This
is
something

What
we
I'm

what
representative
Thomas
did
last
year.
Give
you
an
opportunity
to
introduce
yourself
when
we
come
up
to
this.
A
This
is
Senator
Williams
and
that's
Senator
Westerfield
and
a
lot
of
you
may
know
him
from
the
Far
Western
part
of
the
state
so
and
this
guy
are
you
supposed
to
be
here,
sir?
A
A
Marina
all
right,
Let's
start
on
the
front
row
for
the
kids
and
we'll
let
them
introduce
themselves.
Tell
me
tell
us
your
name
and
where
are
you
from
we
do
that
we'll
go
right
here.
Whitney
go
turn
that
on
for
him.
A
D
A
Green
by
the
way,
I
forgot
something
that's
Senator,
funkmeyer
from
me
front
mine,
so
she's
she's,
our
boss,.
J
A
K
D
J
N
So,
thank
you.
Mr
chairman
I
hate
that
you
make
fun
of
our
Senator
to
my
right
like
that
right
out
of
the
gate,
but
it's
quite
all
right.
You
know
this
is
a
very
special
day
for
me.
As
a
military,
Kid,
myself,
I've
grown
up,
my
father
was
a
military
policeman
for
22
years.
My
brother,
a
combat
engine,
a
combat
engineer
and
several
others
in
my
family
have
all
been
in
the
military.
N
I've
been
where
you
are
I
know
where
you're,
headed
and
I
know
the
difficulties
that
you
will
encounter
along
the
way.
Many
people
look
at
these
encounters
and
these
movements
that
you
will
encounter
as
barriers
or
as
times
that
are
difficult
for
you
that
separates
you
from
others,
and
they
are
right.
It
does
separate
you
from
others.
N
I'd
like
to
read
some
of
the
things
I
jotted
down
last
night
and
thinking
about
this
day,
I'd
like
to
begin
by
thanking
your
parents
for
allowing
you
to
be
here
if
your
parents,
our
military
men
and
women,
that
lead
by
example-
and
we
thank
you
all
for
your
commitment
to
our
country,
your
families
and
our
Commonwealth.
N
N
N
N
Where
others
make
excuses,
you
find
Solutions,
you
are
military,
kids,
some
of
the
best
our
country
has
never
forget.
You
are
unique.
You
are
trained
for
success
anywhere
in
the
world.
You
may
go.
No,
you
are
the
pride
of
your
family,
our
country
and
our
Commonwealth,
we're
very
proud
to
support
you.
N
We
have
the
honor
of
watching
you,
succeed,
adapt,
persevere
and
overcome
all
obstacles.
As
you
grow
up.
We
may
even
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
for
you
one
day.
May
it
be
for
Senator,
governor
or
even
president
of
the
United
States,
whatever
Walk
of
Life
you
choose,
you
will
be
leaders
because
your
parents
have
set
that
example.
N
Thank
you
for
coming
today.
Senator
girdler
I
want
to
give
you
the
opportunity
and
yield
back
my
time
since
you
may
explain
the
rest
of
today
again.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
here
today.
God
bless,
you
God,
keep
you.
A
I
see
we
got
more
kids
military
kids.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
let
a
couple
of
the
centers
speak
and
then
what
we'll
do
is
let
you
all
introduce
yourselves
to
us
with
your
name
and
where
you're
from
won't
take
two
or
three
minutes.
We
won't.
We
won't
to
secure
you
to
death
so.
A
Let's
do
this
Let's
take
the
mark
down
what
I
want
you
to
do
as
you
get
the
mic
just
tell
where
your
name
and
where
you're
from.
P
I
All
right,
yeah.
K
I
D
L
H
I
P
P
A
Now
we're
gonna,
let
couple
three
Senators
want
to
talk
to
you
and,
and
they
feel
an
emotional
tie
to
you.
So
let
them
talk
to
you
and
we
won't.
Let
them
talk
too
long.
All
right
send
whoever
goes
introduce
I'll.
Let
them
introduce
yours
themselves
and
tell
you
where
they're
from.
O
Well,
my
name
is
Gary
Boswell,
and
my
story
is
unlike
of
many
of
these
gentleman
here
today.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
everything
you
do
for
our
country,
because
it's
there's
no
way
that
we
can
express
our
appreciation
for
what
you
do
and
I'll
tell
a
little
history
story
quickly
in
1972
I
signed
up
for
the
Selective
Service.
That's
what
you
have
to
do
when
you
turn
18
years
old
and
that
year
they
draw
your
number
from
a
from
a
it's
a
lottery,
and
my
number
was
number
two.
O
So
I
started
the
process
go
ahead
and
signing
up
and
present
Richard
Nixon's
decided
to
cancel
the
draft
that
year.
So
I
went
on
off
to
college.
In
1997
I
adopted
two
twin
boys
from
the
country
of
Ukraine.
They
are
now
25
years
old
and
I'm
happy
to
announce
that
next
Wednesday,
one
of
my
boys,
will
be
applying
to
serve
in
the
United
States
for
Marine
Corps
and
it
and
he'll
be
given
the
opportunity
to
serve
his
country,
which
I
was
not
able
to
do
so.
O
A
D
Once
Marina
always
a
marine
here's,
your
Marine
any
other
families
that
are
serving
in
the
Marines
here
today,
all
right
and
we
have
different
branches.
I
know
we
have
National
Guard
as
any
National
Guard
families
here
today.
D
D
But
I
appreciate
you
all
and
thank
you
for
your
sacrifice,
because
truly
it
is
a
sacrifice
for
your
service
to
our
country
and
also
for
your
families.
People
don't
realize
how
much
of
a
sacrifice
it
is
for
the
families
and
for
the
children,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
and
answer.
We
we
want
to
honor
you
today.
Thank
you.
Q
R
I
picked
up
the
rear,
so
I
want
to
speak
as
a
grandparent
of
six
children
who
have
been
stationed
all
over
the
world.
Three
of
them
who
are
now
in
San,
Antonio
Texas,
but
one
thing,
my
three
girls
and
one
thing
I've
always
tried
to
instill
in
them.
I
hope
you
kentuckians,
remember
that
no
matter
where
you've
been
all
over
the
world
you're,
always
a
Kentuckian
and
and
I
can
tell
you.
R
Parents,
grandparents,
we're
all
looking
forward
to
coming
home
one
of
these
days,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
with
the
rest
of
this
committee
that
Kentucky
is
the
best
state
in
the
world
as
your
duty
station
and
for
all
of
you.
Some
of
you
who
may
have
not
been
so
fortunate
as
had
been
born
in
Kentucky,
will
realize
it
is
the
best
state
in
the
nation
to
retire
in
so
as
a
grandparent.
R
A
Anyone
else,
any
other,
senator
speak
now
forever
hold
your
peace.
We've
got
the
guy
that
had
the
mic
that
we
had
to
physically
take
away
from
wanting
to
speak
again,
so
Senator
Higdon
is
going
to
give
you
the
plan
for
the
day.
P
P
P
Donna
is
the
clerk
of
the
Senate,
her
and
Melissa,
sadly,
along
with
a
whole
host
of
other
people
and
I'll
mention
some
of
them
later.
That
worked
very
hard
on
this
military
folks
and
and
folks
here
at
the
lrc.
This
this
program
almost
died
a
few
years
ago
and,
like
I
said
not
for
Middle.
This
is
sadly
and
Donna
Holliday,
who,
who
threw
us
a
life
draft
and
and
pulled
us
out
of
the
fire
at
the
Corey.
P
Thank
you
also,
you
I
know
you've
worked
very
hard
on
this
and
and
appreciate
you,
but
they
threw
us
a
lifeline
and
and
got
us
back
on
the
right
track.
So
the
fruits
of
their
work
are
evident
today,
with
close
to
150.
Kids.
Youngsters
signed
up
to
be
here
today.
So
it's
it's
amazing,
absolutely
amazing!
Now
we're
not
going
to
play
cards
or
anything
today,
but
I
did
give
you
a
card
and
that's
kind
of
a
clue
of
what
what
tour
group
you'll
be
with.
P
So
when
I
call
your
number
you'll,
that's
you'll
be
with
a
particular
tour
group.
If
you
don't
like
the
group
you're
with,
maybe
you
can
trade
a
card
with
somebody
else,
but
I'd
rather
you
didn't
do
that.
You'll
have
fun
wherever
you
go.
Okay,
we
have
a
a
a
large
contingent
of
interns,
some
from
Eastern
Kentucky
University,
some
from
Northern
Kentucky
University
University
of
Kentucky.
Anybody
else
that
I
miss
anybody,
but
what?
What?
What
school
uofl?
Why?
P
How
do
I
forget
uofl
most
of
you
from
U
of
L
I'm
I'm,
getting
like
a
senator
girdler
I'm,
getting
forgetful.
P
And
I'm
hiding
behind
this
post.
Some
of
you
probably
can't
see
me,
but
again
we
want
to
thank
you
all.
We
want
to
thank
all
those
who
helped
today
and
we
want
the
rest
of
the
day
to
be
very
enjoyable.
If
you
have
any
issues
at
all
today,
there
there'll
always
be
some
of
us
around
your
interns.
The
interns
that
are
going
to
do
the
tour
guide,
they'll,
be
with
you
most
of
the
day
and
parents.
You
all
make
yourself
at
home.
You
can
follow
along
on
the
tours
or
or
go
to
the
cafeteria.
P
A
Senator
Hickman,
yes,
I
got
a
quick
question.
Yes,
they're
going
to
have
opportunity
for
pictures
after
a
while
on
Kenny
area,
we're.
P
Doing
we're
doing
a
group
picture
this
afternoon
this
afternoon,
right
after.
P
P
S
I
do
my
name
is
representative
Marianne
Proctor
I
have
not
served
in
the
military,
but
I
did
work
as
a
therapist
with
military
for
a
couple
years,
with
our
active
duty
coming
back
home
from
Afghanistan
and
Iraq
transitioning
back
into
the
community,
so
the
military
is
very
near
dear
to
my
heart.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
you
who
have
served
and
so
excited
to
see
all
you,
young
people,
it's
really
a
privilege.
Thank
you.
T
I'm
representative,
Scott,
sharp
and
I
am
also
a
child
of
the
military
where's.
The
people
that
were
born
in
Schweinfurt
and
Hamburg,
where
you
guys
at
I,
was
born
overseas,
also
in
an
Army
hospital
in
France.
So
just
like
you
not
only
that,
but
I
joined
the
army
and
I
I'm
retired
from
the
Army,
my
oldest
son,
was
born
in
Frankfurt,
my
oldest
daughter
was
born
at
Fort
Rucker.
T
G
P
P
Here's!
Here's
our
agenda
for
today
we're
going
to
leave
here
and
we're
going
to
go.
We
have
a
capitol
tour
and
scavenger
hunt
that
will
will
start
immediately
after
this
11
o'clock,
we'll
be
back
over
in
room
125
for
lunch
and
we'll
have
several
legislators
will
be
there
to
to
mingle
with
you
at
12
o'clock.
P
We
go
back
to
the
Senate
chambers
for
several
to
speak,
but
mainly
General
Lamberton
will
be
there
to
speak
with
us
and
his
wife,
his
wife
Karen,
which
is
a
she's,
a
great
speaker
and
I
know
you
all
will
certainly
enjoy
hearing
her
at
one
o'clock.
We're
doing
a
group
photo
on
the
steps
right
outside
the
Senate
chamber
and
then
the
two
o'clock
the
session
starts,
and
there
also
be
some
training
after
one
o'clock
for
for
paging
and
we'll
at
that
time.
P
Let
you
know
in
what
Chambers
you
will
be
paging,
like
I
said
some
will
page
in
the
in
the
Senate.
The
majority
of
you
will
page
in
the
house
because
it's
just
there's
more
room
there
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
all
heard
me
earlier,
but
paging
in
the
house
is
like
going
to
recess
it's
very
it's
very
Lively
paging
in
the
Senate's
like
going
to
the
library,
it's
quiet
and
somewhat
boring,
but
you
know
we
we
we
welcome.
We
welcome
you
and
it
is
a
good
gig.
P
But,
like
I
said,
the
the
house
is
a
lot
more
fun,
but
with
that
said,
we
got
we're
going
to
start
heading
back
over
to
the
to
the
Capitol.
Anybody
else
have
anything
that
we
need
to
need
to
share.
Okay,
we're
gonna,
start
heading
back
toward
the
Capitol
and
then
we'll
have
the
our
interns
back
here
to
hold
up
their
their
their
their
colors
and
and
then
we'll
we'll
Megan
here
has
green.
