Our service members make a lot of sacrifices, and so do their families.

The children of Kentuckians in the military enjoyed a military kid's day at the state Capitol yesterday, with a record number of 160 kids taking part by perusing the National Guard takes me, and my, you know, siblings, to, Capitol.

I think, it's pretty fun.

You go around and just, the cool stuff is different to be a military kid.

So we wanted to make a special day.

Just a day where we could say thank you for being a military kid.

Thank you for the sacrifices that you make.

You know, there's nothing like inviting kids to the Capitol.

We invite kids to the camp the whole time to page, and they enjoy it.

They get to see government up close and personal.

But we wanted to make this special.

We wouldn't make this day just for them.

As the beginning of the day they passed, they, looked at the bill.

So I thought that was pretty cool to see how they did, how they did that.

And, like kind of how that works.

They we got to meet a few legislators.

So it's it's pretty cool.

Just walk around and see what they do.

I like the military kid.

I think there's some benefits th And it's it's not a drastic change.

Too much because, we don't move around a lot, but you know, it is, you know, there are days like this that are pretty cool.

My father is in the National Guard.

He's a I went in the airplane, I went into the tent thing.

I wonder why it's really just us showing up with equipment, getting the kids to look in the Humvee and enjoy sort of the experience.

A little bit of knowing what we do in the military.

I looked in there and I saw that like some of the parts were like really steep and hard to get in.

So, yeah, I don't know how they do it.

They like to get in it, push the buttons, you know, find the horn and stuff.

A lot of them have been asking how we buckle into the Humvee, because it's only got a belt strap across your lap.

And then we tell them about how we have to wear our what we call a AC.

So it's our Kevlar helmet to protect our heads and stuff.

They've also been asking about the tent, like what we use it for, what we generally.

And my unit, we use it for a tack, which is a tactical operation, center.

We talked to the kids today.

We ask them what was their, you know, the most fun that they had.

One I them said flying the drone.

Two of them said to being here with their day.

They came to the camp the with their dad, their military dad and they enjoyed themselves and Senator Jimmy Higdon started Military Kids Day back in 2017.
