Everything's personal. Each one of us is different from the other. We experience things in life differently. I'm proud of my service career. I'm proud of the places I went and the people I served with. I am joined to them for life.
You live in a mudhole, you sleep in the dirt and you eat cold meals. You endure hardship. You're separated from your families. It's Christmas, and it's like, “Oh, this sucks.”
It's not any one thing. It's just the impact that special duty service or wartime service has on you, because if you're out doing one of those, you're not at home. You're off somewhere with your peers, serving your country because your country asked you to go somewhere and do the country's business.
