I am an armor officer.

My heroes are the non-commissioned officers. If I had another life that's what I'd be - a regimental sergeant major or a similar rank. That's where the spirit of the armed forces is.

I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.

I am a soldier, convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers.

I was a lieutenant in World War II.

I'm a public servant. And I work for the American people.

I was a case officer, otherwise known as an operations officer. My role was to go out and convince Al Qaeda operatives to instead work with us as well as to convince people and officials in foreign governments to work on behalf of the U.S. government secretly.

I am now a commander of the British Empire.
