00:03.110 --> 00:04.440
- Greetings, Barnstormers.

00:04.440 --> 00:05.420
Good morning.

00:05.420 --> 00:07.950
We're living in a challenging era.

00:07.950 --> 00:10.660
The COVID-19 pandemic
has impacted the world

00:10.660 --> 00:12.840
in a myriad of different ways.

00:12.840 --> 00:15.320
In America many have
described this pandemic

00:15.320 --> 00:18.240
as a unprecedented, as essential workers

00:18.240 --> 00:20.460
diligently serve those that have been

00:20.460 --> 00:23.900
profoundly impacted by this pandemic.

00:23.900 --> 00:25.840
Also, as many of you may already be aware,

00:25.840 --> 00:27.160
many of our brothers and sisters

00:27.160 --> 00:29.260
have been dispatched to different parts

00:29.260 --> 00:32.640
of the United States to
serve communities and cities.

00:32.640 --> 00:36.350
We are ushered truly
into a new life rhythm

00:36.350 --> 00:37.820
and a new life situation,

00:37.820 --> 00:39.197
and many of us are wondering,

00:39.197 --> 00:40.920
"What does the future hold?"

00:40.920 --> 00:43.600
I'm here to remind you of the single word,

00:43.600 --> 00:45.390
and that's "resiliency."

00:45.390 --> 00:48.170
As Airmen, we are called upon

00:48.170 --> 00:50.500
to both embody and exhibit

00:50.500 --> 00:53.100
what it really means to be resilient.

00:53.100 --> 00:54.940
I love this definition of resiliency,

00:54.940 --> 00:57.417
which says, "resilience is a quality

00:57.417 --> 01:00.697
"of being able to adapt
to stressful life changes

01:00.697 --> 01:03.460
"and bounce back from hardship."

01:03.460 --> 01:05.750
Don't forget what the
layers of resiliency are,

01:05.750 --> 01:06.890
according to the Air Force.

01:06.890 --> 01:10.410
They include social and family, physical,

01:10.410 --> 01:13.660
mental and emotional, and spiritual.

01:13.660 --> 01:15.840
At the 104th, please reach out to me,

01:15.840 --> 01:17.530
Chaplain TraVorus Weaver.

01:17.530 --> 01:18.730
I'd love to be a resource.

01:18.730 --> 01:20.470
I'd love to encourage you.

01:20.470 --> 01:23.600
My number is 978-227-6502.

01:23.600 --> 01:25.720
Feel free to call or text.

01:25.720 --> 01:26.580
I'm here to serve you.

01:26.580 --> 01:30.330
Lisa Potito, at the 104th,
the Family Readiness Center,

01:30.330 --> 01:32.370
is a terrific resource as well.

01:32.370 --> 01:34.120
We can do it, Barnstormers.

01:34.120 --> 01:36.630
Let's go and serve both God and country.

01:36.630 --> 01:37.720
- Hello, Barnstormers.

01:42.650 --> 01:44.683

01:45.640 --> 01:47.630
I want you to know that I am also here

01:47.630 --> 01:49.530

01:53.670 --> 01:55.130

01:55.130 --> 01:57.620
and if you're having a lot of anxiety,

01:57.620 --> 01:59.730

01:59.730 --> 02:01.970
I can help with any of those things.

02:01.970 --> 02:04.620
There are a lot of resources
available to you right now,

02:04.620 --> 02:07.640
and I wanna encourage you to utilize them.

02:07.640 --> 02:09.870
If you need anything specific,

02:09.870 --> 02:12.910
I'm also happy to pass that along to you.

02:12.910 --> 02:14.780
And if you just wanna call and vent

02:14.780 --> 02:16.380
and talk about anything,

02:16.380 --> 02:18.900
we can do that through Zoom calls,

02:18.900 --> 02:21.840
face-to-face, emailing, texting,

02:21.840 --> 02:23.720
or just a regular phone call.

02:23.720 --> 02:25.830
So, know that I'm here for you.

02:25.830 --> 02:28.120
Please stay connected with each other

02:28.120 --> 02:29.930
and let me know if
there's anything I can do

02:29.930 --> 02:32.550
to help support you and the 104th.

Thank you.
