Tint , shield of victory . I'd like to

00:03.509 --> 00:05.731
take a moment to talk to you about army

00:05.731 --> 00:08.630
emergency relief . Last week we kicked

00:08.630 --> 00:11.630
off our annual campaign . It is

00:11.630 --> 00:14.390
extremely important for soldiers to be

00:14.390 --> 00:16.790
aware of what army emergency relief can

00:16.790 --> 00:19.729
do for them . And how much of a help it

00:19.729 --> 00:23.090
is to our soldiers . Last year in 2024 ,

00:23.620 --> 00:27.569
over $200,000 was donated to soldiers

00:27.569 --> 00:30.000
in the Ansbach community , and nearly

00:30.000 --> 00:33.580
$94,000 was donated to soldiers in the

00:33.580 --> 00:35.979
Ryland Falls community . I have seen

00:35.979 --> 00:39.255
over . years how this money directly

00:39.255 --> 00:41.311
benefits soldiers when they're going

00:41.311 --> 00:43.311
through the most difficult and hard

00:43.311 --> 00:45.685
times . I ask that each one of you

00:46.375 --> 00:48.319
consider giving whatever amount of

00:48.319 --> 00:50.208
money you can , whatever you feel

00:50.208 --> 00:52.153
comfortable with , to AER . It's a

00:52.153 --> 00:54.264
great program and it really does help

00:54.264 --> 00:54.555
soldiers out .
