My goal was to make first lieutenant. I never spent a lot of time worrying about what came after that.

It is changing the face of terrorism. It is basically bringing it to the United States, to our great citizens. It is -- we know terrorists are barbaric, and murderers that attack innocent civilians, as they did in this case.

I had seen the films out of World War II, the great 82nd Airborne, the 101st, and all of those of you in the greatest generation and the service that you had provided.

But again, we, I think, over the years have set the example for a lot of nations that may not have had the same values, the same type of coming out of the same culture that we as Americans have and enjoy. But we can be an example, a role model to them.

And occasionally some of the - some of the nations that you will have to - that will be partners in this would probably not be in terms of passing a pure human rights check, be - have everything going for them that you would like to have.

I always concentrated on doing the very best that I could in the job and the duties that I was assigned.

Well, I enjoy sharing in the dangers that we ask our men and women in uniform to share in almost every day.
