 Even though I never intended to join the Army, I am a patriot. My family has been a patriot since World War I. Probably before that, I am proud to have served with the United States Army as a combat medic. I am proud of all of those I served with and those of you that are still serving out there. I'm proud of you too because you're doing something that only 10% of the total population does yet 100% of us enjoy the freedom that you're giving us day in and day out. So thank you, United States Army, for building my character and thank you, those of you who are still in there, ladies and gentlemen, for serving and protecting us here in the United States of America.
