00:00.000 --> 00:01.240
(truck rumbles)

00:01.240 --> 00:04.080
- We got a call from Cass County Dispatch

00:04.080 --> 00:06.840
about a homeowner needing some sandbags.

00:06.840 --> 00:09.990
We arrived on scene
assessed their situation

00:09.990 --> 00:11.530
noticed that they could
use a couple extra hands,

00:11.530 --> 00:13.310
so we volunteered to help
them fill in their culvert

00:13.310 --> 00:15.090
and get their water
situation under control.

00:15.090 --> 00:17.360
- [Homeowner] Next thing I
know I've got the Army Guard

00:17.360 --> 00:19.793
here which was a life saver.

00:20.795 --> 00:23.420
I feel very blessed that
we have them so close

00:23.420 --> 00:26.480
and I think with their
help we're gonna get

00:26.480 --> 00:28.507
this thing under control.

00:28.507 --> 00:30.150
- [National Guardsman] We were
tasked out by the governor

00:30.150 --> 00:34.430
for state active duty to help
out with natural disasters,

00:34.430 --> 00:37.470
assist the community in any way possible,

00:37.470 --> 00:41.270
prioritizing, protection
of property and people.

00:41.270 --> 00:43.210
- National Guard thank you so much

00:43.210 --> 00:45.730
they were ready to just jump in and help.

00:45.730 --> 00:48.710
I was kind of like no I think we're okay

00:48.710 --> 00:51.300
and well were here and
I'm like dang strait!

00:51.300 --> 00:54.730
Use 'em yes absolutely amazing

00:54.730 --> 00:56.105
thank you, thank you, thank you!

00:56.105 --> 00:57.830
- [National Guardsman] Everything
is going absolutely well

00:57.830 --> 01:00.170
my NCO's are on point,
my soldiers are on point

01:00.170 --> 01:01.440
everybody from the 188TH

01:01.440 --> 01:03.890
has great motivation and a great skill set

01:03.890 --> 01:06.030
to get out and get this job completed.

01:06.030 --> 01:08.440
- [Homeowner] I just feel
fortunate that we live in a state

01:08.440 --> 01:11.810
that we have Armed
Forces that are around us

01:11.810 --> 01:12.870
willing to pitch in and help.

01:12.870 --> 01:13.809
- It's been a pretty busy show so far

01:13.809 --> 01:16.560
but we're good to keep going,

01:16.560 --> 01:18.780
joining the military is all
about helping out your community

01:18.780 --> 01:20.680
in whatever way you possibly can?

01:20.680 --> 01:22.510
Everybody has their specific role to play

01:22.510 --> 01:25.803
just trying to help out and
this is what I like doing.
