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. We got Charity on the phone. Good morning, Charity. How are you?

00:14Good morning. How are you?

00:16We are doing great. So we get to honor your husband today for Military Monday. His name is Sean.

00:20Tell us how Sean served our country.

00:23Well, he spent 14 years in the National Guard.

00:27The first couple of years, he was a recruiter for the National Guard.

00:32So he was active Army. And then he spent about a year and a half overseas in, I think, 2013 in Afghanistan.

00:39Oh, wow. And were you guys married at the time?

00:41No. So I met him probably about a year and a half after he came home.

00:48Okay. I'm sure that was a good welcome home gift right there.

00:50Meet your future wife.

00:52Yeah. How'd you guys meet?

00:54Well, I actually was his boss.

00:56I hired him.

00:58Oh, wow.

00:59All right.

01:00Okay.

01:00And the plot thickens.

01:02Yeah. And the plot thickens. Yeah.

01:04So it was, I guess, his second civilian job, per se, when he came home.

01:09And I hired him.

01:11And after a year or two, he was no longer, like, underneath me, per se.

01:15And, yeah, we chose to pursue a relationship and ended up marrying.

01:20Wow.

01:21I love that.

01:21Did you hire him because he was cute and you were attracted to him?

01:24I mean, be honest.

01:26I mean, he was cute.

01:27Yeah.

01:28I love it.

01:29I love that.

01:30We're going to have an HR violation all of a sudden here.

01:33No.

01:33You know, Charity, when he gets, when you meet him and you learn about his service, because

01:38obviously it was before you guys were married, I mean, what are your reactions to some of

01:41maybe his stories or him talking about his service?

01:44Like, what is your kind of takeaway from all that?

01:46Yeah, so it was interesting to me, honestly, like, just to learn so much about it and what

01:54they go through and just the time away.

01:56And, like, my biggest takeaway from him has always been just the value of time.

02:00That's what he took away from his entire service is that, like, you know, time is not a for-sure

02:05thing and that time is, like, the most precious thing in life and just to, like, live it, live

02:11life to the fullest.

02:12Yeah.

02:12Great advice.

02:13You've got to be proud of him, too, obviously.

02:15Yeah, I'm super proud.

02:17I'm super proud that he can go and do and see and touch all the things he has and experience

02:22in his life and come out of it with just, like, such a positive outlook.

02:26And he's just this guy that can walk in a room and change the whole aura because he just

02:30has this joy about him and just, he's a really good guy.

02:34That's fantastic.

02:35I can see why you're honoring him today.

02:37Yes.

02:38Well, here, listen, we are so thankful for Sean's service and we're thankful for you reaching

02:41out to us and letting us know about Sean.

02:43Oh, we want to do this.

02:44We want to give you a $100 Visa gift card from our friends at Stingray Chevrolet.

02:47This is a small way for us to say thank you to you and thank you to Sean for all that

02:51he has done for our country.

02:53And we're so appreciative.

02:54Awesome.

02:55That's so awesome.

02:56We really appreciate it.

02:57And I'm sure he will, too.
