I didn't mention Veterans Day, but I never said how grateful I am to all the veterans, family, friends, you know, anybody that's out there who's a veteran that might be listening, and happy Veterans Day. Thank you for your sacrifice. I was in, but not long enough. I was in and out of the Army before I was out of high school. And then I ended up getting married and never ended up going back in. Went through, went to another war zone. But when I was growing up, I did Sea Cadets. I did Civil Air Patrol. Went through a two-week thing up at Camp Pendleton, Devil Pups. So when I decided what military service that I wanted to go into, I ended up picking the Army because I was the only one that hadn't picked. And my uncle worked for the Army. But like I said, I ended up, I was in the Reserves. I was supposed to do three months, three years Reserves and three years active duty. And then I went to probably a half dozen Reserve weekends. And then went to basic between my junior and senior year. Screwed up right from the beginning because I ended up missing my flight. So they ended up putting me on another flight, which again, I didn't get into the training class that I was supposed to be in. And so everything was screwed up. And then about halfway through it, I ended up having some issues. And so they decided just to go ahead and release me from duty. And they have a rating. I don't know if it's between negative three and plus three or a negative five and plus five. But my release was a zero. So I got none of the credit for being in the military. But I didn't get any penalty for being, you know, released from the military. So no benefits, but no combination or whatever. So something I really wish I had gone back and did once I got out of high school. But like I said, by the time I got out of high school, I was getting married. And that created a whole other set of problems and issues. So I never ended up going back in. But I appreciate everybody who did. All right. With that, I will pass it back to you, Russell. Bye.
