“I have the honor of living in Houston and I'm literally being judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character. Nobody cares what I look like. People care that I'm willing to serve this country. I flew 55 combat air missions in Baghdad as an Apache helicopter pilot. I am a West Point graduate. My brother's a West Point graduate, My sister's a West Point graduate. My dad's a retired colonel in the United States Army.” (00:23–00:28)
