I don't even remember.

A dog bowl.

It was very strange.

I don't know what they thought I was going to do with the dog bowl.

At least I thought it was a dog bowl.

But I read it, but I also kept a journal in here.

The Somalis didn't know I was doing it.

They thought I was reading the Bible.

But I felt like I needed to capture everything that happened, again, from the moment the RPG hit the aircraft all the way through.

so that I would have a completely accurate account of every event.

And they, I don't know if you want to take a look at it there, but whoops.

They let me leave with it.

I had it in my hand.

And, you know, again, that goes back to,

I was reverent when they were praying and they respected my reading the Bible.

And again, used it as another tool, but it was valuable in the debrief for sure.

Because I was able to go event by event right through the whole thing.

And what were we trying to do, obviously, is we're trying to figure out, okay, if this happens to somebody else, you know, what might we learn from your experience?

What do the doors look like?

All that stuff, you know?
