 What in the world are we doing out here? Well, today is, it's actually tomorrow. We're celebrating the National Guard birthday, 386 years since the first muster in the Massachusetts Bay Colony on the East Coast. We saw a need to be able to raise a militia at a moment's notice, and that's what they did, the first muster in Massachusetts Bay Colony. 386 years ago, and a lot of the principles stand true today. So we have citizens, soldiers, and airmen ready at a moment's notice to come to the defense of their state and nation, and or help with anything that should arise. And so what we're doing today is celebrating that with a ruck, march, walk, run. Another thing that this does is it gets us outside. We're starting to get into winter, coming up on Christmas, but with snow on the ground and the weather cold, that's a great way to get out, socialize with the folks here in Madison, and just have a great time, a fellowship, and getting a little exercise in, getting that physical pillar of comprehensive health and wellness. To me, being in the National Guard is mean service, service to my community, to my family, to my country, to my state. It's all about service. And one of the things if you look around here, it's service to each other. One of the things we talk about in the military is that we are prepared to sacrifice and give our service not just for those bigger picture items, but it's for each other. It's the bonds that we build personally with each other that really punctuate the need for service. Happy birthday, National Guard. And it really wouldn't be a birthday, would it, without a cake. So if you're ever wondering if you wanna join us here for one of these fun, run, walk, rock marches, we almost always end on the drill floor with a cake. Happy birthday, National Guard. Take out.
