Tampa Bay's Morning Crew want to honor and thank those who protect and serve our country.
00:05
Time now for Military Monday on 99.5 QYK.
00:10
It is Military Monday. We are honoring a military member in our community right now.
00:14
I have Brett on the phone. Good morning, Brett. How are you?
00:17
Very well.
00:18
Well, very cool, man. I'm excited today. We get to honor your dad, Joe.
00:22
Why don't you tell us how Joe served in our military?
00:25
Joe served in the Vietnam War. He did a tour in Vietnam back in 1968.
00:30
All right. Back in 68. And what branch did he serve in?
00:33
He was in the Army. He was a mortiman.
00:38
Oh, wow. And it said he was drafted when he was 18. Is that right?
00:41
That's correct. Young boy.
00:43
Let me ask you. I mean, does he ever talk about this with you, of what it was like to be drafted at the age of 18?
00:48
And the reason I ask is my dad was drafted at that age as well for the Vietnam War.
00:52
But have you ever had conversations with him about that and what that was like?
00:55
No, no. He doesn't talk about it at all.
00:58
No. Okay. Does he say anything about his service?
01:01
Not really. He wrote about it, but never talked about it.
01:06
My dad wrote me a note, too, about it, to be honest with you.
01:09
Yeah, it's a tough subject to talk about, no doubt about it.
01:12
If you wanted people to know something about your dad and you could describe your dad to the world, how would you do that?
01:18
Yeah. Loving, fun, caring. He has a lot of great qualities. I admire him. Everybody in the family admires him and is proud of him as well.
01:29
That's fantastic, man. And now, did he make a career out of the military or did he just serve and get out?
01:35
No, he served and got out.
01:36
And what did he end up doing?
01:38
He ended up doing a few things. Corrections, probation. He retired from probation. He did quite a few things.
01:46
Gotcha. All right. Well, listen, we want to do this. We are so honored that we got to learn about your dad a little bit.
01:53
And that was obviously a very tough time in our country's history.
01:58
And the fact that he served in Vietnam is so honorable and we're so thankful for his service.
02:03
And we want to do this. We want to give you something to give to him.
02:07
A $100 gift card from our friends at Stingray Chevrolet.
02:10
Small way for us to say thank you for his service. And we appreciate you, Brett.
02:13
I appreciate you, JR. Thank you.
02:15
My absolute pleasure and my honor, my friend.
02:17
Well, listen, if you want to honor someone for Military Monday or First Responder Friday,
02:21
you just nominate them right now at 99.5QIK.com.
