But that 46 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.960 is the beauty of what the Help Squad does. Individuals 47 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.599 that have true needs, they vet them and they make 48 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.120 sure that they get what they need.

I met a veteran at a 80 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.879 blood drive and we talked and talked and talked, and 81 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.280 at the end of the donation, he just said, or 82 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.639 I'd said, my eight year old son would have loved 83 00:03:58.639 --> 00:03:59.960 to have listened to every one of your story. 84 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.080 I hope I can remember them. 85 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:02.599 And he said, you have an eight year old that 86 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.360 loves a military and likes learning about it, and I 87 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.639 said I do, and he said, well, look up to 88 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.360 young Marines. And so when I got home, I did 89 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.360 look up the and my son at the time was eight, 90 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.039 my daughter was ten, and then the following spring they 91 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.199 both joined the program. 92 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.279 Her not so willing. 93 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.800 Literally ask you that is was this their idea? 94 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:23.240 Oh? 95 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.199 My son, yes, he was in before when he heard 96 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.519 the name. He didn't even need to research it. I 97 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.959 you know, I attended they would open houses with him. 98 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.439 And my daughter went to and she had no desire, 99 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.879 and then there was a parent there that talked her 100 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.279 into it. Said, you know, do you enjoy school and 101 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.199 she said, I like learning, I don't really enjoy school. 102 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.439 And he said are the kids immature and she said yes, 103 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.879 and he said come here, you're gonna love these kids here. 104 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.720 You'll make friends here. And that was it for her. 105 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.560 Oh that's awesome, because I remember when I was signed 106 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.560 up to join the Marlins and over my objections. It's 107 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.560 like I didn't want to do it, but I, you know, 108 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.000 I woke up and after three plus years and then 109 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.279 a better person is a consequence of dealing with it. 110 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.279 And going through it. So there's a lot to be 111 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.279 said about that. And thanks for good parents like you 112 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.839 who will insist that their children pursue these ventures, because 113 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.240 I know your daughter ended up doing phenomenally well. 114 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:14.800 She did. 115 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.800 She graduated from her recruit training as the honor grad 116 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.079 and you know, to the chagrin of her brother, right 117 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.160 who was you know, this was his thing.

Now, 195 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.240 what drew you to want to become a Young Marine? 196 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.240 Well, I've always had a passion for the military, ever 197 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.600 since I was a child, before I can remember, I've 198 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.960 wanted to join the military, even before I knew it 199 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.799 was separated into different branches, and my school teacher, Miss Claire, 200 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.240 and a USO officer actually mss MS. They introduced me 201 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.639 to this program because they knew of my passion, and 202 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.320 immediately I wanted to join because this seemed like the 203 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.480 greatest opportunity and greatest challenge that I could face. 204 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.320 Now, what inspired you to want to? I mean, Eddie, 205 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.320 that young of an age to want to become a 206 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.600 member of American Armed Forces? Did you like like I 207 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.759 grew up? Here's my story, and I always say out 208 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.039 loud one of the reasons I supported veterans and veterans 209 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.000 causes and the military generally speaking, is because I didn't 210 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.720 sign up. I did not enlist. But I was inspired 211 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.320 by old World War two movies with John Wayne, you know. 212 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.960 I mean like sands of Ewu Jima, for example. And 213 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.480 Lynn Arnold's daughter brought me back some sand from Ewo Gma, 214 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.679 which I still have on my dress or I see 215 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.519 it every day and I think of her every day. Lynn, 216 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.840 by the way, but that that was inspiring to me. Now, 217 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:06.440 you're a lot younger than me, So what inspired you? 218 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:06.600 You know? 219 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.080 I get asked that question a lot of that, and 220 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.840 part of the reason was three of my grandparents were 221 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.159 in the military, and I just grew up with them, 222 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.600 seeing them and the respec they have for our nation 223 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.840 and what they did to make our nation what it is, 224 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.919 and then hearing from my parents of how proud they 225 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.320 are of our country, I just knew I wanted to 226 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.919 do that. I wanted to help our country be the 227 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:27.320 free place that it is today. 228 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.799 That is so awesome to hear. And when you were 229 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.879 saying that, and you know, I grew up in a 230 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.120 similar environment. My parents very patriotic, and I think that's 231 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:41.159 where my patriotism comes from. I understand the gift that 232 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.879 we were born with since we were here in the 233 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.960 United States of freedom, the idea and the concept of freedom. 234 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.679 I just it is everything that is me and my being. 235 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.559 But I was brought up in that environment as well. 236 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.279 And when you were saying that, I was thinking of 237 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:59.240 all the people who are or brought up in sort 238 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.759 of a hate eight full anti American. American is bad 239 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.679 and evil for all these you know in the list 240 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.879 of reasons, what a contrast that must be, and how 241 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:10.799 that person is not going to be raised in an 242 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.720 environment where they have any respect for their country. 243 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.759 It's a shame it's a shame, and I know many 244 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.799 classmates who are brought up in that environment. I feel sad, honestly, 245 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.919 because I am proud of my country, and we should 246 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.600 all be proud of our country because we are at 247 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.960 the forefront of freedom in the world and uphold the 248 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.559 values that are important to us. 249 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.120 Yeah, people can look at us from Afar and say, gosh, 250 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.440 they're allowed to speak their mind. Gosh, they are allowed 251 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.399 to pursue whatever interest they want to pursue. Gosh, just 252 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:46.679 you know, no wealth redistribution, well some anyway. But I 253 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:51.200 get the website again, it's NKY Young Marines dot Com. 254 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.960 You got a young person in your family, you got 255 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.440 to get them hooked up with this organization. Now, tell 256 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.320 me about a day in the life of a Northern 257 00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.720 Kentucky Young Marine. What does it involve. I know it's 258 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.679 a whole bunch of different things that you learn and 259 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.480 the exercises you go through. But tell me about it. 260 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:06.000 What's why. 261 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.960 Well, when you first join the program, you're not allowed 262 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.879 to just join. You have to be taught how to 263 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.879 wear the uniform properly, taught how to be an ambassador 264 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.159 of the Young Marines program. So all the kids who 265 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.600 join our program have to go through recruit training, which 266 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.279 is six to seven Saturdays and one overnight where they 267 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.919 learn how to be a young marine. 268 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.200 After that, we have drills and events. 269 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.919 We have drills every other Saturday, which are around seven hours, 270 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.200 so it's basically another school day where we teach them 271 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.519 classes on life skills, public speaking, first aid, field skills, 272 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.759 closer to drill, the marching you see in some of 273 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:42.639 those movies, PT Physical fitness, and living a healthy drug 274 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:43.919 free lifestyle. 275 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.360 WHOA in Military American history, in military American history, and chivalry, 276 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.840 and all of this is taught by our young Marines. 277 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.879 We do have guest speakers that come in, but all 278 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.600 of our young Marines are told to teach classes on 279 00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.919 topics that they want to teach about within our unit. 280 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.279 Oh that's cool, well, and that's I guess where your 281 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.679 public speaking sitills come from. Because you're teaching the other 282 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.080 young marines. You got to stand up in front of 283 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.960 the room and talk. That's awesome, Yes, sir, now you 284 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.200 on that topic alone. And you know, I get invited 285 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.960 to speak at events from time to time and I 286 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.399 don't have any problem doing it, and I don't struggle, 287 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.679 and I used to struggle with nervousness or you know why, 288 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:21.240 and I always keep it in the back of my mind. 289 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.279 No one wants to be up in the front of 290 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.679 the room usually, you know, like I don't want to 291 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.000 do that and Ie, so you're like, you know what, 292 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.679 since it doesn't bother me, I'll fall on the sword. 293 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.639 I'll take the challenge. But you seem really enthused about speaking, 294 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.200 and does it bother you at all to do public speaking? 295 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.840 It did when I first joined this program. I hated 296 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.600 speaking in public, even to my friends. Sometimes I don't 297 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.639 want to talk to you. But after experiencing so much 298 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.120 of this program and learning how to talk publicly and 299 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.879 learning how to be confident when we're speaking, it's so 300 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.559 much easier now, And especially when I'm talking about being Marines. 301 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.960 It's easy to be passionate about it because it's changed 302 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:57.440 my life. 303 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:01.919 And you know, I know this is radio, but if 304 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.799 you could see the inspired look on Abby's face, I 305 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.720 mean this, this message comes across just absolutely loud and clear. 306 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.159 She is just really, really, really a devotet and a 307 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:16.879 believer in what she's doing with the young Marines. Is 308 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.080 it Are there any of the like for example, the 309 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.440 PT is even difficult, means it hard to consider it work, like, 310 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.960 oh jeez, it's a push up day or something like that. 311 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.039 We do not have specific days push ups. 312 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.679 But yes, it is. 313 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.320 A challenge, especially when you're younger and you're working through 314 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.480 the ranks and getting your sign offs. It is like 315 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.600 another school day where you have to put in the effort. 316 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.360 And there are some days where I'm like, wow, this 317 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.000 is a struggle, but it's always an opportunity to improve. 318 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.399 And I just look back and I see all those 319 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.720 days where I struggled have made me the person I am. 320 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.600 And I hope the young marines in our units see 321 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.519 that that these struggles are making them better as people. 322 00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.840 Well. And I suppose, like you had Lynn with your 323 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:02.519 children and the sibling right that you're inspired by your 324 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.720 fellow young marine. So maybe you're not feeling quite up 325 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.759 to the challenge that given day, but if you look 326 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.200 around you, then you do step up and uh and 327 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.399 and meet the demands of whatever it is you're going 328 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:14.919 through that day. 329 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.480 Yes, sir, we do consider ourselves a family. I see 330 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.279 these kids almost every day, sometimes in the summer at 331 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.320 the events we go to, and you learn so much 332 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.879 about them and without this program, I wouldn't have met 333 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:27.960 my young Marine's family. 334 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:29.399 So I'll be forever grateful for that. 335 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.960 Like sort of like a fraternity or sorority, you know, 336 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.600 band of comrades are was it easy to make friends 337 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:42.679 with them? A little hesitation there. 338 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:43.799 She didn't speak at first. 339 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.960 I saw her and she was contemplating that question. 340 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.879 When I first joined, sir, I was really shy and introverted. 341 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.240 I know that's a word that's thrown around a lot, 342 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.120 but really it was hard for me to make friends 343 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.320 these people who I saw as idols. They were higher 344 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.159 up in the program and me just joining. I'm like, wow, 345 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.000 how could I ever be like them? But I had 346 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.320 my recruit training, I had my friends who were all 347 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.480 working towards the same goal, and they pushed me to 348 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.559 do better. And yes, I did become friends with all 349 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:13.919 of them. 350 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.039 What an inspiration you are.

She is just an absolutely 361 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.159 amazing lady. And know I want to discount doctor fred 362 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.200 Pack because he is just a literal genius. But for 363 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.120 a lot of people out there, I don't understand not 364 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.879 liking to go to the dentist because I love going 365 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:56.279 to the dentist because every time I come out of 366 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.480 the dentist's office, you know, I feel refreshed, my teeth 367 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:00.480 are clean, I feel confident. I was a good bill 368 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.200 of health, and I'm proud of that. But if you're 369 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:04.920 one of those folks that doesn't like going to the dentist, 370 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.559 you need to get in the chair of doctor Meghan Frue. 371 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.240 She is an absolute breath of fresh air, friendly, charming, 372 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.720 easy on the eyes.

That's because he has met 383 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.200 that level of standard that the Fellowship requires, because he 384 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:47.960 is a genius when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, life changing, exceptional, 385 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.240 transformative cosmetic dentistry.
