00:03.900 --> 00:06.067
Patty team . Altis Chief Brendon and I

00:06.067 --> 00:08.178
are here at the Watkins Ranch to tell

00:08.178 --> 00:09.844
you about one of our favorite

00:09.844 --> 00:12.067
traditions in Mobility's hometown . The

00:12.067 --> 00:14.400
26th annual Cattle Drive . That's right ,

00:14.400 --> 00:16.511
Boss . This tradition began more than

00:16.511 --> 00:18.733
two decades ago to bring our airmen and

00:18.733 --> 00:20.567
families together with the local

00:20.567 --> 00:22.456
community to celebrate our unique

00:22.456 --> 00:24.678
heritage and partnership . It's truly a

00:24.678 --> 00:26.567
testament to the spirit of Cooper

00:26.567 --> 00:28.789
operation and friendship that continues

00:28.789 --> 00:31.011
to define ALTs thanks to the support of

00:31.011 --> 00:33.067
the local community , we wouldn't be

00:33.067 --> 00:35.233
able to do this without the incredible

00:35.233 --> 00:35.229
efforts of our volunteers , local

00:35.240 --> 00:37.659
ranchers , civic leaders and airmen who

00:37.669 --> 00:39.613
make this event a success . You're

00:39.613 --> 00:41.780
absolutely right , Chief , our culture

00:41.780 --> 00:43.558
is what helps us thrive here in

00:43.558 --> 00:45.558
Southwest Oklahoma . And we want to

00:45.558 --> 00:47.725
pass along a big thank you to everyone

00:47.725 --> 00:47.599
involved with the planning and

00:47.610 --> 00:49.832
execution of this year's cattle drive .

00:49.959 --> 00:52.060
Make sure you come out to the 26th

00:52.069 --> 00:53.958
annual cattle drive where Colonel

00:53.958 --> 00:56.180
Marshall and I will be moving more than

00:56.180 --> 00:58.236
two dozen longhorns through base . I

00:58.236 --> 01:00.402
think we might even make a stop at the

01:00.402 --> 01:02.458
Youth Center to let the kids pet the

01:02.458 --> 01:04.513
horses . I know that was my favorite

01:04.513 --> 01:06.680
part last year . And don't forget that

01:06.680 --> 01:08.791
evening is also Military appreciation

01:08.791 --> 01:08.349
night at the Great Plains Stampede

01:08.360 --> 01:10.471
rodeo . You and your family can get a

01:10.471 --> 01:12.416
free meal provided by the Military

01:12.416 --> 01:14.360
Affairs Committee . Thanks for the

01:14.360 --> 01:16.582
reminder , boss . We're excited to head

01:16.582 --> 01:18.804
to the rodeo that night to have a great

01:18.804 --> 01:20.749
meal from the Mac and cheer on our

01:20.749 --> 01:22.916
airmen participating in the Tug of War

01:22.916 --> 01:24.916
competition . Well , team , I think

01:24.916 --> 01:27.249
that's about it for the mobility minute .

01:27.249 --> 01:29.360
Are you ready to sound it up , boss .

01:29.360 --> 01:31.304
I'm always ready . Chief . We look

01:31.304 --> 01:31.480
forward to seeing everybody on the 22nd .
