Every year, my mother would make this golden brown, beautiful turkey, and my dad would say, oh, it's so beautiful, honey. My dad loved my mom so much. And he would go and get the Instamatic camera, and he would take a picture of the turkey in the oven just to commemorate that moment, that beautiful moment.

And my son, Carlos, my middle son, he's a special operator. He was a scout sniper in the Marine Corps, where his job was to jump out of helicopters at night, down a rope, into a theater of battle, and with a high-powered rifle and then shoot with optics at night.
