And I'm on the line serving this young sailor.

And I'm like, what a commitment, you know, what a commitment to do. And the kids without. So I think, I mean, my mantra is we're talking about people pushing things on other people about their beliefs or their opinions or their attitudes.

We got some people that have made the ultimate commitment, the ultimate sacrifice. It's like the stolen valor shit. Oh, I'll lose my mind on that because that's just crazy. The commitment that it takes, of course.

Please, when you see somebody in uniform, if you see somebody with a Vietnam vet hat, you see somebody that's in, you know, just take a moment. Just say thank you. Thank you goes so far.
