And when I watched Kabul fall in the summer 2021, while I was flying water bombers, protecting our public lands. I knew our nation was at a crossroads as I saw the bodies fall from the airplanes and I saw 13 US marines killed at the abbey gate. One of them looked just like my wife, Carmen. Sergeant Nicole. Gee. And every time I look at that picture, it's hard not to choke up. (05:58–06:02)
