00:00Tampa Bay's morning crew want to honor and thank those who protect and serve our country.
00:05Time now for Military Monday on 99.5 QYK.
00:10All right, for Military Monday, we got Christine on the phone who is honoring her husband.
00:14Good morning, Christine. How you doing?
00:16I'm good. Good morning.
00:18So we want to talk about your husband, Matthew. Tell us how he serves our country.
00:23So he's been in the military since he was 18.
00:25I didn't meet him until a few years after, and we've moved several places already.
00:32We have two kids together and through deployments and overnight watches and just all sorts of stuff.
00:40I mean, he still he comes home and acts as if we are still his number one priority.
00:45He's been an amazing dad, an amazing husband.
00:48He's just all around just such an amazing person.
00:52And I'm just so grateful for him and everything that he does, not only for our family, but for this country.
00:57Let me ask you this. He's in the Marines. What's his rank there?
01:00He's a staff sergeant right now. He should be getting promoted this year.
01:04So we're really excited about that.
01:06Love it.
01:07Nice. I love that.
01:09What are some of the things when he is home and you guys get to spend some time together?
01:12What are some of the things that you love to do?
01:14Um, so my our youngest son is autistic and he is obsessed with the water.
01:21So we are always going to the pools and going to the beaches together.
01:24Last summer, he my husband took my son on a special Father Sunday to one of the water parks here in Florida.
01:31We they love skateboarding.
01:33My husband taught my older son how to skateboard.
01:37So they all go to the skate parks together and ride skateboards.
01:40And we got a skateboarding Marine.
01:41Marine. Yeah, that's awesome.
01:45I love that.
01:46I think a lot of women out there might be wondering if Matt has a brother, maybe a single one.
01:51He sounds awesome.
01:52He does. He absolutely does.
01:54He's got two brothers, one's younger and one's a little bit older, but they do not live here.
02:00Now, he actually is a son of two retired Marines.
02:02Is that right?
02:03Yes, that's correct.
02:04His mom and his dad were both in the Marine Corps as well.
02:06Wow. A lot of pride in that family when it comes to serving our country.
02:10That is remarkable.
02:11Well, listen, first of all, it was great to learn a little bit about your family.
02:15Also, it was great to be able to honor your husband, Matthew.
02:18Please pass our love on to him.
02:20And we'd love to do this.
02:21I want to give you a hundred dollar Visa gift card from Stingray Chevrolet.
02:24It's a small way for us to say thank you to you.
02:27Because we know that you sacrifice a lot as well.
02:29And we are so appreciative of Matthew.
02:31Thank you so much.
02:32You guys are wonderful.
02:33I love listening to you guys every day.
02:35Aww.
02:37Well, we appreciate that.
02:38Hang on for me.
02:39And thank you again for what you do as well.
02:41All right.
02:42Thank you guys.
02:42Have a great day.
