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.

00:11Friday, JR and I got the opportunity to talk to Cheryl,

00:15and she was bragging about her son, Beau, who serves our country.

00:20This is how it went down.

00:22All right, Military Monday today, we are talking to Cheryl.

00:24Good morning, Cheryl. How are you?

00:26Hi, good morning. How are you?

00:27We're doing great. I'm so glad you reached out to us.

00:29This is going to be fun. We get to recognize your son today.

00:32Tell us about Beau.

00:33Beau is my second son.

00:36He joined the military in 2014 when he graduated high school.

00:41He went into the Army.

00:43He was picked from his battalion commanders to go to canine school,

00:50which he went and he completed,

00:53and then he was stationed in Washington, D.C. military district on Joint Base Henderson.

01:05From there, he was working under President Obama and Vice President Biden at the time,

01:12where he did many missions with them.

01:14And then from there, he went into, who was under Trump's administration,

01:19also doing detail with the Secret Service and all that.

01:23Wow.

01:24He also deployed with his dog to Iraq for nine months and did missions over there,

01:30where he got many awards and accommodations.

01:34What an impressive son, Beau is.

01:35This is amazing to hear about him.

01:38We're so grateful for his service.

01:40Well, Cheryl, he is your baby, though, so we've got to ask you.

01:43Yes, my baby.

01:44How would you describe him outside the uniform?

01:47Just talk to us about your son.

01:48He is a very mindset.

01:52He's strong.

01:53He's a very go-getter.

01:56He works hard for, you know, everything he does.

02:01Cheryl, you say he's a go-getter, but, I mean, really, he's only served two presidents.

02:04I know, I know, I know, I know.

02:06But Beau, he's so, you know, he's been blessed, and he's worked hard, you know.

02:12He's worked hard for all he's done, too.

02:14I feel like his resume speaks for itself.

02:16I feel like that's not going to be an issue.

02:19Yeah.

02:19It goes without saying that your son is definitely a go-getter.

02:22This is great.

02:23I love it.

02:24When Beau is not serving our country or in school, what are his hobbies?

02:28What does he like to do?

02:29Beau is a master.

02:31He recently got certified as a master scuba diver.

02:36He loves his Jeep.

02:38He loves Jeep.

02:39You know, he loves, he's very adventurous.

02:42Yeah.

02:42Well, I love it.

02:43I mean, Beau sounds like a great son, loves his mom.

02:48He loves animals.

02:49Yes.

02:50Now, Cheryl, let me ask you a question.

02:52You know, obviously, we always, we say the families are making sacrifices, too.

02:56The families deserve credit for their service as well, because when they have a son deployed

03:01or a loved one deployed, and you are in that situation.

03:04So, Cheryl, what does he tell you to kind of calm your nerves about this?

03:08Like, for instance, when he was in Iraq?

03:10You know, he would tell me everything was fine.

03:13You know, he would keep in contact with me.

03:17Even now to now, like, you know, he's safe.

03:21He has his dog.

03:22And, like, he would always tell me, I have Leo, he's the best partner, and I'm the safest

03:29with him than anybody.

03:30Oh, my gosh.

03:31Does he still have Leo?

03:32No, he doesn't have Leo anymore, because Leo is a Washington, D.C., military district

03:39dog, so he has to stay in Washington.

03:42He's under a new handler.

03:44He still is working.

03:45He's eight years old now.

03:47Well, Bo had him when he first started at two, and Leo is still deploying, and he's

03:53still winning first place in competitions, and he's still doing awesome.

03:58And the hopeful long-term goal is Bo and Leo would be reunited.

04:05Leo retires, but the military law is the last handler gets first dip on who can adopt.

04:13Well, I'm crossing my fingers for you.

04:18Well, Cheryl, let me just say this.

04:19I mean, what you just said about your son speaks for itself.

04:22I mean, that was so well-descripted about what he's gone through, how he's served, the

04:28accomplishments he's had, and the future that he has in front of him.

04:31We are so thankful that you reached out to us to let us know about him.

04:34We'd like to do this.

04:34Our friends at PDQ are very appreciative as well.

04:38We'd like to give you a $50 PDQ gift card, so when he's not studying at the University

04:42of Tampa, he can go have a meal on us, okay?

04:44That would be awesome.

04:45Thank you so much.

04:46You got it, and thank you again so much for telling us about Bo.

04:49Oh, thank you so much for taking, you know, the time to listen about Bo.

04:53Absolutely.

04:53Don't forget, you can nominate somebody at 995QIK.com if you want to brag on somebody

04:59in your family who has also served our country.
