ATTENTION IN THE GALLERY TO A PROFESSIONAL FAIRFAX FROM THE CITY OF BRISTOL. BEFORE YOU START WONDERING WHY I'M INTRODUCING SOMEBODY FROM THE SENATOR FROM GRAYSON'S DISTRICT. HIS NAME IS BRIAN BOYD II AND IS ALSO IN THE ARMY RESERVES ASSIGNED TO THE 261 ORDINANCE COMPANY IN CROSS LANES WEST BY GOD, VIRGINIA. BRIAN BOYD II IS ALSO THE SON OF MY LEGISLATIVE AIDE JENNIFER WELCOME BRIAN BOYD AND MY BOYD. LEGISLATIVE AIDE JENNIFER BOYD TO THE NASCAR. SENATE. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU PLEASE RISE? JENNIFER THANK YOU FOR DOING GREAT WORK FOR THE SENATOR FROM ROANOKE CITY. BRIAN, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A FAIRFAX AND TO THE GUARD.
