 Hello everyone, it's Vinicia, your Community Outreach Specialist, and today I am here in Brandon with Ashley. She's off to the side. And we are out at the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and we are going to be talking to the Director of Operations, I believe, just to talk about the importance of this foundation, their role in the community, how we can help and do our parts, and how they're a partner with PSO. So stay tuned, let's see what we can get into, and it's gonna be a good day! It was metal with the Air Force Cross that operated. He and his family are the reason that I became. This is where all the magic happens. What happens here? This is how we communicate with our donors. Boom. This room. This is the vehicle for it. This room. Mr. Sonny Gonzalez, our Director of Administration. Hello. Right here. This is Ashley. Hi, you're the Army's First Sergeant. Good, welcome. You've worked here what now, going on your third year? Well, no. Third year? No. Third year? 20. 20? Yeah. Oh my God. August this year, I'll have 20 years. Congratulations. And you did how many years in the military? 22. 22 years in the military, 20 years here. And 20 here. That's it. I'm almost out of here too. I'm almost out of here too. Yes. What's up? What's up? Tire General. Major General Clay Hublocker. He just got out of the tire at the SOCOM as the President in September. Jesus. Yeah, they're all those clothes. Oh my goodness. Is that a Cleveland pin? Or? This is the supported effort. Mm-hmm. Everything we do is because of these people in this room. Mm-hmm. They're the ones that ensure that our kids get through school, get through preschool, talk to the families. It's pretty wonderful to hear these ladies here on a daily basis, talking to kids, talking them off the wall, tell them it's going to be all right, getting their scholarships, taking care of getting their budgets taken care of. But this is where it truly happened. The whole reason we exist is because of this room because these ladies in here make sure that our kids get into school, graduate school, get introduced to corporations, get introduced to individuals so they can go become productive members of society. I love it. Everyone, I am with Cal if you hadn't seen him because I can totally hide his size. Who's the Director of Operations for these Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Say hello to our YouTube fam. Hello, YouTube. Boom. So tell us what is the Special Ops Warrior Foundation? Boom. So the Special Operations Warrior Foundation is one of the greatest foundations we support. America has been a women that serve under Special Operations Command, 70,000 service members that support our nation's freedom. And we take care of their children. If anything happens to them and we support our wounded and their families. How do you take care of them? What exactly is your main focus when it comes to this foundation? Well unfortunately it's the education of the children of the fallen. So if one of our Special Operations service members is in a line of duty death, anything from suicide to combat death, their surviving children will make sure we take care of them and we start that with preschool, we start that with tutoring and counseling all the way through the graduation of college. And then I've heard that even once they graduate you guys are still involved, you know, just tap out at that point. Yeah, they become part of our family. We want to make sure that they're doing well, that they're productive members of society. We have great counselors on staff that help take care of them and they become a family member of the Special Operations Warriors Foundation just like everyone networks here is. I love that. How can the community help? Our followers are always looking, they're giving, they're great, they're absolutely incredible, not just in Pasco, all over guys. How can they help you guys help our kids? That's easy. Man, we can't thank Sheriff Nako and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office enough for what he does and what you all do to support us. The shotgun shootout is just an amazing, amazing event that we are part of. And we've grown a real good friendship and trust with the Pasco Sheriff's Office. I think the patch says that we fight as one and because we fight as one, we're one team, we survive together. So if the community wants to get involved, just go to our website. And I will put that in the link below and right here guys, like I always do, to make sure that you know where to go. So is there anything else that you think the people need to know? I just want to say thank you to everybody out there that supports our men and women in service. Exactly, and thank you to everyone that is serving too.
