Not you, then who? That's right. That's right. You've heard that voice. So you were a combat veteran. So thank you for your service. First of all, how long did you serve? I graduated from West Point in 2004. I was a ranger qualified Apache pilot, and I flew 750 hours in operation Iraqi Freedom in Baghdad. I got out of the army in 2012. Wow. Thank you. (02:43–02:47)
