As for me, my roots in Western Pennsylvania are deep as well. Born and raised here, lifelong Western Pennsylvanian. I grew up and got an appointment to West Point and was able to serve my country for five years in uniform, four at the academy. So about a decade of my life was in uniform. And during the 911 period. And so right after graduation, I knew and my classmates knew that we were headed to war. (08:39–08:52)
