My name is Bernie Hot . I own K and B

00:06.550 --> 00:08.828
Liberty Farms here in Cordon , Indiana .

00:08.828 --> 00:11.079
My husband and I manage it . We have

00:11.090 --> 00:13.659
cows , goats , both meat , chickens and

00:13.670 --> 00:16.260
egg layers , two livestock gardens .

00:16.340 --> 00:18.507
And I'm also a fixed wing pilot in the

00:18.507 --> 00:20.930
Army reserve , the army and the army in

00:20.940 --> 00:23.819
reserves helps build you into a person

00:23.829 --> 00:26.051
that embellishes all kinds of different

00:26.051 --> 00:28.162
skills like leadership , confidence ,

00:28.162 --> 00:30.329
things that just can't be taught . And

00:30.329 --> 00:32.551
when you're owning your own business or

00:32.551 --> 00:34.607
running a farm , those are qualities

00:34.607 --> 00:36.440
that you want to have the Armory

00:36.440 --> 00:38.773
Reserve just helps prepare you for that .

00:38.773 --> 00:40.885
It gives you that self confidence and

00:40.885 --> 00:43.051
gives you that leadership quality that

00:43.051 --> 00:45.720
you need to have for your farm and for

00:45.729 --> 00:48.209
any type of business , it provides me a

00:48.220 --> 00:50.331
sense of self confidence that I can't

00:50.331 --> 00:52.498
get anywhere else . Also , you get the

00:52.498 --> 00:55.180
opportunity to maintain those family

00:55.189 --> 00:57.133
relationships that are normally so

00:57.133 --> 00:59.300
important to people and get to also be

00:59.300 --> 01:02.619
a part of home . I started wanting to

01:02.630 --> 01:04.739
fly since I was six years old . I

01:04.750 --> 01:07.379
remember always being intrigued by it

01:07.389 --> 01:09.500
any time it was a commercial flight ,

01:09.500 --> 01:11.389
my head was stuck looking out the

01:11.389 --> 01:13.445
window the entire time . But the big

01:13.445 --> 01:15.940
thing was the legacy of flying in my

01:15.949 --> 01:19.069
family . My dad was in the air force

01:19.080 --> 01:22.000
but couldn't fly . And my grandpa was

01:22.010 --> 01:24.066
in World War two . He was a bomb , a

01:24.066 --> 01:26.121
deer and a nose gunner in the B 24 .

01:26.410 --> 01:28.632
And so I just really wanted to continue

01:28.632 --> 01:29.440
that legacy .
