That 00:08.689 --> 00:11.409 was great . I want to give public kudos 00:11.409 --> 00:13.789 to Captain Struzyk and Master Riley . I 00:13.789 --> 00:15.900 gave them thanks in the remarks , but 00:16.129 --> 00:18.185 again , just among the family , good 00:18.185 --> 00:20.407 job to the two of you , to Herman Wah , 00:20.407 --> 00:22.240 I don't know if she's here , but 00:22.240 --> 00:24.462 everybody who had a hand in making that 00:24.462 --> 00:26.462 ceremony possible . It was really , 00:26.462 --> 00:25.889 really well done , and I've gotten a 00:25.889 --> 00:28.090 lot of feedback since we finished that 00:28.090 --> 00:30.368 everybody's very happy . Will is happy . 00:31.170 --> 00:33.470 Kelly's happy , so we please , we 00:33.470 --> 00:36.900 please the uh those folks , um . We 00:36.900 --> 00:39.220 wanted to do something special for you 00:39.220 --> 00:41.220 guys can relax that . We want to do 00:41.220 --> 00:43.331 something special for the kennels and 00:43.331 --> 00:45.387 we're gonna do something special for 00:45.387 --> 00:44.950 the range once they can start firing on 00:44.950 --> 00:47.939 the range because that was very focused 00:47.939 --> 00:50.299 on that building and yes the campus , 00:50.310 --> 00:52.450 but I want to talk about the kennels 00:52.779 --> 00:55.500 and what our men and women and dogs 00:55.500 --> 00:57.740 have endured um and you guys were in 00:57.740 --> 01:01.040 the kennel during all this . But I want 01:01.040 --> 01:03.520 to talk about a lot of the handlers um 01:03.520 --> 01:05.687 aren't here anymore and , and a couple 01:05.687 --> 01:07.909 of the handlers are deployed who really 01:07.909 --> 01:10.076 were integral in what we endured . But 01:10.076 --> 01:12.242 since the flood of 2019 . Our squadron 01:12.242 --> 01:15.220 was displaced , but there's one section 01:15.220 --> 01:17.940 in particular that sacrificed and 01:17.940 --> 01:20.129 worked harder than any other section 01:20.580 --> 01:23.449 from 19 until today . And that's our 01:23.449 --> 01:25.560 military working dog kennel section . 01:25.900 --> 01:28.650 The men and women and the dogs endured 01:28.650 --> 01:32.319 hardship . From 2019 till now . They 01:32.319 --> 01:34.720 have moved more than anyone else , and 01:34.720 --> 01:38.569 they were moved into some . Horrible 01:38.569 --> 01:40.970 facilities , right ? It was , there 01:40.970 --> 01:43.192 were health hazards to the dogs , there 01:43.192 --> 01:45.359 are health hazards to the humans , and 01:45.370 --> 01:47.370 I'm really proud of the team . They 01:47.370 --> 01:49.259 were able to get the mission done 01:49.259 --> 01:51.139 without any hiccups . They are 01:51.139 --> 01:54.529 resilient . And this is a symbolic 01:54.529 --> 01:57.379 milestone opening this officially , and 01:57.379 --> 01:59.490 I didn't want it to be anti-climactic 01:59.490 --> 02:01.657 and I didn't want you to not have your 02:01.657 --> 02:03.823 own ribbon cutting . So we're going to 02:03.823 --> 02:05.990 have our own special ribbon cutting in 02:05.990 --> 02:08.212 true military working dog fashion . The 02:08.212 --> 02:08.100 dog is going to cut the crime scene 02:08.100 --> 02:10.322 tape . Don't lose a finger , don't lose 02:10.322 --> 02:14.199 a hand , but let's do it . Cool to 02:14.199 --> 02:16.880 rock and roll . Oh .
