We just literally got off the phone today with a participant who's...

having some issues.

We're going to be, Brian's going to be linking up with him in the next couple of weeks to check in.

And so.

It's something that we do do.

It's something we need to get better at.

You heard it.

Sometimes all people need is just a little bit of encouragement, just a little bit of encouragement.

Yeah.

Somewhat kind of paradoxical, all of that.

Yes.

Like, what do you mean?

I would say...

Going back to the towers getting hit, right, and being motivated, like we just took a bloody nose and then enlisting and getting to see our country's finest come together, pissed off and ready to move forward and retaliate, I think is one of the greatest things that I've got to be a part of.

And the folks that were...

who did that I'll always have such high levels of admiration for it getting to be in Fallujah and seeing war fighters forget rank and just every day is you're living on the edge of every moment just trying to make it through and make sure that your buddies do it as well as the

the purest moments of my life.

It was exceptional.

And I struggle even going back to do a reunion with the Fallujah Marines because they have such a high regard in my mind that if I see them again, I don't think that they'll live up to it.
