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.

01:54Well, if you want to nominate someone for Military Monday or First Responder Friday, all you do is go to 995QIK.com.
