00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:14,630
- The hospitals, especially the ERs,

7
00:00:14,630 --> 00:00:17,220
if we can take those patients
that they don't need,

8
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:19,630
they have beds for the
more urgent patients,

9
00:00:19,630 --> 00:00:22,300
and we can take care
of these patients here.

10
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:23,720

which was designed by the
Army Core of Engineers.

00:00:29,330 --> 00:00:32,440
About 200 additional Kentucky

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,720
- If you talk to any
Guardsman, air or army,

20
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,870
they are 100% team Kentucky,

21
00:00:50,870 --> 00:00:53,080
and they want to be in
the community helping.

22
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,880
That's the whole reason we serve.
