<v Speaker 1>California and every one of your supporters and listeners touched

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the whole country. Because I was talking to a lorry

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Or yesterday and he's going home to Missouri and he

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>said to me, I'm gonna get a coat before I

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.679
<v Speaker 1>go home. I said, yeah, I think you've been in

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>San Diego here a little while now, so you need

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to get a coat. Before you go home. But he

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>was excited to see his cousins, his aunt, his grandfather

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>is still alive, and so he honestly is you know,

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>going to touch a lot of people. So not only

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>do we help our warrior, we help the families to

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>understand that these guys are going to get well, they're

<v Speaker 1>gonna get married, they're going to get a house, They're

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be fine. And and this gives a whole lot

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>of people a good sense of Christmas, a good sense

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.800
