For me, it's an honor for the military to ask me to go to Iraq, Afghanistan, or GITMO. I'm happy to go.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Working with our military community has been the biggest honor of my life.
It's an amazing thing to hear they're finally giving out a Medal of Honor to a soldier from the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Personally, it was a big honor for me meeting so many families of the fallen soldiers and hearing their stories.
My first mission is to take care of our troops. I take that mission very personally.
But it's been a great, humbling - and I've been very honored to have the opportunity to serve and to lead and to be the representative of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who are in Washington. And it's been the greatest honor of my life.
Of course, for me, having served 22 years in the military and to have the opportunity to continue to serve my country is a great honor and is a privilege. So that's what makes it special each and every day.
Since coming back from Iraq, there's been so many triumphs and obstacles standing in my way, so whenever I set my mind to something, I definitely just go full blast at it.
I extend my deepest gratitude to our Armed Forces and first responders serving both at home and abroad in the war against terrorism.
I was honored to have served in the Army for my country. I was at Anzio during WWII, and it makes you realize how very precious life is.
I love my life as a missionary, keeping myself on the front lines. The image in my mind is that God, my general, stands at the door when I go out every morning; and, knowing what the war is like, day after day he gives me his most powerful weapon: his Spirit. For this I am grateful.
