So my main point, keeping a little bit of continuity.

I think it's important we retain or Coach Harbaugh retains Carmen Brasilla to keep the up front tight.

And I'll be quick.

V, R, W, I love you guys.

I'm proud of you guys.

Keep working hard.

And I love you guys.

Great show.

Have a great day.

Congressman Walls was one of the first members of Congress that I ever sat down with as a new advocate.

I eventually became a lobbyist working for a major veteran service organization.

And Congressman Walls was the lead sponsor of, I think, every single piece of legislation that I ever passed into law.

And I sat down with Congressman Walls not knowing what to expect.

He was a command sergeant major.

He was the highest ranking enlisted service member ever to be in Congress.

And I had left the military in a, in a less than nice way.

I left with a bad paper discharge and everyone of a much higher rank that I had up to that point, uh, in like, I don't know, 2008 or 2009, uh,

had uh had basically discriminated against me was like oh you got bad paper like you're not a real vet and i sat down with with congressman walls for you know what i expected to be a maybe five minute like say hi shake hands and he walks off kind of session and i i think we were probably together for closer to an hour

And I could tell, not just from the time that he was spending with some just random vet who randomly knocked on his door, I could tell that he cared not just from that, but from seeing his eyes well up, as I described my story.

And that is exactly why I was so damn excited to see him
