Thanks for having me on, Megan.

It's great to see you.

Oh, I mean, you know,

One of the things that's sort of tricky about these awards is you get awarded for something that is probably, you know, the worst day of your life.

They don't hand out those medals when everything goes right on a mission.

And oftentimes it is the, you know, the leader of the unit who is awarded for what everyone else in the unit does.

So I was a platoon commander, a young platoon commander in Fallujah when the events occurred in my Silver Star citation.

And a lot of it,

involved a moment when my platoon was we were all surrounded in a house together and how we got out of that house and then another moment included um uh some wounded marines who we we got out of uh the line of fire um so those are the events mentioned in the citation but uh you know those awards are tricky you win you read medal of honor citations and um you know those are not happy days that you're reading about

Well...

You know, I don't really consider myself some grand fashionista, Megan.

I guess I do believe in, you know, being intentional about everything that you do in life.

And actually, that's something that I learned in the Marines.

Like, you wake up every day and you make decisions, right?

You make decisions if you're going to, like, put on a pair of sweatpants or maybe, like, you know, put on some khakis or some nice jeans or something to that effect, right?

So I believe in living with intention.

And I think if, you know, you have intention that gives you a direction, it's how you, you, you achieve goals.

So, you know, I'm coming on your show.

I could wear a t-shirt or I could have wore my blazer.

You know what I mean?
