my role in that battle was a team leader
with one of the platoons that went in on
the air assault
I wouldn’t originally I’m on the
helicopters when you make it out of
something where others didn’t you’re
gonna spend the rest of your life
thanking the people who were on your
left and your right and the way that I
know to do it since I’ve been given this
gift of putting a camera in front of me
is I’ll tell the story to whoever wants
to hear it I think anybody that’s ever
worn their boots whether it’s the Army
Navy Air Force Marines
the Coast Guard that camaraderie that
you had where there was just absolute
counting on each other the person on
your left here and your right are
responsible for you and you’re
responsible for them and it’s such an
absolute but it’s so basic to the core
of us as people when you get out of the
military I think that’s the thing that
you miss the most and you takes you a
long time to figure out that that’s what
it is you’re missing what I find amazing
about it having been telling the story
for 20 years it this stories thousands
of years old it’s the same story that
your grandpa’s were told World War two
uncle’s in Korea my father was in
Vietnam we will tell you the same
stories it’s always about man you should
have seen what he did and you should
have seen what she did that nobody’s
bragging about themselves and I think
the people watching these stories who
haven’t been in that situation they find
it inspiring what the battle means to
you it changes and I think where I’m at
in my life is it’s the absolute value
and how important you are to this person
and how important that person is to you
and if we focus everything we can and
pour everything we’ve got into helping
these people that’s how we’re gonna make
it up you can look back and say is war
or combat as any of it necessary and I
don’t know but I do know this it happens
in this world it is reality of the world
and you need people who are willing to
go and do that job
you’re gonna lose people if there’s
combat and you better make damn sure
that what you’re sending them for
worth the lives that are lost how it’s
changed me has changed over time and not
a day goes by where I don’t at some
point to think about something with that
battle it’s defined Who I am
with one of the platoons that went in on
the air assault
