They don't get away with a lot in our household, but we're teaching them what matters. But the thing I like to tell people is, you know, When I got hurt in Afghanistan, it was 2007 that I got shot, did surgery on myself, got hit by a mortar. Later on, it was a really bad trip, I guess, and went through about seven years of limb salvage. And then in 14, we got to the point where my leg wasn't working. (11:31–11:39)
