You guys, we have one more bell ringer that I'm
going to introduce to you. To you, she she is
a new friend, but like an old soul like I
feel when I'm around her.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I've known her forever. She is so precious.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
And I roped her in and she is, uh, she's
pretty cool. So she serves as district aid to state
Representative Robert Bracket. She serves on Grant's subcommittee for the
Children's Services Advisory Council, and works closely with the Mentally
Mental Health Association.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
She also sits on.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
The board of the tax Payers Association. Everybody stand up
straight around her. When she's not working, you can catch
her running five k's or half marathons. Please welcome, Susan Naguire.
Speaker 10 (05:33):
Okay, how are you guys for having me?
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Yes, I'm kind of surprised you didn't run here, and
you're cutely SunFlake.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
This a run you know I had you know, yeah, yeah, okay, Sunflowers,
It's fine whatever.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
So okay, So now I have been beal bringing for years.
Robert's been one one of my top bell ringers. So
I kind of brought you in as a rookie this year. Okay,
So you were so grave to just jump right in.
You said yes before you really knew what you were doing.
So I appreciate that enthusiasm.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So First of all, I'm going to ask both.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Of you, you each get like thirty seconds. Why did
you say yes to the Battle of the Bells?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Robert go I said yes to the Battle of the
Bells is because I had missed the opportunity in the
previous year, and I've enjoyed it so much over the
years that I look forward to it. And when you
said that you were going to be participating this year,
I'm gun ho you point, I'll go there. I'll do
it anything because I love what you do, and you
(06:40):
pull everybody together this in the UNI, orchestrate everything so well.
So thank you for that because it makes you stop
and reflect and gives me moments to say, you know,
there's a lot to be grateful for. Other people have
needs and giving backs important, so it gives me an
opportunity to fulfill that open part of what I have
in my life.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I love that Susan Battle of the Bells.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
I know, honestly part of it was you. I love
what you do in our community, I really do. I
love that you do orchestrate everything, organize everything's great. But
as a committee member with SEASAG, I saw for firsthand,
you know what soft Asian Armory does. I've always just
known them for bell ringing, and then when I realized
how robust those programs really are and how they serve
(07:24):
the community, you know, it's almost like the low silent
underdog doing such good work. And you know that public
service is really important. So I love nonprofit I love
what they do and when their boots on the ground
like that. Even a dollar is something that is remarkable
and helps, and it goes a long way in our community,
especially because a dollars stay here.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
So I really appreciate that, and I appreciate you saying that,
Susan and Robert, I know you would agree. You know,
anybody can make a difference in this campaign.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
A dollar truly does make a difference.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
You don't need to write a check for a million dollars,
not even one hundred dollars, thank you, Tracy, But I
mean even a quarter, even your your spare change for
that ice cream sandwich you were going to get at school,
like it does make a difference. And I think that
allows people, anybody to jump on board and feel like
they can make change. Literally absol So let me jump
to major Major Phillips. So you're here representing obviously the
(08:16):
Salvation Army.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Love love, love the Salvation Army. My mom was, uh
was gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Is there major? Is there a captain? Okay? And she
was one of those in the Salvation Army. Holds a
dear place to me.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
We've always you know, volunteered and supported them as a
family growing up. And I love the story of how
the kettle got started. And so many people hear the
bell ring every year and and I want them to
understand where this came from, where the kettle got started,
And then I want you to share what it means to.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Our community when people donate to the kettle.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sure, and the story of the origin of the kettle
is quite distinctive. It started back in eighteen ninety one
with an officer who was a captain, Captain Joseph McPhee,
and he was in San Francisco, California, and he was
originally from Liverpool, England, and where he came from, there
was something called a Simpson pot they would do to
(09:21):
help feed people during times of distress. And he remembered
that from his childhood when he was stationed in San Francisco,
and along came this Christmas season and he had about
a thousand people that he wanted to be able to feed,
and he harkened back to that time in his youth
in Liverpool and said, let me try that here. So
(09:42):
he found a what's called the crab pot and he
set it up right on the wharf and he made
a just a little hand painted sign on the moment
it said keep the pot boiling, which you know, that
might seem like an archaic phrase to us, but everybody
knew exactly what it meant and what he was out
there to do, and it was a a huge success.
He was able to do exactly what he set out
(10:03):
to do. And then that campaign, that approach of getting
the public involved is putting it before people and letting
their hearts do the rest, started spreading first to other
seaside type towns because that was the natural extension, and
then it just kept rolling on from there. I always
look at it as when people go out and ring
the bell, that's their opportunity to step right into like
(10:26):
a Norman Rockwell moment. It's a piece of Americana that
you're continuing and taking part of and incorporating into yourself,
into your family, into your children, and particularly here in Vero.
It's one volunteer and just that stunned me when I
got here that there is so much volunteer enthusiasm in
(10:47):
this community. You guys are rocking it and I just
want you all know that.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Thank you Major. That is so sweet.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
So you know, there are so many organizations in this town.
We are very philanthropic in this community. What does Salvation
Army do with the money raised here? And does it
stay in Indian River County? And then what does it
go towards?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Sure all the money stays here. We don't send it
off to help somebody else somewhere else. It's it's all
designated for this area. And every command you go, every
place the Salvation Army goes, it functions tailored to the community.
So the services that we have here are dictated by
the community and what they feel is a priority. We
(11:29):
partner with several churches currently to do on site feedings
three times a week. We operate a pantry which serves
countless especially right now with the food and security issues
that we've had, the demand for our pantry services have
just has shot through the roof. And I'm happy to
(11:49):
say that we've had all the support we needed not
to miss a beat. Everybody that comes to get help
has been able to receive help. And that's not good
on us. That's good on you.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh that's amazing. I know it's all we want to
support you, but we don't. In other words, you know,
we know that it's.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Going towards people that truly need help, and we wish,
you know that that wasn't the case, you know, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So I'm going to change gears.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Major.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
I'm going to go back to Robert and Susan and
you know, Robert, when I had Salvation Army on the
show probably five or six years ago, it was my
first time having them on to promote bell ringing, and
I was so inspired at the end of the show
that that's how our bell ringing group got started, because
I thought, you know what, why not put you know,
our money where our mouth is.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Why not go out there and be bell ringers.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
But before I bell rang I will be honest, and
I'm embarrassed to say this, Major, but I would kind
of shy away from the bell ringers.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I'm like, oh my gosh, there.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
They are again, there, you know, And I'm so sorry
because I'm very much I give to the community. But
you know, after a while, when you've been to publics
five times during the weekend, you have five rings, you know.
But now I will put it. I don't care how
much cash and if I've already donated a dollar or.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Two or are I'd sit next to the person and say,
let's talk.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I do, I say hello and I say thank you.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Robert, what was your perception before bell ringing and after
bell ringing?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Before bell ringing, I you know, in younger days, I
really didn't understand the Salvation Army and where the where
the proceeds went and what what type of charitable or
what type of background the whole Salvation Army was geared around.
It got a little bit of an education over the years, uh,
with volunteerism and how that how that works, and realized
(13:35):
how significant an impact that the Salvation Army does make
in a lot of communities, not just ours, but all
across the country. So that being said, it was uh,
you know, just when I knew what it was. And
then Sidney, the way you put it together was fantastic.
Siddy would get primo location in front of Publix, which
(13:55):
is centrally located between the beach and the mainland and everything,
so you get a lot of traffic. And Cindy always
put Mike and I at high noon. Oh yeah, during
lunch it has to be bell ringing. But Cindy would
get there in the morning and have a table and
this you have volunteers from the high school. They'd be
playing music and every hour there's rotation. A team of
(14:15):
people would come in and kick the bucket off.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It was fun.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
I thought, it's great, and it's I love, you know,
being a socially adapt person.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Ha.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Anyways, I like going out in front of the store
and meeting all these people because it's great. You get
to dress up, you have fun, and people want to give.
They are just nervous because they just didn't really know
what's all about. But engaging with them as they're walking
in and walking out, all of a sudden, you can
extract from people, not their money, but you can extract
what their real heart felt strings are. And next thing
(14:48):
you know, they're walking away and they're feeling great about
themselves as well as you are.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, it's fantastic. I love that. I love that. Robert.
You know, Susan, so we brought you in.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
You're a rookie, and so you had a week to
you know, raise the money, and I love there's a
picture of you and I'm not sure where you are.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's like a cafe.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Yeah, tell us maybe what it meant to you to
ring the bell and to get collections in your cattle?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
What did that feel like? And how was the response?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
You know? So it was cute because I went in there,
so shout out to Beebs Bebs Coffee shop. It's a
homegrown Sebastian rosery and a good friend of mine, Robert.
He's just a great, great pillar in the Sebastian area
bringing coffee back to life. And I go there all
the time. I went in there and I said, hey,
(15:38):
I'm like, I'm ringing the bell. He goes get out.
He's like, what else are you? I mean, I don't
know actually, and it's totally fine. I'm like, ignorance is great.
I'm like, give you a coffee and I'll tell you
exactly what I'm doing and maybe it'll make sense after coffee.
And he's like, all right, all right, I'm like put
some cash in there. I'm like, you know, this is
what we're doing. But previously you slated that you know,
(15:59):
you ask, you know, like what was the perception of
ringing that bell? And I remember going up in New
York City and Christmas was so magical, and part of
that magic was the bell ringers. And I remember very
very vividly that all of the bell ringers were older.
It was like Grandma and Grandpa was like mister and
missus Claus.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
So it was like they're always so cute and so steet.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
And I never really understood what the mission and vision was,
but I always knew that I wanted to as a kid,
to put a dollar in or some coins in there.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I loved.
Speaker 10 (16:28):
I remember just loving the sound of the coins dropping
at the bottom of the tin. And I just remember
those moments. But then I, you know, I got older,
and you know, life happened right, and I knew a
lot of struggling moms and Salvation Army came in clutch
with their food where they're clothing. And then I became
(16:51):
a Salvation Army mom at one point because I was
such a young mom, and somebody redirected me there because
one year my car guart broken into and all my
stuff was in there at the time, so everything got
stole in my wallet everything, and I had no Christmas,
Like that was my Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So Salvation Army gives me chill.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
So some one of my girlfriends came in and she's like, hey,
this is what they do. Hurry up and go there.
And I happened to know the like sweet little lady,
I'll never forget her. She was in there and she's like,
what are you doing here now? And I was like,
oh my god, I gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So I tell her.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
And they just wrapped my kids up with so much
love and they didn't even tell them that it was
Salvation Army. They gave me the gifts. I got to
wrap it and put it under the tree and they
didn't even know. It was the sweetest thing ever. So
I'm very grateful for that. And so that was the perception.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Absolutely, thank you.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Yeah, I did not know the story, you guys, So
that is precious.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, it was so precious. Wow, And it's funny.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
That was one of the things I was going to
ask Major is to give us a story of a real,
uh you know, situation where somebody got helped and wow, there.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You are right there. Major.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
We're going to go to a break and we are
going to find out they're going to count the kettles
and they're going to We're going to find out who.

You guys, we have one more bell ringer that I'm
going to introduce to you. To you, she she is
a new friend, but like an old soul like I
feel when I'm around her.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I've known her forever. She is so precious.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
And I roped her in and she is, uh, she's
pretty cool. So she serves as district aid to state
Representative Robert Bracket. She serves on Grant's subcommittee for the
Children's Services Advisory Council, and works closely with the Mentally
Mental Health Association.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
She also sits on.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
The board of the tax Payers Association. Everybody stand up
straight around her. When she's not working, you can catch
her running five k's or half marathons. Please welcome, Susan Naguire.
Speaker 10 (05:33):
Okay, how are you guys for having me?
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Yes, I'm kind of surprised you didn't run here, and
you're cutely SunFlake.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
This a run you know I had you know, yeah, yeah, okay, Sunflowers,
It's fine whatever.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
So okay, So now I have been beal bringing for years.
Robert's been one one of my top bell ringers. So
I kind of brought you in as a rookie this year. Okay,
So you were so grave to just jump right in.
You said yes before you really knew what you were doing.
So I appreciate that enthusiasm.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So First of all, I'm going to ask both.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Of you, you each get like thirty seconds. Why did
you say yes to the Battle of the Bells?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Robert go I said yes to the Battle of the
Bells is because I had missed the opportunity in the
previous year, and I've enjoyed it so much over the
years that I look forward to it. And when you
said that you were going to be participating this year,
I'm gun ho you point, I'll go there. I'll do
it anything because I love what you do, and you
(06:40):
pull everybody together this in the UNI, orchestrate everything so well.
So thank you for that because it makes you stop
and reflect and gives me moments to say, you know,
there's a lot to be grateful for. Other people have
needs and giving backs important, so it gives me an
opportunity to fulfill that open part of what I have
in my life.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I love that Susan Battle of the Bells.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
I know, honestly part of it was you. I love
what you do in our community, I really do. I
love that you do orchestrate everything, organize everything's great. But
as a committee member with SEASAG, I saw for firsthand,
you know what soft Asian Armory does. I've always just
known them for bell ringing, and then when I realized
how robust those programs really are and how they serve
(07:24):
the community, you know, it's almost like the low silent
underdog doing such good work. And you know that public
service is really important. So I love nonprofit I love
what they do and when their boots on the ground
like that. Even a dollar is something that is remarkable
and helps, and it goes a long way in our community,
especially because a dollars stay here.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
So I really appreciate that, and I appreciate you saying that,
Susan and Robert, I know you would agree. You know,
anybody can make a difference in this campaign.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
A dollar truly does make a difference.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
You don't need to write a check for a million dollars,
not even one hundred dollars, thank you, Tracy, But I
mean even a quarter, even your your spare change for
that ice cream sandwich you were going to get at school,
like it does make a difference. And I think that
allows people, anybody to jump on board and feel like
they can make change. Literally absol So let me jump
to major Major Phillips. So you're here representing obviously the
(08:16):
Salvation Army.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Love love, love the Salvation Army. My mom was, uh
was gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Is there major? Is there a captain? Okay? And she
was one of those in the Salvation Army. Holds a
dear place to me.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
We've always you know, volunteered and supported them as a
family growing up. And I love the story of how
the kettle got started. And so many people hear the
bell ring every year and and I want them to
understand where this came from, where the kettle got started,
And then I want you to share what it means to.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Our community when people donate to the kettle.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sure, and the story of the origin of the kettle
is quite distinctive. It started back in eighteen ninety one
with an officer who was a captain, Captain Joseph McPhee,
and he was in San Francisco, California, and he was
originally from Liverpool, England, and where he came from, there
was something called a Simpson pot they would do to
(09:21):
help feed people during times of distress. And he remembered
that from his childhood when he was stationed in San Francisco,
and along came this Christmas season and he had about
a thousand people that he wanted to be able to feed,
and he harkened back to that time in his youth
in Liverpool and said, let me try that here. So
(09:42):
he found a what's called the crab pot and he
set it up right on the wharf and he made
a just a little hand painted sign on the moment
it said keep the pot boiling, which you know, that
might seem like an archaic phrase to us, but everybody
knew exactly what it meant and what he was out
there to do, and it was a a huge success.
He was able to do exactly what he set out
(10:03):
to do. And then that campaign, that approach of getting
the public involved is putting it before people and letting
their hearts do the rest, started spreading first to other
seaside type towns because that was the natural extension, and
then it just kept rolling on from there. I always
look at it as when people go out and ring
the bell, that's their opportunity to step right into like
(10:26):
a Norman Rockwell moment. It's a piece of Americana that
you're continuing and taking part of and incorporating into yourself,
into your family, into your children, and particularly here in Vero.
It's one volunteer and just that stunned me when I
got here that there is so much volunteer enthusiasm in
(10:47):
this community. You guys are rocking it and I just
want you all know that.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Thank you Major. That is so sweet.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
So you know, there are so many organizations in this town.
We are very philanthropic in this community. What does Salvation
Army do with the money raised here? And does it
stay in Indian River County? And then what does it
go towards?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Sure all the money stays here. We don't send it
off to help somebody else somewhere else. It's it's all
designated for this area. And every command you go, every
place the Salvation Army goes, it functions tailored to the community.
So the services that we have here are dictated by
the community and what they feel is a priority. We
(11:29):
partner with several churches currently to do on site feedings
three times a week. We operate a pantry which serves
countless especially right now with the food and security issues
that we've had, the demand for our pantry services have
just has shot through the roof. And I'm happy to
(11:49):
say that we've had all the support we needed not
to miss a beat. Everybody that comes to get help
has been able to receive help. And that's not good
on us. That's good on you.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh that's amazing. I know it's all we want to
support you, but we don't. In other words, you know,
we know that it's.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Going towards people that truly need help, and we wish,
you know that that wasn't the case, you know, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So I'm going to change gears.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Major.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
I'm going to go back to Robert and Susan and
you know, Robert, when I had Salvation Army on the
show probably five or six years ago, it was my
first time having them on to promote bell ringing, and
I was so inspired at the end of the show
that that's how our bell ringing group got started, because
I thought, you know what, why not put you know,
our money where our mouth is.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Why not go out there and be bell ringers.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
But before I bell rang I will be honest, and
I'm embarrassed to say this, Major, but I would kind
of shy away from the bell ringers.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I'm like, oh my gosh, there.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
They are again, there, you know, And I'm so sorry
because I'm very much I give to the community. But
you know, after a while, when you've been to publics
five times during the weekend, you have five rings, you know.
But now I will put it. I don't care how
much cash and if I've already donated a dollar or.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Two or are I'd sit next to the person and say,
let's talk.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I do, I say hello and I say thank you.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Robert, what was your perception before bell ringing and after
bell ringing?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Before bell ringing, I you know, in younger days, I
really didn't understand the Salvation Army and where the where
the proceeds went and what what type of charitable or
what type of background the whole Salvation Army was geared around.
It got a little bit of an education over the years, uh,
with volunteerism and how that how that works, and realized
(13:35):
how significant an impact that the Salvation Army does make
in a lot of communities, not just ours, but all
across the country. So that being said, it was uh,
you know, just when I knew what it was. And
then Sidney, the way you put it together was fantastic.
Siddy would get primo location in front of Publix, which
(13:55):
is centrally located between the beach and the mainland and everything,
so you get a lot of traffic. And Cindy always
put Mike and I at high noon. Oh yeah, during
lunch it has to be bell ringing. But Cindy would
get there in the morning and have a table and
this you have volunteers from the high school. They'd be
playing music and every hour there's rotation. A team of
(14:15):
people would come in and kick the bucket off.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It was fun.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
I thought, it's great, and it's I love, you know,
being a socially adapt person.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Ha.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Anyways, I like going out in front of the store
and meeting all these people because it's great. You get
to dress up, you have fun, and people want to give.
They are just nervous because they just didn't really know
what's all about. But engaging with them as they're walking
in and walking out, all of a sudden, you can
extract from people, not their money, but you can extract
what their real heart felt strings are. And next thing
(14:48):
you know, they're walking away and they're feeling great about
themselves as well as you are.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, it's fantastic. I love that. I love that. Robert.
You know, Susan, so we brought you in.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
You're a rookie, and so you had a week to
you know, raise the money, and I love there's a
picture of you and I'm not sure where you are.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's like a cafe.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Yeah, tell us maybe what it meant to you to
ring the bell and to get collections in your cattle?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
What did that feel like? And how was the response?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
You know? So it was cute because I went in there,
so shout out to Beebs Bebs Coffee shop. It's a
homegrown Sebastian rosery and a good friend of mine, Robert.
He's just a great, great pillar in the Sebastian area
bringing coffee back to life. And I go there all
the time. I went in there and I said, hey,
(15:38):
I'm like, I'm ringing the bell. He goes get out.
He's like, what else are you? I mean, I don't
know actually, and it's totally fine. I'm like, ignorance is great.
I'm like, give you a coffee and I'll tell you
exactly what I'm doing and maybe it'll make sense after coffee.
And he's like, all right, all right, I'm like put
some cash in there. I'm like, you know, this is
what we're doing. But previously you slated that you know,
(15:59):
you ask, you know, like what was the perception of
ringing that bell? And I remember going up in New
York City and Christmas was so magical, and part of
that magic was the bell ringers. And I remember very
very vividly that all of the bell ringers were older.
It was like Grandma and Grandpa was like mister and
missus Claus.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
So it was like they're always so cute and so steet.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
And I never really understood what the mission and vision was,
but I always knew that I wanted to as a kid,
to put a dollar in or some coins in there.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I loved.
Speaker 10 (16:28):
I remember just loving the sound of the coins dropping
at the bottom of the tin. And I just remember
those moments. But then I, you know, I got older,
and you know, life happened right, and I knew a
lot of struggling moms and Salvation Army came in clutch
with their food where they're clothing. And then I became
(16:51):
a Salvation Army mom at one point because I was
such a young mom, and somebody redirected me there because
one year my car guart broken into and all my
stuff was in there at the time, so everything got
stole in my wallet everything, and I had no Christmas,
Like that was my Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So Salvation Army gives me chill.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
So some one of my girlfriends came in and she's like, hey,
this is what they do. Hurry up and go there.
And I happened to know the like sweet little lady,
I'll never forget her. She was in there and she's like,
what are you doing here now? And I was like,
oh my god, I gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So I tell her.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
And they just wrapped my kids up with so much
love and they didn't even tell them that it was
Salvation Army. They gave me the gifts. I got to
wrap it and put it under the tree and they
didn't even know. It was the sweetest thing ever. So
I'm very grateful for that. And so that was the perception.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Absolutely, thank you.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Yeah, I did not know the story, you guys, So
that is precious.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, it was so precious. Wow, And it's funny.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
That was one of the things I was going to
ask Major is to give us a story of a real,
uh you know, situation where somebody got helped and wow, there.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You are right there. Major.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
We're going to go to a break and we are
going to find out they're going to count the kettles
