Sweet potato casserole, corn, mashed potatoes, green bean, all the things.

I can make a mean sweet potato pie.

In fact, even people who say they don't like sweet potato pie because they like pumpkin pie, you haven't tried mine.

So sweet potato pie and red velvet are both my things.

So I can lead a military service and I can also cook.

And I have to put a plug in again.

I know this is, you know, kind of going back to our conversation 20 minutes ago.

But if you are a civilian and you don't, again, you know you want to make an impact and that's what you started off with, hey, invite some folks, invite some military folks to your home during the holidays.

I always loved that, especially when I lived in the dorms and Ron lived in the barracks.

We didn't have a way to connect with our family.

We didn't want to go to the dining facility.

Sorry, Air Force.

We didn't want to go to the dining facility and eat, right?

We did sometimes.

But, man, when communities and neighbors and people brought us into their home, you know, I mean, you've got to take the precautions.

But I would say what a great opportunity to get to know a veteran by inviting them into your home.

Yes.

Better together.

Thank you for having me.

And thanks to everybody for listening.
