00:01.919 --> 00:03.427
- The Marine Corps is a

00:03.427 --> 00:05.774
warfighting organization at the end of the day,

00:05.774 --> 00:07.810
but we're also a humanitarian organization.

00:08.352 --> 00:11.420
We do a lot of work with crisis response for our nation

00:11.420 --> 00:14.962
and we also do a lot of stuff in the 
communities when we're able to.

00:16.675 --> 00:19.111
It's kinda crazy that so many people are

00:19.111 --> 00:21.047
appreciative of what we do,

00:21.047 --> 00:23.372
and it's been great.

00:24.091 --> 00:27.070
- It's good to just see a softer side of you guys.

00:27.070 --> 00:29.751
It's good to see you smile and

00:29.751 --> 00:32.038
hang out with our animals and playing with the puppies.

00:32.038 --> 00:35.163
You know, the work that you guys do 
is very important and very serious,

00:35.163 --> 00:37.929
but it is cool to see that more

00:37.929 --> 00:40.792
softer, playful side of you guys and just out here having fun.

00:40.792 --> 00:43.781
Seeing you guys here, you know, socialize with our dogs

00:43.781 --> 00:46.026
and playing with our puppies and 
the smiles on everyone's faces,

00:46.026 --> 00:48.308
it definitely makes you guys

00:48.308 --> 00:50.300
seem more personable and

00:50.300 --> 00:52.051
just, you know, human beings

00:52.051 --> 00:53.917
and easy to connect with.

00:53.917 --> 00:55.979
Being in a shelter is hard on our animals

00:55.979 --> 00:58.446
and you guys being here, supporting them,

00:58.446 --> 01:01.442
and helping fix up our walking trail is really great.

01:01.754 --> 01:04.638
- [Neely] The Marine Corps is definitely

01:04.638 --> 01:06.934
an organization where the people are

01:06.934 --> 01:08.462
super proud of where they came from.

01:08.462 --> 01:10.650
And if we're able to go into these areas

01:10.650 --> 01:12.338
and volunteer in these communities

01:12.338 --> 01:14.894
and show people that we are a good organization,

01:14.894 --> 01:16.884
I think that's a positive thing.

01:17.729 --> 01:19.714
- Thank you guys for being here and the work that you do,

01:19.714 --> 01:21.892
and taking the time out of your day

01:21.892 --> 01:24.679
to come and visit just a local nonprofit here in Nashville.

01:24.679 --> 01:27.227
