00:14.220 --> 00:16.329
Here at the Cincinnati Reds game for

00:16.329 --> 00:19.809
military appreciation night , the Reds

00:19.809 --> 00:23.489
do this annually to salute our

00:23.489 --> 00:25.489
heroes and our military members who

00:25.489 --> 00:27.433
serve our country . So we're super

00:27.433 --> 00:29.433
excited to be here tonight and have

00:29.433 --> 00:31.489
this partnership with them . Today ,

00:31.489 --> 00:33.211
basically we're just getting a

00:33.211 --> 00:34.600
spotlight with our great

00:34.600 --> 00:36.656
accomplishments in the past year . I

00:36.656 --> 00:38.656
feel like it's extra special for me

00:38.656 --> 00:40.822
since it's my home city , so it's nice

00:40.822 --> 00:42.989
that my family gets to see me and some

00:42.989 --> 00:45.045
of my friends . Get to throw out the

00:45.045 --> 00:47.267
first pitch , so you've been warming up

00:47.267 --> 00:49.156
and ready to go to throw a strike

00:49.156 --> 00:51.322
hopefully . I'm also going to swear in

00:51.322 --> 00:53.433
some of our newest enlistees into the

00:53.433 --> 00:55.656
military , so that's a huge honor to be

00:55.656 --> 00:57.822
able to do that and really showcase to

00:57.822 --> 00:59.990
the fans you know the commitment that

00:59.990 --> 01:03.770
these folks are making their lives . to

01:03.770 --> 01:05.826
me it's just everything , you know ,

01:05.826 --> 01:07.937
it's awesome . I always love going to

01:07.937 --> 01:09.992
Reds games here and then something I

01:09.992 --> 01:09.459
want to do my whole life , you know ,

01:09.650 --> 01:11.872
Air Force , and so it's just gonna be a

01:11.872 --> 01:14.050
great opportunity . I think it's going

01:14.050 --> 01:16.106
to be something they'll remember for

01:16.106 --> 01:18.161
the rest of their lives and so to be

01:18.161 --> 01:20.272
able to have that key element of that

01:20.272 --> 01:22.383
memory is fantastic , and I really do

01:22.383 --> 01:24.383
just wish them all the best as they

01:24.383 --> 01:24.449
step on this journey .
