We Worked Hard to Help Others

Transcript

I am very proud of what we did and hopefully we did help the people over there having all those losses and stuff like that. But being there I know that we worked hard to help them people and maybe there was a war and stuff like that but at the end of the day we’re not there to kill anybody, we’re there to help the population that’s struggling there so I am very proud of what we did and hopefully, sometimes I read the papers and stuff and I see things like little girls being able to go to school and that makes me think maybe we did a little difference or even I saw, not too long ago, I saw there was a female contingent of Afghan army and I was thinking, wow, there was nothing like that when I was there so hopefully we did a little difference. I really liked my job, I did and if it was to do it all over again, I’d do it all over again.
