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO OR IT IS JUST THE INCONVENIENCE, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT.
LIKE THAT'S NOT NO, WE DON'T HAVE TO PUSH FOR IT.
I WOULD RATHER US COLLECTIVELY HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN HERE RATHER THAN MYSELF DRIVING AND ONE PERSON WALKING.
SO IF IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN BE A PART OF, WE CAN MAYBE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, DOING SOMETHING AT THE, AT THE FIREWORK OR AT THE PARK.
MAYBE HAVE AN 10 OUT THERE, LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, WE DON'T HAVE TO BE A PART OF THE PARADE.
AND, AND EVEN THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE PROBLEM.
THAT MIGHT GET A BETTER NIGHT TO GET PEOPLE YEAH.
THAT WOULD BE A BETTER VENUE TO GIVE US A LITTLE MORE PLANNING TIME.
YEAH, EVERYBODY GOT, EVERYBODY WAS ON THE EMAIL.
YOU SAW IT OR YOU DIDN'T SEE IT.
IT'S THERE SO IT DIDN'T, IT IS A GOOD PRR CODE.
I, IT'S GOOD KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE, I THINK, UH, I LIKED IT, BUT IF WE ALREADY BLINK IT, WE JUST GOT THE QR REPORT ON IT.
RIGHT NOW THE MILITARY GAME ME WIN HIGH SCHOOL.
SO DO THEY WANT US TO COME AGAIN AS USUAL? THEY, THEY WOULD LIKE US TO COME AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME WE'RE GONNA BE HAVE A TROPHY FOR THEM AHEAD OF TIME TO GIVE THEM SO THEY CAN PRESENT IT TO THE WINNER.
DO THEY KNOW WHICH GAME IT'S GOING TO BE? NO, IT'S GONNA BE ONE OF THE FIRST TWO GAMES.
[00:30:01]
IF HE'S GOT A AWAY GAME OR HOME GAME, HE'S DOING WELL THE FIRST, THE FIRST TWO GAMES WE PLAYED FAIRFIELD AND HOME DEPOT, WE PLAYED, UH, PICK AND CENTRAL OF COURSE.AND THEN THE THIRD GAME WOULD GO UP TO ST AND PLAY ST.
IT, IT'LL DEFINITELY BE, IT'S GONNA BE A HOME GAME.
HE SAID WHATEVER THE FIRST TWO HOME GAMES THERE, SO.
SO, BUT I WOULD LIKE STILL, WHAT'S THAT? WE'RE STILL BOOTS? WE TALKING? NO, WE GOT BOOTS.
I TOLD THAT THE VA PEOPLE BRING ME.
I GOT, SO I'M LIKE, OH SHOOT, I GOT, SO, UM, I WANT TO KNOW IF GONNA BE POSSIBLE, COULD WE GET THE PAVER UH, FLYERS, THE UPDATED ONES BY THE TIME THE, THE, THE MILITARY MAN COMES AROUND.
BECAUSE I THINK IT'D BE, THAT'S A GOOD PLACE FOR IT TO BE IF BEFORE GOING THE, THE 4TH OF JULY STUFF, THEN, THEN DEFINITELY I'LL GET THAT MOVING.
I JUST THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE FOR IT TO BE.
WE'D BE RIGHT THERE BY THE GATE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE HAND COME IN, UM, THAT WAY WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE.
HE I KNOW, I KNOW I ATTEND AND I KNOW THAT CHARLES THERE ALL THE TIME.
SO I MEAN MARK, MARK HERE ALL THE TIME.
SO, UH, SO THAT SECOND GAME FOR WAYNE WOULD BE PICK YES.
AND THEN THE THIRD GAME WOULD BE ST.
THE SECOND GAME WOULD BE ON AUGUST 29TH.
SO THE FIRST GAME IS HOME AGAINST FIRST ONE'S AUGUST 22ND AT HOME.
SO WHAT'S THE SECOND HOME GAME THEN HAVE PLAYED ST IT WOULD BE SPRING, SEPTEMBER 12TH.
I WONDER IF THAT'S GONNA BE THE MILITARY NIGHT THEN.
YEAH, I DON'T, I I HE'S, HE'S DONE OFF SITE UNTIL THE 30TH.
OKAY, SO, OKAY, WELL THAT'D BE, WE GET THAT SEPTEMBER 12TH.
SO, ALRIGHT, SO WE'LL GET IN CONTACT, UM, FIND OUT WHEN THAT GAME IS GONNA BE IMPORTANT.
WE KNOW GONNA MEET YOUR DEADLINE.
WHO KIND OF OPPONENT IS THAT? JUST OKAY.
IS IT A TYPE OPPONENT SPRING WORLD? YEAH.
AND IT HAVE BEEN LATELY, BUT WAYNE'S SENIOR THIS YEAR A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN IT HAVE BEEN.
WHICHEVER GAME HE DECIDE THAT HE WANTS TO DO THEN YEAH, I HEARD YOU SAY IT RIGHT? YEAH.
WAYNE'S DOING WELL, THEY JUST WON STATE AND PUT VINCE TRACK OR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO THEY'RE DOING REAL WELL, BUT THEY JUST WANT TO SEVEN ON SEVEN COMPETITION FOR STATE TOO AS WELL.
SO THEM GENTLEMEN ARE PRETTY FAST AND WITHOUT PASSING EVERY EVEN FASTER, MAN, IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE
SO GOOD BUNCH OF COACHABLE KIDS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY NEW BUSINESS? ANY NEW BUSINESS FOR RIGHT NOW? I WANT START WORKING ON YES.
UM, SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON KIND OF A SIDE THING IS, UM, I TALKED, I MENTIONED IT TO YOU BEFORE, YOUR APPROVAL IS, UM, MOVING FORWARD WITH VETERANS WAY IN BETWEEN 2 0 0 2, 0 2 OUT ON TAYLORSVILLE IS HAVING THE TRAFFIC BOXES WRAPPED IN MAKING MILITARY THE VETERANS COMMISSION THEME THING.
YOU HAVE SEEN THESE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES, UH, WHERE THEY'RE, THEY'RE THEY'RE WRAPPED LIKE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT STUFF AND YOU KNOW, BUT THIS IS KIND OF LIKE GONNA BE THE START PROGRAM THAT, UM, HOPE TO CONTINUE WITH DIFFERENT ASPECTS AND GROUPS, BUT THESE ARE GONNA BE OUR FIRST TWO WITHIN THE CITY THAT WE'RE GOING FORWARD.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY WANT TO PUT ON HIM OR WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO.
UH, MY, MY SUGGESTION RIGHT NOW IS LIKE A WRAPPING LIKE AMERICAN FLAG WITH A CITY LOGO, THE VETERANS COMMISSION LOGO AND MAYBE SOME, YOU KNOW, THE SERVICE BRANCH LOGOS AS WELL.
LIKE, UM, LIKE I, LIKE I I I'M WAITING FOR SOME RENDERINGS.
UM, ONCE I GET THOSE OFF, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SEND 'EM OUT TO YOU AND YOU GUYS CAN GET THUMBS UP OR NOT.
I THINK BEAVER CREEK DOES IT TOO.

NOT OLD WARRIOR WARRIOR'S GOOD OR WARRIORS.
I DON'T, WE, ME AND THE TROPHY GUY WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH AND HE COULDN'T THINK OF WARRIORS.
I WOULD SAY IT COULD BE DEAN WARRIOR'S, BUT AT THIS WE GOING DO I I THINK IT SHOULD BE D WARRIOR FOOD.
I THINK IT SHOULD BE D BUT I YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO, SO LOOK, THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMMISSION, SO WE CAN PUT IN MOTION AND PUT THAT IN.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TAKE A VOTE OFF.
[00:35:02]

SO IT'S NOT ISOLATING IT TWO WAYNE.
IF IT'S D IT'S BASICALLY SAYING THIS IS FOR THE WARRIOR D WIN.
WELL A A IS ALSO SUBJECT SUBJECTS PERSONALIZATION OF A PERSON.
IF YOU HAVE A WARRIOR'S BOOT, YOU HAVE THAT WARRIOR'S BOOT.
A COULD MAKE A WARRIOR'S ARGUMENT THAT WE WERE, THAT WAS A WARRIOR'S BOOT THAT WE'RE CELEBRATING IN A TROPHY FOR, AND I DON'T WANNA GET INTO THE SEMANS, BUT THE SEMANS IS DO IS YOU, I'M JEALOUS, I'M NOT JEALOUS, BUT I'M LIKE, I'M A WARRIOR.

IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT REIMBURSED FOR, YOU NEED REIMBURSE FOR, WHICH I THINK YOU DO AND I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.
UH, IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER, OTHER WORDS OF BUSINESS, UH, WE'RE DOWN TO THE JOURNEY.
SO, UM, ANYBODY ELSE BEFORE WE TAKE OUR PROGRAM? LET'S, SINCE WE'RE HERE, LET'S USE THE TIME WISELY AND LET'S GET A JUMPSTART ON.
VETERAN'S DAY, THAT'S THIS NEW BUSINESS.
UH, SO IS THERE, IS THERE ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY THAT WE HAVE IDEA WISE FOR VETERANS DAY THAT WE NORMALLY DON'T DO? I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START.
UM, AND THEN FIGURING OUT WHO'S GONNA BE OUR MC, UH, WHO'S GONNA BE IN CHARGE OF REACHING OUT FOR, UH, GUEST SPEAKERS AND WHO'S GONNA BE IN CHARGE OF REACHING OUT FOR OUR, UM, PASS.
SO IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO DO THE MC FOUR VETERAN STATEMENT FOR THE STATEMENT? EVERYBODY DON'T RUSH TO IT.
[00:40:01]
WHAT UNIFORM ARE WE WEARING? IS IT THE FEDER? DO YOU HAVE THE SHIRTS? WILL THEY BE AVAILABLE FOR ME AT THAT TIME? SO MAYBE NOT.YOU WILL HAVE A SHIRT BY THEN.
SO THEY'RE ALREADY WORKING THE SHIRT.
VETERANS DAY IN OHIO HIT I I WORN HOODIES.
I MEAN IT IS BEEN YEAH, SO SNOW AT ONE POINT IN TIME, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO THE WEATHER DEPENDING ON YOUR DRESS.
SO WE GO, UM, SO OUR FIRST GOAL WOULD BE FIGURING OUT WHO WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE ROLE AS THE MC FOUR ELECTION 20.
SO WE'LL START OUR, OH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S HOW WE CAN COME UP WITH, THAT'S, THAT'S, WE GOT PLENTY OF TIME.
WE GOT, WE ALWAYS START AT 120 DAYS.
SO THAT'S, BUT SO CAN EVERYBODY THINK ABOUT IT? SOMEBODY WANT TO TAKE THE, TAKE THE REINS ON? JUST THINK ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO PUT ON THE SPOT RIGHT NOW.
SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE, I IT'S NOT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT.
SO CAN I SAY YEAH, OF COURSE IS BACK TO SOME OF WHAT CHRIS WAS SAYING A LITTLE BIT IS, UM, KNOW I WAS ARMY, YOU KNOW, I, THIS SHOOT LITTLE COMMUNICATE, OKAY.
WAS A TANKER PUT INTO THE DESERT, PULL OUT, SHOOT, MOVE, COMMUNICATE.
AND I LIKE THE TEAM ASPECT OF WHAT YOU, YOU PROPOSED AS FAR AS SCHOOL.
YOU KIND OF KEEP IT UP TOGETHER, SAY, HEY, I GOT THIS DONE.
SO YOU'RE CHECKING EACH OTHER AUGUST.
YOU KNOW, SO I JUST, JUST A SUGGESTION.
SO, AND THESE TWO, TAKE THIS ONE AND TAKE THAT ONE.
YOU KNOW, SO OF YOU'RE MOVING TOGETHER AND THEN YOU COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE KNOW WE CANNOT HAVE MEETINGS AS FAR AS ALL OF US AT ONCE.
PLUS IT'S A, A SCHEDULED MEETING AND IT HAS TO BE THIS, RIGHT? YES.
YOU CAN HAVE INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS THAT WE ARE ALWAYS SHOOTING, MOVING, COMMUNICATED.
AND I DON'T DISAGREE LIKE LONG LEAD ITEMS. I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW WE ORDER A READ, YOU GOTTA GET SET UP AND WE HAVE BADGE CLOSER.
THE DECISION, THE TIMELINE IS ALREADY THERE.
WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO, DECIDE, PROCEED, MAKE THE DECISIONS, LOOK AT LAST YEAR'S TIMELINE OR SET THE TIER SET OUT AND THEN GET IT OFF.
SO WHEN WE COME BACK FOR OUR NEXT MEETING, WE'LL BE, IT'LL BE HUNDRED 20 DAYS OR 128 GOALS ARE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE HAVE SIX OF 'EM FOR 120 DAYS.
ENSURE A TIMELINE AND LOCATION IS CORRECT.
I'M SORRY, OUR TIME AND LOCATION IS CORRECT.
OUR TIME BY TIME REQUEST THE PRESENCE OF A COLOR GUARD, HONOR GUARDS OR OTHER SPECIALTY GROUPS.
I'M GONNA DO IT FOR WAYNE AND FOR OKAY.
DETERMINE WHO WILL BE, IT WILL BE DONE BEFORE.
DETERMINE WHO WILL BE THE MC OF THE EVENT.
I SAID WE GOTTA COME WHEN WE COME HERE.
ENSURE AND ENSURE THAT THE TIME AND DATE ARE SET IN STONE.
THERE'S GONNA BE NO CHANGE ONCE WE DECIDE THIS, WE KNOW THAT IT'S ON THE, THE 11TH OF NO, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AND WE KNOW WHAT TIME YOU HAVE IT AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE WANNA CHANGE.
I DON'T SEE REASON FOR TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT NEXT WEEK.
CONTACT THE MEDIA WITH THE CORRECT TIME AND LOCATION.
ONCE WE, WE, THE STONE BOOM WE LEAVE HERE, SOMEBODY GONNA GO CONTACT THE TIDE MEDIA, YOU KNOW, MAKE SO ELSE YOU KNOW, THAT'S GONNA BE YOUR JOB TO GO CONTACT THE MEDIA WITH THE CORRECT TIME AND LOCATION.
AND THEN THE LESSON IS CONTACT THE HUBER HEIGHTS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WITH LOCATION AND TIME FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES.
SO WE SHOULD KNOW THIS ALREADY.
AND THAT IS, THAT IS ONE THING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHERE I FEEL LIKE NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO JUMP ON THAT AS FAR AS MAKING SURE, LIKE IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED, LIKE THE RED CROSS COME BACK AND PEOPLE FROM THE CHAMBER COLLEGE.
NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO START MAKING THOSE CALLS.
I KNOW WE'RE SHOOTING FOR THE STARTS WHEN WE SAY, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE HAVING A FLYOVER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE TALKED ABOUT.
BUT THAT'S, THAT'S, THEY TOLD ME I COULDN'T DO IT.
SO EVENTUALLY THAT'S WHAT I WANT US TO HAVE HERE.
THAT, THAT AT ONE OF OUR EVENTS.
BUT MEMORIAL DAY OR OR OR SOMEBODY TELL ME I CAN'T DO SOMETHING, THEN THAT JUST DRIVES ME EVEN MORE.
AND I THINK WE GOTTA WEIGH IN NOW.
I, I, I SOON, SOON AS YOU TOLD ME, ALL THAT'S ALL IN MY MIND I KEPT THINKING ABOUT, OH, OH LORD, YOU, YOU DID IT AGAIN.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO I JUST TALKED TO ONE AT THE AIR SHOW.
I WAS WORKING THE AIR SHOW TOO.
SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN START PUTTING INTO MOTION RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND THEN LIKE YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD, THINK ABOUT OKAY, WHO WANTS TO REACH OUT TO WHO? UH, I THINK THAT D FRANCISCO DID A GREAT JOB.
[00:45:01]
IT WOULD BE, UH, A GREAT IDEA TO PARTNER AND TO WRAP BACK AROUND WITH THE VA AND, AND AS PART OF IT AGAIN THIS YEAR.IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN TALK ABOUT.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT HAVING MULTIPLE GUEST SPEAKERS, UM, JUST SO THAT THE WHEELS ARE TURNING RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS WERE TALKING UP AT THE VERY BEGINNING HERE ABOUT DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE.
I I'VE ONLY SEEN THE, THE THE ONE PREVIOUS VETERAN SPACE CEREMONY LAST YEAR.
BUT I MEAN, DO WE EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE, UH, I MEAN THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT, GREAT POETRY HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN IN HOMAGE TO, TO VETERANS MILITARY SERVICE.
I MEAN, IF WE COULD FIND SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER? LIKE, LIKE HAVING A READING OF ONE OF THOSE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN ALWAYS WEAR A COMMISSION.
THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN ALWAYS BRING UP TO THE COMMISSION.
I, THERE'S BEEN TIMES WHERE I'VE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT AS FAR AS LIKE, 'CAUSE I KNOW EVEN THOUGH LIKE THE, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, LIKE THEY DO VETERANS DAYS POEMS, LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, MAYBE EVEN DOING SOMETHING AS FAR AS HAVING LIKE ANY OR INVITING THEM TO COME OUT AND BE A PART OF IT.
I I BELIEVE THAT MR. MCDONALD HAD SUGGESTED THAT WE DO SOME SORT OF CONTEST WHERE WE HAVE SOMEBODY WRITE ABOUT YEAH.
WHITE FLAG, WHITE LOVE AMERICA.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND THEN THAT PERSON THAT WE TO BE, THAT, THAT COULD BE OUR SPEAKER AT OUR, AT OUR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AT OUR VICTOR DAY, AT OUR VICTOR DAY, YOU HAVE A GROUP OF KIDS SPEAK.
WE CAN HAVE, WE CAN ADD ONE OF THE SCHOOLS TO COME WITH US, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND YOU KNOW, SO I KNOW I PROVIDE SOMETHING ELSE I DO ON THE SIDE BESIDES, BUT I PARTNER WITH, UM, WITH
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO, AND WE DO HAVE THE, I MEAN THE CONNECTION WITH MS. DAVIS OVER AT, UH, STUDENT MAKER.
SO IF, IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO, WE HAVE THE CONNECTIONS, WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
UH, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE EVEN MORE CONNECTIONS WITH THE YES.
SO, UH, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO START TALKING ABOUT NOW BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, WHEN WE DO COME BACK, WE ARE AT THAT HUNDRED 28.
YOU KNOW, SO I I I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT OUR TRADITIONAL TIMELINE IS FOR OUR, FOR OUR EVENT, PLEASE WRITE IT DOWN.
YOU, YOU SEND IT TO ME OR, OR, OR TO CHEER, I MEAN CHEER ADVICE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND, AND, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN TALK TO BECAUSE I SAID WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER ALL THE TIME.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT.
THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING I OUGHT TO DO.
LET WE WANT PLAN ANOTHER MEETING.
BUT, UM, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, BE RESPECTFUL OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, PERSON LIVES AND STUFF.
SO, BUT, UM, I THINK ALL THOSE IDEAS ARE VIABLE.
I I DON'T THINK THAT, I DON'T WANT TO SEE US PUT IT IN SIX DIFFERENT THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, AT ONE TIME FOR A NEW, BUT I THINK WE GET A COUPLE OF GOOD IDEAS.
I THINK THAT THAT'S, THOSE ARE VIABLE IDEAS.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE AS COMMISSION MAN.
WE WANT DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO THINK DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE DON'T WANT, WE ALL DOING THE SAME THING EVERY TIME.
AND EVERY TIME WE DO SOMETHING, WE SHOULD TRY TO ELEVATE OURSELVES TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I THINK THAT WE HAVE THE RESOURCES HERE AND WE HAVE MORE THAN THAT.
WE HAVE THE MINDS HERE TO DO STUFF LIKE THAT, MORE IMPORTANTLY.
I TOLD, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID ABOUT THE FIREWORK PEOPLE, I COULDN'T DO THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M WORKING ON, YOU KNOW, SO I THINK WE SHOULD ALWAYS TRY TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
MY DAUGHTER'S THE DAYTON DRONE OPERATOR FOR THE POLICE.
WELL, HEY, YOU DRONE FLYOVER? YEAH,
