00:00.200 --> 00:02.340
- Well, I believe that this
state of emergency duty

00:02.340 --> 00:06.500
is showing how the community and everyone,

00:06.500 --> 00:08.040
all Missourians need to come together

00:08.040 --> 00:09.500
and need to help each other out right now

00:09.500 --> 00:11.370
in a time of crisis.

00:11.370 --> 00:13.010
Currently what we are doing out here,

00:13.010 --> 00:15.240
is we are here assisting
the public school systems

00:15.240 --> 00:16.890
in providing lunches for the children

00:16.890 --> 00:19.110
who are supposed to get free lunches.

00:19.110 --> 00:20.160
We come out here every morning,

00:20.160 --> 00:21.590
we start about zero eight,

00:21.590 --> 00:23.550
the civilian staff is
here a little bit early

00:23.550 --> 00:24.830
because they pre-pack the lunches

00:24.830 --> 00:28.220
and we come out and assist them
in whichever way they need.

00:28.220 --> 00:30.160
Our role is to come out and to assist

00:30.160 --> 00:31.900
and help in any which way we can.

00:31.900 --> 00:35.010
We are not out here to try
to take control of anything,

00:35.010 --> 00:36.550
we are only out here to
provide an extra hand

00:36.550 --> 00:37.840
to the local community

00:37.840 --> 00:40.480
and those that are trying
to provide it as well.

00:40.480 --> 00:41.313
It means a lot.

00:41.313 --> 00:44.140
I grew up not more than a
couple of blocks from here.

00:44.140 --> 00:46.092
I used to have a lot of family
around in this neighborhood

00:46.092 --> 00:47.910
so I love to come out and help people out

00:47.910 --> 00:49.510
no matter what part of the town I'm in.

00:49.510 --> 00:52.200
I love to help and go
back into the community.

00:52.200 --> 00:53.660
I think a lot of people are appreciative

00:53.660 --> 00:55.330
of the actions that we do around here.

00:55.330 --> 00:57.170
A lot of people pull up,
they show a lot of gratitude,

00:57.170 --> 00:59.170
a lot of people just drive
by and honk their horns

00:59.170 --> 01:00.710
and show their appreciation all the time.

01:00.710 --> 01:02.210
So I really think it matters a lot

01:02.210 --> 01:03.188
to a lot of people what we do

01:03.188 --> 01:05.605
