That's what always gets 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: me is they don't care about what they're going through themselves. 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: But it's their family that they care about. They want 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: to make sure that their kids don't go without, their 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: wife doesn't go without, or whatever it is going on 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: with them. They just want to make sure that their 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: family has a wonderful holiday. And so that's why we 15 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: love these men and women who serve their incredible people, 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: and so that's why we do our Military Christmas Bonus 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: every single year.

So talk to me about Seth your husband. 22 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: Why did you feel that Seth should be nominated for 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: the military Christmas Bonus? 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: Well, I personally think he's the hardest working person I know. 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: He's been in the military maybe for eight years and 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: actually just re enlisted for five. 27 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: And what branches he in. 28 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: He's in the Navy, Okay, yes, yeah, and so he 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: I mean, they sacrifice a lot. He sacrifices so much 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: for our family, from obviously the daily stress of just 31 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: working in the Navy, in the military, and the added 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: Jesse puts on himself to be the best he can 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: be to advance in his career, and it's hard when 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: their way, and so it's kind of numbing the part 35 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: of when he's in the military and the times that 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: he is kept away from being and doing what he 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: loves the most of being the dad. Right, So he 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: loves the family and he has a huge heart. So 39 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: it's it's great to be able to phenomenal.
