00:04.539 --> 00:06.840
When I got home , I decided to email my

00:06.849 --> 00:09.359
neighborhood at sleep more in Decatur ,

00:09.369 --> 00:12.979
Georgia and let them know that um

00:12.989 --> 00:14.933
the Georgia Army National Guard is

00:14.933 --> 00:17.156
doing great in Augusta , but they might

00:17.156 --> 00:18.878
appreciate some protein bars ,

00:18.878 --> 00:21.239
electrolytes , some snacks , some um uh

00:21.250 --> 00:25.010
wet wipes , just um just the basics and

00:25.020 --> 00:27.187
that if they would drop those things ,

00:27.187 --> 00:29.242
if they wanted to contribute just to

00:29.242 --> 00:31.131
drop them off at my house and the

00:31.131 --> 00:33.353
neighborhood bonded um by dropping lots

00:33.353 --> 00:36.590
of uh grocery bags of things off at my

00:36.599 --> 00:38.599
house and I just organized them all

00:38.599 --> 00:40.710
together and drove them to Augusta on

00:40.710 --> 00:42.877
Wednesday morning . Um I'm so happy to

00:42.877 --> 00:44.932
do it and I realized that things are

00:44.932 --> 00:47.043
more important than just what you see

00:47.043 --> 00:49.560
physically . And um and so the morale

00:49.569 --> 00:51.979
boost or just , you know , making sure

00:51.990 --> 00:54.212
that people have what they need and not

00:54.212 --> 00:56.323
having to worry about it when they're

00:56.323 --> 00:58.046
trying to help other people is

00:58.046 --> 00:59.990
important . Ok . So my son is Nick

00:59.990 --> 01:02.212
Petroni , he's been in the Georgia Army

01:02.212 --> 01:04.434
National Guard for a lo it seems like a

01:04.434 --> 01:06.490
long time now . Um and been on three

01:06.490 --> 01:08.546
deployments currently working out of

01:08.546 --> 01:10.657
the army in Augusta , Georgia . And ,

01:10.657 --> 01:13.510
um , I really , um , I'm happy for him .

01:13.519 --> 01:15.430
It's , it's been a good experience .
