With Travis that day, you know, he, he helped pull Doc in. Doc said, when I went to see Doc at the Bethesda Hospital, he said, you know, I just felt this, this big hand come in and grab me and, and pull me in. | <0>679<0>77<0>2867<0>2748<0>3515<0>3722<0>1732<0>3668<0>1205<0>403<0>3388<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>3726<0>3003<0>3466<0>1800<0>3668<0>3024<0>1711<0>1200<0>1240<0>404<0>237<0>3114<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>3569<0>1730<0>611<0>2594<0>2187<0>2187<0>1329<0>1834<0>3114<0>2187<0>561<0>2748<0>1620<0>1108<0>1329<0>327<0>2669... |
They were surrounded there and, and uhm, you know, was, uh, the sniper was there firing away. | <0>361<0>2703<0>1981<0>716<0>2238<0>2221<0>3822<0>2221<0>3592<0>77<0>1800<0>3822<0>2221<0>1862<0>1295<0>2594<0>77<0>1197<0>3741<0>1800<0>2594<0>2594<0>1800<0>382<0>382<0>3359<0>1335<0>4095<0>3003<0>3726<0>3003<0>3003<0>77<0>1730<0>3822<0>2324<0>229<0>2703<0>3176<0>3660<0>3002<0>374<0>3377<0>1812<0>3222<0>3762<0>3762<0>... |
Uhm, I don't know if you're gonna share, but Chuck Siegel was also wounded. | <0>2324<0>382<0>2324<0>3798<0>2594<0>3447<0>3592<0>2324<0>2594<0>3452<0>361<0>2594<0>3038<0>3003<0>4095<0>1915<0>3055<0>1449<0>2703<0>1981<0>954<0>2187<0>1915<0>2441<0>1675<0>3049<0>3340<0>1730<0>679<0>1981<0>1858<0>3592<0>3150<0>1842<0>3592<0>3894<0>1238<0>1938<0>1200<0>679<0>3038<0>2575<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
As he came in, actually got an email from Chuck recently, just to, you know, so many years later, just to sort of talk about that day and what it was all about. But you can imagine that the, uh, the cloud of war. | <0>1711<0>3668<0>815<0>148<0>77<0>701<0>2161<0>2875<0>2830<0>1800<0>2940<0>2940<0>1800<0>2875<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>2589<0>744<0>3681<0>3190<0>2715<0>3660<0>1261<0>361<0>3377<0>374<0>1238<0>1730<0>361<0>1862<0>3377<0>2594<0>611<0>1238<0>2840<0>3367<0>2197<0>1675<0>2191<0>3797<0>2365<0>1730<0>8<0>3386<0>3798<0>1463<0>9... |
Chaos, confusion, nobody really knows what's going on. As I talked to the guys that were there that day, nobody was really sure where things were coming from. They just knew they were in big trouble. | <0>1301<0>1944<0>3892<0>3539<0>898<0>367<0>1026<0>3509<0>294<0>2187<0>746<0>3008<0>252<0>809<0>1238<0>3447<0>229<0>679<0>690<0>1862<0>2136<0>561<0>3377<0>2152<0>2191<0>3373<0>2705<0>3370<0>3377<0>1200<0>2748<0>1200<0>1200<0>83<0>1329<0>3003<0>2870<0>114<0>2589<0>3540<0>2870<0>365<0>2870<0>0<0>2870<0>2870<0>3856<0>3693<... |
We're trying to build the momentum the other way because the momentum's coming in so, so much so on the other side that you gotta sort of get out and get it on them. Get, get the rounds on them to have them, you know, lose that momentum. | <0>229<0>122<0>379<0>2748<0>1862<0>382<0>2324<0>3592<0>3840<0>679<0>3840<0>3837<0>2748<0>746<0>2748<0>3143<0>2187<0>2364<0>2202<0>1789<0>553<0>1321<0>3809<0>3184<0>2748<0>3089<0>361<0>561<0>2335<0>1730<0>2055<0>3359<0>1981<0>2921<0>1007<0>3447<0>2594<0>2705<0>1026<0>3377<0>611<0>1862<0>2578<0>746<0>3143<0>361<0>3762<0>... |
Gave it all, you know. Gave it all that day. Gave it all every moment he was over there. In working with the Marines, working with the Iraqis and, and, uh, you know, that, that last event. | <0>3234<0>3585<0>1730<0>2748<0>3377<0>219<0>327<0>1329<0>1329<0>1329<0>1335<0>2984<0>1800<0>2594<0>1862<0>3783<0>1329<0>1329<0>1108<0>3973<0>860<0>3892<0>3894<0>2471<0>3377<0>2799<0>1200<0>2875<0>3681<0>1800<0>3892<0>304<0>2875<0>77<0>553<0>3509<0>1328<0>1883<0>1883<0>1575<0>1639<0>3973<0>365<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>300... |
Start to ask him about what, what he saw trying to figure out, you know, the, we've got what was written up in his award and just trying to get some insights. And the gunner said, you know, Lieutenant was calling for more ammo. | <0>2957<0>3378<0>382<0>1862<0>1318<0>3539<0>3976<0>3002<0>403<0>553<0>2197<0>1862<0>954<0>2549<0>1777<0>3888<0>229<0>679<0>3296<0>294<0>954<0>1730<0>148<0>1730<0>491<0>3592<0>2753<0>3783<0>2548<0>1346<0>1335<0>77<0>1448<0>1815<0>2594<0>2594<0>3509<0>2864<0>3877<0>3797<0>1117<0>2187<0>561<0>382<0>229<0>1579<0>1649<0>376... |
So I'm thinking that Travis I saw when he was over there, he had all sorts of magazines. So I don't know how many rounds, but I'm guessing around maybe 90 to a hundred rounds he had on himself. And he'd actually laid down a lot of fire to change the momentum. | <0>421<0>770<0>374<0>2799<0>2799<0>679<0>826<0>838<0>3143<0>2199<0>2703<0>2594<0>294<0>3123<0>3003<0>3123<0>3837<0>1730<0>3003<0>2284<0>1862<0>3822<0>3359<0>3002<0>2762<0>374<0>809<0>491<0>3927<0>366<0>3150<0>1594<0>2753<0>229<0>1834<0>424<0>1862<0>3509<0>1452<0>3592<0>490<0>2368<0>3326<0>3877<0>237<0>2345<0>104<0>1617... |
But I, you know, he knew what he was doing. He exposed himself. He had to do that to get out there and lay down the fire. And, uh, when I spoke to the gunner, Wilson, he said, you know, we threw out a magazine I turned around. When I turned back, Travis was laying on the ground. | <0>2096<0>3447<0>3892<0>3024<0>3003<0>3003<0>3123<0>1730<0>746<0>679<0>2099<0>1108<0>3003<0>365<0>2433<0>1730<0>386<0>1007<0>386<0>3509<0>3155<0>1938<0>382<0>1862<0>1285<0>2555<0>1034<0>1335<0>4095<0>3114<0>1730<0>553<0>3478<0>3132<0>2799<0>2799<0>2594<0>1238<0>770<0>838<0>2517<0>2594<0>151<0>148<0>1862<0>1240<0>3822<0... |
So maybe he was trying to get that magazine and load it into his weapon. He had run out all of his ammunition and laying cover for these guys. | <0>3693<0>770<0>2705<0>83<0>1265<0>2753<0>2615<0>2092<0>3222<0>1108<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2924<0>1730<0>361<0>1730<0>561<0>3894<0>3176<0>3155<0>1145<0>3003<0>3003<0>3762<0>104<0>3189<0>252<0>1862<0>3822<0>361<0>1730<0>648<0>355<0>324<0>2471<0>1010<0>587<0>368<0>5... |
Yeah, and he knew that. He knew that. If not me, then who? You know? He knew what he had to do. | <0>2161<0>2703<0>1730<0>3176<0>2152<0>679<0>2594<0>1711<0>1800<0>9<0>4095<0>3973<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3466<0>3003<0>3003<0>701<0>1730<0>561<0>3509<0>1318<0>1800<0>1800<0>2052<0>3726<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>1915<0>1730<0>561<0>382<0>2748<0>3359<0>1730<0>1171<0>561<0>1384<0>2324<0>3299<0>3803<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003... |
I know that uhm, cause they had lost, they had, I got a letter from Kibiki shortly afterwards and he said, you know, we're using Travis's words to go on because he, they had lost some guys and he had pulled the team in and said, look, we gotta, they'd want us to go on. We gotta keep working. We gotta turn the tide her... | <0>611<0>3447<0>746<0>2748<0>2799<0>1730<0>1710<0>2433<0>2553<0>374<0>3377<0>2748<0>2594<0>2205<0>1335<0>3762<0>1335<0>3003<0>3003<0>1632<0>789<0>3797<0>3973<0>755<0>374<0>2525<0>3668<0>1710<0>492<0>3377<0>898<0>3910<0>1405<0>3003<0>2058<0>290<0>1285<0>1730<0>1730<0>2875<0>1632<0>2594<0>361<0>3089<0>374<0>1800<0>234<0>... |
And so he used that session that Travis had with the team and said, look, you know what Travis would think, you know what we got to do. We got to keep fighting on. And that's what they did. | <0>3741<0>561<0>2055<0>2799<0>1238<0>2875<0>361<0>679<0>3176<0>3378<0>2826<0>362<0>1335<0>3762<0>9<0>3003<0>3466<0>3762<0>3003<0>1384<0>838<0>3681<0>4095<0>3003<0>3003<0>2223<0>3002<0>809<0>3155<0>1307<0>3637<0>409<0>1240<0>3822<0>807<0>491<0>4003<0>1800<0>229<0>1938<0>648<0>2493<0>1730<0>1730<0>361<0>3509<0>1800<0>140... |
Clearly in, in writing this is sorta, as a father, obviously really tough to, to go through and, and, you know, talk to the guys that were with him and relive that. | <0>3545<0>2898<0>3373<0>3509<0>3943<0>2152<0>3892<0>1862<0>2497<0>3741<0>2703<0>2594<0>382<0>1862<0>3976<0>561<0>1214<0>3976<0>2826<0>1405<0>1171<0>3340<0>2826<0>3509<0>807<0>1862<0>678<0>1748<0>3762<0>3762<0>1580<0>3686<0>3769<0>2589<0>2589<0>4066<0>3762<0>3123<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3123<0>75<0>3132<0>3456<0>2... |
Uh, but the other side of it is, it's a little healing to just sort of know exactly what was going on. | <0>3132<0>2799<0>1384<0>2161<0>746<0>3791<0>746<0>368<0>3437<0>1200<0>2152<0>2703<0>1463<0>1730<0>3585<0>403<0>438<0>2433<0>895<0>2459<0>3791<0>484<0>3894<0>2594<0>2187<0>1022<0>327<0>2594<0>1238<0>1277<0>1329<0>1632<0>1329<0>3973<0>3386<0>1730<0>3176<0>1730<0>2404<0>1265<0>2471<0>382<0>382<0>1862<0>2324<0>327<0>327<0>... |
What the guys that were there with him felt about his actions that day. | <0>114<0>415<0>415<0>415<0>415<0>2778<0>114<0>3762<0>2957<0>2957<0>2018<0>3762<0>3762<0>3003<0>1108<0>2799<0>2875<0>919<0>2578<0>1862<0>1200<0>2769<0>2966<0>1238<0>954<0>1324<0>304<0>1862<0>1981<0>229<0>751<0>1568<0>1730<0>361<0>3299<0>2840<0>365<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2538<0>3720<0>3373<0>3404<0>2... |
And so uhm, you know, as I went through a struggle at times. | <0>2875<0>2769<0>2762<0>382<0>1265<0>2753<0>1575<0>1777<0>382<0>679<0>104<0>1580<0>3686<0>1329<0>1329<0>3003<0>4095<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>3003<0>1899<0>289<0>374<0>374<0>2769<0>3373<0>1518<0>2715<0>2838<0>1944<0>2748<0>1862<0>3404<0>1981<0>2864<0>1095<0>290<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2182<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>300... |
But I realized that uhm, you know, unless we, we tell these stories. | <0>3299<0>3377<0>1981<0>2799<0>2799<0>3377<0>2703<0>1710<0>1196<0>3668<0>3176<0>1108<0>2096<0>374<0>3180<0>382<0>3299<0>3973<0>648<0>1329<0>3868<0>746<0>2748<0>1862<0>1200<0>2826<0>3592<0>1675<0>1022<0>2875<0>294<0>2984<0>3798<0>1206<0>1196<0>374<0>327<0>3373<0>2563<0>703<0>2799<0>1981<0>2864<0>2029<0>3637<0>3266<0>242... |
The rest of the country is not going to know what these guys are doing. So we got to make sure that we get the word out there and there was a big part of it is just sitting down and talking through that day. Big part of the struggle for me and putting this book together. | <0>1732<0>1862<0>3155<0>2553<0>2152<0>3949<0>1463<0>3622<0>1318<0>2185<0>382<0>611<0>2594<0>382<0>2594<0>1862<0>2324<0>2955<0>3901<0>3762<0>9<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>3003<0>294<0>229<0>718<0>3176<0>3622<0>4003<0>3176<0>2029<0>361<0>382<0>3783<0>1329<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0... |
Several of the guys were there, whether it was the doc when I went to see him at Bethesda, talked about the impact of what Travis did, or Lieutenant Morang was there and he sent me a message and said, hey, | <0>3310<0>1205<0>1773<0>2748<0>2799<0>1526<0>3143<0>3437<0>3248<0>746<0>1579<0>1171<0>1800<0>2221<0>3507<0>2573<0>2815<0>1238<0>374<0>954<0>954<0>2769<0>3176<0>3438<0>2488<0>2748<0>2221<0>611<0>1804<0>2365<0>2471<0>826<0>2826<0>2459<0>3457<0>1730<0>2703<0>1862<0>2875<0>3180<0>2205<0>1196<0>809<0>2769<0>2816<0>374<0>114... |
You know, there's no doubt in my mind that Travis saved my life and the life of the entire patrol that day, so. I mean, the guys that were there were with him. They know what happened. | <0>3003<0>3114<0>2703<0>2703<0>703<0>561<0>1862<0>919<0>3437<0>2221<0>43<0>2549<0>3359<0>1862<0>3377<0>1800<0>361<0>1800<0>77<0>4095<0>3181<0>3822<0>1862<0>2152<0>3340<0>1100<0>221<0>294<0>1862<0>3377<0>1442<0>3377<0>2875<0>611<0>2594<0>2799<0>382<0>3968<0>3386<0>493<0>587<0>1238<0>3720<0>1862<0>1981<0>345<0>2273<0>366... |
About five years afterwards, started to get down to writing it. And I, you know, there's a story behind that too, right? I mean, I, uh, the last time I talked to Travis was a week before we lost him. | <0>2026<0>366<0>2338<0>2594<0>652<0>3171<0>2187<0>2716<0>3509<0>975<0>975<0>2115<0>3299<0>1108<0>3762<0>3003<0>3762<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>4095<0>899<0>3437<0>2594<0>2187<0>2989<0>1886<0>1418<0>3143<0>2187<0>1034<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>1665<0>365<0>3296<0>294<0>43<0>361<... |
And it was an unusual call because normally I was with my wife and this time I wasn't. It was by myself. And I guess he felt a little bit more open to share with me what was going on. And he was, you could sense that there was a lot happening. | <0>3296<0>1944<0>553<0>553<0>1800<0>1730<0>3888<0>3894<0>2769<0>746<0>746<0>919<0>3509<0>3008<0>2934<0>2753<0>998<0>2221<0>3377<0>3783<0>3894<0>3837<0>3373<0>2769<0>1862<0>286<0>3976<0>3373<0>2769<0>3894<0>3447<0>1580<0>3377<0>2365<0>1518<0>3509<0>2594<0>2594<0>1171<0>809<0>3234<0>691<0>3171<0>3359<0>366<0>1238<0>2748<... |
And he had a message for me, he kept sharing that he said, Dad, it's incredible what I'm seeing over here. It's incredible what these young Marines are doing. What I'm seeing every day, they're fighting in the streets. They're putting it all on the line. I don't think the rest of the country knows what's going on. | <0>809<0>151<0>809<0>382<0>3509<0>3668<0>770<0>3637<0>3155<0>3370<0>2396<0>1268<0>3735<0>104<0>3707<0>2044<0>850<0>407<0>1741<0>1862<0>1862<0>561<0>809<0>77<0>539<0>3792<0>809<0>2875<0>437<0>1240<0>1800<0>1171<0>4051<0>386<0>3798<0>2221<0>611<0>2221<0>2441<0>1214<0>1406<0>3783<0>771<0>797<0>2675<0>3140<0>954<0>2327<0>2... |
And he knew that cause he'd go back to Camp Felucia, turn on the TV and see what we were watching back here. And then he'd be on patrol and just sort of see the incredible things that were going on. And it was a huge disconnect for him. | <0>1959<0>1730<0>2152<0>746<0>2152<0>1710<0>3437<0>361<0>1261<0>1730<0>289<0>3509<0>2099<0>1108<0>1338<0>2703<0>1238<0>0<0>3075<0>3976<0>3143<0>2594<0>2799<0>2152<0>3155<0>1485<0>3143<0>1862<0>2748<0>2324<0>3686<0>2161<0>1730<0>294<0>1730<0>1730<0>2875<0>212<0>386<0>679<0>229<0>3509<0>1981<0>2365<0>1862<0>1813<0>819<0>... |
And he, he got cut off several times in that phone call and he kept calling me back and he'd start all over again. Dad, you, you, you really, you really gotta get the message back to people. It's incredible what's happening here, you know. The American people don't know the incredible things these guys are doing. And ... | <0>1271<0>3447<0>1022<0>77<0>3123<0>3123<0>3176<0>2187<0>746<0>1145<0>3621<0>374<0>366<0>3404<0>2799<0>770<0>3002<0>2471<0>521<0>327<0>2015<0>3377<0>366<0>919<0>895<0>2488<0>2199<0>2221<0>1862<0>1007<0>2396<0>3404<0>1862<0>2864<0>614<0>1488<0>133<0>2830<0>3874<0>289<0>2703<0>2639<0>3949<0>1862<0>2221<0>3008<0>361<0>124... |
I got cut off with him the last time, and I always signed off to tell him how much I loved him, and it was the first time that I missed him. I figured, okay, I'll hear from him next weekend. | <0>123<0>3447<0>2838<0>3447<0>1665<0>1842<0>3447<0>2748<0>2517<0>1007<0>348<0>3373<0>2799<0>327<0>3437<0>809<0>212<0>2985<0>3413<0>3822<0>2549<0>2924<0>1335<0>9<0>3003<0>1335<0>3762<0>1145<0>2840<0>369<0>553<0>1944<0>1240<0>2748<0>1981<0>2748<0>2563<0>1405<0>3413<0>3437<0>3976<0>1022<0>1687<0>898<0>1331<0>3753<0>648<0>... |
And we got to knock on the door that next weekend that we lost Travis. You know, your worst nightmare, your only son, so proud of him. | <0>701<0>2799<0>1022<0>3437<0>2062<0>1022<0>3822<0>691<0>2921<0>490<0>3370<0>1485<0>3894<0>2864<0>931<0>424<0>290<0>3973<0>2875<0>3789<0>3509<0>3143<0>3732<0>3359<0>2187<0>1556<0>2809<0>1079<0>4095<0>4095<0>4095<0>3003<0>77<0>3894<0>954<0>1579<0>1620<0>3132<0>3378<0>382<0>1862<0>3299<0>2924<0>227<0>3861<0>3973<0>1335<0... |
I figured okay, most natural thing for us is to roll down the shades, lock the doors, and just tell everyone to go away. | <0>3143<0>2594<0>2594<0>2703<0>3968<0>3509<0>3404<0>2365<0>3968<0>2645<0>1800<0>2366<0>1732<0>2555<0>465<0>3762<0>3762<0>2589<0>3762<0>2984<0>3798<0>2799<0>1715<0>151<0>2703<0>3143<0>1777<0>2020<0>367<0>3509<0>1580<0>384<0>490<0>3413<0>2857<0>2432<0>1300<0>2972<0>382<0>3658<0>2697<0>2365<0>2324<0>1442<0>583<0>3377<0>15... |
And it was because that last conversation I had with him, we knew there was going to be media. And sure enough, there, there was. I pulled my wife and daughter together. I said, you know what? When they call us, we're going to talk. | <0>1944<0>679<0>2152<0>1448<0>2152<0>165<0>1675<0>374<0>1526<0>2229<0>1442<0>809<0>3847<0>1830<0>3822<0>1862<0>1862<0>3155<0>1171<0>1730<0>2708<0>361<0>1862<0>4003<0>2324<0>3528<0>2580<0>237<0>1862<0>2099<0>4095<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2984<0>2924<0>2799<0>2152<0>2152<0>2152<0>3180<0>3509<0>1830<0>1862<0>3... |
And really this book is about talking, about sharing the stories. I've been on that mission since the last time I talked to Travis and he gave me that mission to do this. And so I was pretty certain early on. | <0>403<0>3447<0>1007<0>3509<0>553<0>3791<0>3943<0>553<0>1730<0>2875<0>2398<0>2924<0>1639<0>405<0>132<0>1834<0>196<0>191<0>368<0>3386<0>679<0>2799<0>611<0>1730<0>3176<0>3894<0>2799<0>1240<0>3377<0>3973<0>3422<0>3973<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3837<0>1007<0>327<0>3686<0>104<0>2099<0>3018<0>2324<0>366<0>3386<0>252<0>15... |
I was going to do something. Initially, I thought, okay, I heard about Travis and his Marines and infillusion and how they turned the tide. So maybe that, that would be the story. We could talk about how these brave Marines and work together with the Iraqis to make that happen. And then we lost Brendan. | <0>746<0>2799<0>3832<0>2799<0>374<0>361<0>3894<0>3155<0>838<0>366<0>611<0>2389<0>1277<0>3003<0>1108<0>4095<0>9<0>3762<0>1335<0>3386<0>1448<0>2769<0>3668<0>3155<0>1830<0>3176<0>809<0>2883<0>1074<0>3404<0>3377<0>3377<0>3798<0>1575<0>3143<0>355<0>1598<0>748<0>75<0>3762<0>3762<0>1108<0>3466<0>1667<0>611<0>1862<0>3377<0>126... |
You know, and I realize, you know, maybe it's not that story, maybe it's the bigger story of our Navy SEALs and our Marines and everyone that's putting on the uniform and the sacrifices they're making. | <0>77<0>2703<0>746<0>2221<0>2748<0>3377<0>3972<0>2324<0>3377<0>3377<0>374<0>1730<0>3176<0>3377<0>1442<0>1200<0>361<0>1171<0>2985<0>561<0>3377<0>1240<0>493<0>1329<0>1108<0>1196<0>3447<0>212<0>3340<0>679<0>3972<0>1862<0>1214<0>3509<0>1171<0>3378<0>3837<0>345<0>2594<0>3143<0>3990<0>3155<0>234<0>1214<0>2641<0>931<0>3222<0>... |
And so uhm, that's why it sort of took me a little while. I mean, we had, we lost Travis in 07, we lost Brendan in 2010 when, and I had just come back from, from doing some of the stuff over in Iraq and started to think, well, maybe it's a different story. And, uh, | <0>701<0>2703<0>561<0>3850<0>1715<0>2799<0>2799<0>3840<0>3840<0>3840<0>679<0>2799<0>3377<0>3377<0>679<0>3299<0>104<0>1329<0>4095<0>4095<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>77<0>374<0>3592<0>2748<0>809<0>3832<0>83<0>2324<0>746<0>1675<0>3359<0>1730<0>2799<0>2365<0>1422<0>1981<0>2221<0>1862<0>3299<0>587<0>561<0>561<0>270... |
I think it was, it definitely helped, you know, to know that we could do something with his loss. | <0>729<0>2152<0>919<0>1442<0>122<0>2060<0>212<0>491<0>770<0>365<0>3693<0>365<0>2187<0>77<0>3176<0>648<0>2769<0>3447<0>2199<0>3359<0>1730<0>2799<0>1981<0>3299<0>1384<0>1038<0>3973<0>3762<0>4095<0>3762<0>3003<0>2187<0>2703<0>2748<0>2799<0>648<0>3668<0>2594<0>3447<0>2799<0>3404<0>492<0>2769<0>895<0>2875<0>403<0>1384<0>103... |
And have a reason. You know, when we start thinking about his message, you know, part of that if not me then who message that goes back to that last conversation I had with him. Because when we started telling the stories, my son-in-law shared that story with the newspaper. And all of a sudden that if not me then who ... | <0>1123<0>561<0>3668<0>1862<0>2864<0>3972<0>1730<0>2161<0>3792<0>2984<0>3003<0>1376<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2957<0>2437<0>623<0>561<0>1862<0>1200<0>512<0>553<0>3340<0>2748<0>3509<0>3686<0>3668<0>3968<0>3143<0>3894<0>2748<0>3377<0>3741<0>3096<0>2506<0>561<0>3437<0>3668<0>3832<0>3155<0>1485<0>9... |
And people started to say, you know what? I like that. Those five simple but really, really powerful words. And that's what we use now as our sort of rally cry for our foundation. If not me, then who? | <0>3003<0>1862<0>361<0>1730<0>1238<0>1675<0>1830<0>3592<0>2471<0>1318<0>3002<0>3850<0>3595<0>2161<0>2703<0>2365<0>229<0>3377<0>1800<0>405<0>4095<0>1289<0>771<0>3726<0>3003<0>3726<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>405<0>3466<0>3973<0>2549<0>3943<0>2197<0>361<0>2873<0>2549<0>424<0>290<0>3003<0>3726<0>3762<0>3762<0>3003<0>3466<0>789... |
We got a lot closer with Brendan. I mean, absolutely. Brendan was in seal training when we lost Travis. And I still remember that call with my wife. | <0>746<0>746<0>3045<0>3404<0>746<0>3437<0>3404<0>1007<0>3413<0>327<0>1675<0>2799<0>3732<0>3299<0>954<0>1649<0>1862<0>3822<0>561<0>2594<0>3762<0>4095<0>1108<0>382<0>2594<0>1944<0>1730<0>3299<0>2187<0>1944<0>3377<0>1730<0>1830<0>229<0>2299<0>229<0>229<0>386<0>2187<0>424<0>3296<0>3296<0>3296<0>3296<0>3296<0>2589<0>2589<0>... |
Uh, but yeaah, he would come and, and visit us and, and uh, still remember when he came back and he came right up to our place and, | <0>611<0>382<0>327<0>1031<0>374<0>1376<0>3003<0>77<0>1730<0>3437<0>3741<0>2152<0>679<0>3894<0>860<0>2488<0>652<0>2748<0>1800<0>561<0>2187<0>2840<0>2010<0>1944<0>1800<0>386<0>561<0>1277<0>648<0>2525<0>1710<0>368<0>3593<0>809<0>3340<0>1405<0>1800<0>1862<0>324<0>2187<0>1800<0>1862<0>561<0>382<0>1862<0>382<0>1346<0>4095<0>... |
Mostly people felt uncomfortable coming to visit the parents by themselves, so they'd come in groups. But when Brendan called up shortly after he got back, and I said, okay, who you coming up with, Brendan? He says, I'm coming by myself. | <0>679<0>3447<0>3791<0>2762<0>1730<0>1485<0>1730<0>361<0>1819<0>2594<0>898<0>3150<0>3413<0>1442<0>1331<0>3377<0>2594<0>2594<0>2864<0>2365<0>2049<0>2683<0>1079<0>1079<0>3097<0>3413<0>327<0>382<0>1238<0>382<0>1862<0>1329<0>4095<0>4095<0>1335<0>1730<0>2594<0>1710<0>2055<0>2435<0>2099<0>382<0>1862<0>3822<0>703<0>3299<0>366... |
We spent the night doing shots of Patrone at our bar and talking about stories of he and Travis and their friendship. | <0>324<0>3894<0>1261<0>1632<0>2549<0>3642<0>1854<0>1171<0>1777<0>2229<0>3585<0>1036<0>1108<0>4095<0>3388<0>2870<0>2010<0>3466<0>2036<0>746<0>1265<0>1463<0>2948<0>2488<0>2703<0>1545<0>3307<0>2187<0>407<0>1862<0>1862<0>3377<0>1463<0>379<0>2485<0>2410<0>1773<0>521<0>521<0>3377<0>521<0>521<0>521<0>3377<0>2703<0>104<0>365<0... |
Well, we, we knew, he was just sort of struggling with a loss in a big, big way and he wanted to, to be there and, you know, he was sharing that with my wife real strong and, uh, you know, he knew what Travis would want him to do is to carry on and, | <0>3222<0>3840<0>2748<0>3135<0>120<0>196<0>1108<0>3840<0>2152<0>369<0>3973<0>3686<0>2799<0>368<0>1022<0>1730<0>1858<0>679<0>229<0>679<0>1730<0>2152<0>2563<0>3181<0>513<0>1719<0>2773<0>3832<0>3447<0>3509<0>1719<0>3367<0>3832<0>2471<0>490<0>2748<0>2799<0>2826<0>3135<0>1007<0>3377<0>2748<0>2553<0>1405<0>1944<0>2187<0>2187... |
And so he did that, you know, and he, he sure did that in a big way out there in San Diego. | <0>3741<0>2525<0>3850<0>746<0>746<0>3176<0>2525<0>2769<0>1200<0>3437<0>3741<0>2272<0>3668<0>2594<0>2748<0>1200<0>2748<0>1238<0>3003<0>3003<0>294<0>2298<0>1779<0>2683<0>789<0>1034<0>4095<0>701<0>2875<0>77<0>3686<0>2187<0>1730<0>407<0>2799<0>3377<0>1862<0>2683<0>1912<0>3762<0>4095<0>133<0>1730<0>2875<0>1200<0>3437<0>2161... |
Yeah, well some of the guys who were there with him shared with me that it wasn't even close, even, you know, I mean, like, he was blowing everything away, so, he was, he was possessed as they, they showed. | <0>1022<0>809<0>151<0>2780<0>2051<0>1285<0>1335<0>75<0>1914<0>2958<0>694<0>1059<0>4079<0>3447<0>746<0>3791<0>1500<0>3480<0>2161<0>3437<0>3437<0>3155<0>3974<0>983<0>809<0>1862<0>1981<0>3541<0>1324<0>809<0>1238<0>716<0>3922<0>3437<0>1981<0>819<0>1238<0>553<0>3176<0>809<0>1730<0>77<0>1022<0>382<0>954<0>1265<0>2769<0>3585<... |
So much so that when uhm, when he got done and graduated and my wife Janet and I were at the wedding, | <0>333<0>365<0>4095<0>3003<0>751<0>770<0>3377<0>2594<0>3377<0>1800<0>1405<0>1449<0>374<0>2799<0>2769<0>374<0>679<0>1442<0>746<0>2152<0>3143<0>679<0>611<0>382<0>382<0>382<0>679<0>2875<0>2840<0>3003<0>4095<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2984<0>104<0>2799<0>151<0>561<0>2703<0>2875<0>746<0>374<0>746<0>3968<0>3... |
With Amy and Brendan, that he called Janet over and gave Janet his Navy Seal Trident. | <0>2924<0>954<0>3342<0>77<0>1335<0>2115<0>1944<0>386<0>3359<0>2940<0>2161<0>2830<0>701<0>701<0>1013<0>3114<0>361<0>3359<0>954<0>521<0>1295<0>361<0>1200<0>2244<0>1079<0>3299<0>2497<0>324<0>1748<0>3109<0>2695<0>4095<0>3003<0>4048<0>3741<0>2433<0>2161<0>3686<0>3151<0>484<0>2517<0>196<0>171<0>3437<0>3437<0>1800<0>2324<0>34... |
And, you know, he just did it privately. It was the way Brendan was. Gave it to her. And said, you know, I couldn't. | <0>701<0>3968<0>553<0>553<0>3968<0>561<0>684<0>1730<0>3404<0>2161<0>3637<0>2563<0>3234<0>1730<0>2099<0>2815<0>3877<0>1240<0>2324<0>3798<0>2187<0>1415<0>631<0>2952<0>3798<0>679<0>645<0>3155<0>3266<0>2010<0>290<0>290<0>1675<0>690<0>1328<0>1261<0>294<0>3377<0>1800<0>2748<0>382<0>2221<0>3171<0>1517<0>3340<0>1102<0>1145<0>3... |
And I was at the other end of the room and I still remember Janet coming up with tears in her eyes and sharing that story with me. It was just sort of the type of guy Brandon was, you know. | <0>1261<0>1944<0>3748<0>1328<0>368<0>2525<0>963<0>826<0>3509<0>1480<0>382<0>1240<0>3437<0>1238<0>1579<0>2060<0>382<0>2205<0>4095<0>3466<0>305<0>2589<0>2612<0>2612<0>2870<0>1036<0>2612<0>2589<0>3762<0>3686<0>2748<0>2221<0>3782<0>1850<0>219<0>2594<0>294<0>4095<0>2984<0>2984<0>2052<0>2984<0>2089<0>3003<0>2244<0>1730<0>344... |
You know, hard to believe, you know, he's there celebrating such a great day and then to find out that his honeymoon's in Fallujah. You know, I think, you know, you hear about | <0>1632<0>382<0>3180<0>1518<0>3798<0>2099<0>114<0>3762<0>2182<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>553<0>2748<0>1981<0>521<0>3447<0>679<0>2324<0>484<0>1480<0>3585<0>289<0>1261<0>1800<0>1862<0>492<0>3585<0>3585<0>2823<0>219<0>219<0>1449<0>815<0>652<0>2753<0>1117<0>490<0>3539<0>3373<0>1196<0>1339<0>2353<0>3894<0>3404<0>219<0>2161<0>39... |
We hear so much about our guys in uniform and what they're doing, but just sort of think about those types of sacrifices, you know, we don't hear enough of that stuff, you know, what the families are going through and missing those special times, you know, it's a big, big impact all the way around. | <0>1031<0>2152<0>1944<0>3447<0>3155<0>3377<0>2748<0>3377<0>3155<0>151<0>366<0>2488<0>3171<0>3171<0>361<0>1240<0>2549<0>2070<0>3642<0>3968<0>3822<0>3972<0>3453<0>1862<0>43<0>1862<0>2324<0>366<0>3143<0>3509<0>493<0>382<0>2324<0>2324<0>954<0>2875<0>3155<0>3155<0>3927<0>3347<0>2152<0>2116<0>838<0>3143<0>29<0>1675<0>2685<0>... |
Yeah, he eventually made it out there. Rob shared with me, but- Oh, he made it out too. | <0>684<0>3447<0>3585<0>368<0>746<0>746<0>3447<0>3155<0>426<0>561<0>561<0>1800<0>1800<0>1200<0>1862<0>88<0>2769<0>3402<0>2688<0>3803<0>4095<0>405<0>1862<0>2221<0>294<0>3839<0>240<0>3877<0>2396<0>1901<0>2010<0>1540<0>1171<0>294<0>2324<0>382<0>1108<0>2004<0>1476<0>2001<0>151<0>2633<0>1085<0>3909<0>2787<0>3821<0>3821<0>289... |
It was north of Karma, if you've ever been through Karma. I didn't go through Karma. | <0>3551<0>3480<0>746<0>2999<0>3447<0>3447<0>1157<0>491<0>824<0>652<0>495<0>361<0>3762<0>365<0>2594<0>229<0>2152<0>2769<0>1007<0>3515<0>374<0>1545<0>374<0>1442<0>2191<0>3377<0>2748<0>3972<0>1862<0>3299<0>3524<0>1649<0>1328<0>3377<0>1569<0>400<0>1800<0>2594<0>746<0>2199<0>3377<0>3404<0>1981<0>838<0>1200<0>2875<0>294<0>29... |
Yeah, so uhm, Karma's, when I was over there, they flew me out to Camp Felucia and then, uh, Karma's not too far away from Camp Felucia. It's a little, a little north of Karma. So the Iraqis, uhm, | <0>899<0>2703<0>1384<0>1830<0>838<0>2799<0>229<0>3404<0>2799<0>382<0>2324<0>2594<0>294<0>3003<0>2221<0>327<0>2221<0>3447<0>2060<0>1205<0>3340<0>1449<0>2924<0>3024<0>3003<0>4095<0>3762<0>4095<0>3762<0>1580<0>2799<0>3447<0>2748<0>3373<0>2769<0>746<0>2748<0>3373<0>3976<0>1862<0>2633<0>1730<0>2594<0>1007<0>3359<0>3539<0>24... |
Said they wanted to name the outpost after Travis, which was, you know, again for their recognition of what he put on the line for them. Yeah. | <0>2612<0>3762<0>1199<0>838<0>2060<0>3447<0>1007<0>3447<0>895<0>2703<0>2716<0>3509<0>2716<0>2549<0>1862<0>1442<0>2799<0>2769<0>212<0>1800<0>3143<0>2922<0>3370<0>1862<0>1862<0>1862<0>3155<0>954<0>679<0>1830<0>151<0>1730<0>1730<0>1730<0>631<0>1732<0>2278<0>2984<0>2187<0>2594<0>3822<0>3299<0>2815<0>3973<0>2984<0>2239<0>14... |
Yeah, his guys, you know, having a chance to talk to them, they, you know, everybody loved Brendan. I mean, he's just a great, great leader, right? | <0>1501<0>3447<0>729<0>1710<0>1205<0>729<0>3447<0>2703<0>3585<0>403<0>403<0>3296<0>2875<0>1862<0>2748<0>954<0>614<0>3003<0>3003<0>3466<0>3466<0>1938<0>1862<0>1022<0>2875<0>850<0>2703<0>3832<0>3429<0>1746<0>2799<0>611<0>1196<0>426<0>838<0>1800<0>3359<0>1095<0>3328<0>1730<0>3123<0>3803<0>75<0>2152<0>2748<0>2748<0>1862<0>... |
So that's Brendan's, just think about it, his 59th combat mission. And he's two weeks from coming home. | <0>3832<0>2284<0>3373<0>3373<0>2070<0>3064<0>1582<0>2547<0>1145<0>2778<0>3620<0>1036<0>3620<0>2589<0>415<0>2957<0>290<0>3762<0>3404<0>1200<0>2703<0>895<0>1200<0>895<0>212<0>403<0>1205<0>3749<0>1208<0>81<0>2089<0>81<0>2089<0>1106<0>2152<0>3155<0>212<0>809<0>2848<0>679<0>3377<0>3377<0>2875<0>1568<0>3585<0>3340<0>3340<0>2... |
And the new group comes in and who's the one guy that says, you know what, I'll go with the new guys and show them around. We've been out here the whole time. | <0>1979<0>1800<0>561<0>1710<0>3447<0>3840<0>2748<0>1981<0>1346<0>1531<0>3377<0>2324<0>3176<0>1100<0>3976<0>1238<0>2875<0>3741<0>2830<0>1730<0>1800<0>2594<0>2875<0>1329<0>1108<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2052<0>2984<0>2815<0>114<0>2646<0>3592<0>2152<0>2769<0>1007<0>1200<0>1862<0>561<0>3377<0>1200<0>1171<0>2506<0>3910<... |
I don't want them going out there without anyone. And that's Brandon Looney, you know, and he, he jumps in and, and, uh, helicopter went down and only one survived. | <0>3762<0>4077<0>3447<0>1007<0>1518<0>294<0>3299<0>196<0>3377<0>1007<0>3447<0>1800<0>866<0>1800<0>954<0>2991<0>3923<0>3377<0>382<0>1862<0>1862<0>1862<0>1862<0>1329<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2052<0>2052<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2589<0>1730<0>1800<0>2875<0>3837<0>2748<0>1800<0>2799<0>1862<0>1862<0>679<0>684<0>1329<0>11... |
Yeah, you know, you wonder why things happen the way they do, but we never had that talk with Travis, like what happens if you don't come back. | <0>2830<0>2769<0>3447<0>3585<0>3447<0>746<0>2152<0>2152<0>679<0>1376<0>77<0>1730<0>1800<0>227<0>3785<0>403<0>77<0>77<0>1448<0>1730<0>679<0>3297<0>2152<0>746<0>3143<0>2748<0>3377<0>382<0>3299<0>294<0>1329<0>4095<0>3003<0>1145<0>1145<0>1335<0>3973<0>1329<0>1981<0>2748<0>148<0>2497<0>1730<0>561<0>3900<0>3437<0>1338<0>382<... |
And when we lost him, my wife and I were like, well, we should have him near us here at home. So we buried him close by us and outside of Philadelphia. | <0>1959<0>746<0>746<0>746<0>2594<0>2497<0>1431<0>1145<0>3762<0>3973<0>2594<0>1007<0>2748<0>2799<0>1007<0>1007<0>770<0>1196<0>679<0>2799<0>1518<0>1981<0>2703<0>3143<0>2645<0>3447<0>3377<0>2324<0>1862<0>1777<0>3447<0>1329<0>3404<0>374<0>1777<0>2864<0>2683<0>23<0>871<0>679<0>3907<0>3713<0>1730<0>3447<0>1200<0>229<0>3359<0... |
So I called down to Arlington, they said, uh, yeaah, we can, we've reinterred, we can do that. Just let us know if you want that to happen and we'll make it happen. So uhm, we never got Travis situated. Never had a headstone. Had a wooden cross there. | <0>3478<0>366<0>1238<0>3404<0>3377<0>3373<0>2769<0>3437<0>83<0>3377<0>2221<0>2748<0>3509<0>826<0>1568<0>1862<0>2703<0>1730<0>3785<0>809<0>809<0>3526<0>361<0>3413<0>3413<0>3413<0>1800<0>2161<0>3437<0>3822<0>1238<0>679<0>3837<0>3376<0>151<0>3359<0>1277<0>679<0>289<0>1804<0>2703<0>3376<0>1238<0>3143<0>3377<0>3377<0>954<0>... |
And we kept talking about it, you know, and it's almost three years later. And my wife was the one that was most reluctant because she was visiting Travis every day and she just couldn't come to grips with making that decision. | <0>2244<0>3447<0>3447<0>1007<0>679<0>403<0>2703<0>382<0>1108<0>1108<0>3466<0>1108<0>365<0>593<0>898<0>3404<0>3472<0>3541<0>1238<0>1862<0>2191<0>3257<0>701<0>1095<0>465<0>1748<0>1108<0>77<0>386<0>561<0>1862<0>3972<0>151<0>3585<0>770<0>3373<0>382<0>3377<0>3155<0>403<0>83<0>1171<0>1730<0>2471<0>386<0>492<0>3447<0>1171<0>3... |
And then we get the call, the first person that, that Brendan's mom called was my wife Janet. When she got the news and we were just. | <0>1261<0>151<0>3447<0>679<0>386<0>374<0>2769<0>3840<0>3404<0>1200<0>2799<0>1022<0>2199<0>898<0>3447<0>2594<0>144<0>2799<0>2284<0>1022<0>1730<0>809<0>648<0>4095<0>4095<0>1108<0>1384<0>345<0>2324<0>1240<0>1730<0>3585<0>679<0>3377<0>1862<0>1238<0>2191<0>2748<0>2541<0>1883<0>2092<0>492<0>3176<0>2594<0>3359<0>1777<0>2365<0... |
Devastated. And we got down there and Amy came into town. She said, you know, I want, I want Brendan. | <0>2036<0>809<0>1579<0>2374<0>1196<0>3176<0>338<0>1491<0>3222<0>3693<0>3762<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2182<0>289<0>83<0>386<0>746<0>2883<0>648<0>1710<0>3413<0>382<0>386<0>3539<0>3539<0>3377<0>3822<0>553<0>746<0>1022<0>77<0>553<0>3509<0>2703<0>1526<0>3438<0>809<0>3539<0>2197<0>1022<0>240<0>3792<0>1133<0>1485<0>1730<... |
Next to Travis in Arlington. Now she knew she was at Travis' service. She knew Travis wasn't at Arlington, but maybe she'd forgotten. In the shock. And I know how that goes. You're just in total shock. | <0>2703<0>1944<0>1545<0>2185<0>1813<0>1804<0>3377<0>1862<0>229<0>2553<0>1855<0>1730<0>151<0>3515<0>3782<0>374<0>294<0>3707<0>2703<0>3437<0>3478<0>386<0>2152<0>679<0>838<0>3592<0>3840<0>679<0>252<0>3894<0>1022<0>3713<0>1485<0>2733<0>2715<0>3509<0>2087<0>1719<0>1715<0>746<0>366<0>1981<0>3478<0>3641<0>2875<0>374<0>3008<0>... |
And uhm, at that point, I could just see it in my, my wife's eyes. She said, this is it. This is, now we need to do this. She was ready to do it. And they moved mountains to make it happen. I mean, they, Department of the Army and Arlington, | <0>3842<0>1730<0>1730<0>746<0>2594<0>3359<0>2799<0>2799<0>2799<0>679<0>2187<0>2398<0>1145<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>133<0>1730<0>2185<0>1710<0>3437<0>1346<0>2799<0>304<0>2748<0>1409<0>2703<0>289<0>561<0>3176<0>3433<0>3785<0>3008<0>1730<0>3008<0>1171<0>2748<0>1777<0>3171<0>2940<0>1079<0>3018<0>2815<0>2... |
Moved. Helped us move Travis down there in two weeks. | <0>679<0>2799<0>1777<0>2324<0>3143<0>3386<0>3847<0>2051<0>3003<0>3003<0>3466<0>3466<0>3762<0>4095<0>3726<0>4095<0>3003<0>1108<0>2799<0>3943<0>543<0>144<0>3910<0>679<0>2799<0>3297<0>3133<0>1862<0>2748<0>2594<0>3792<0>2875<0>652<0>151<0>2703<0>1862<0>77<0>2152<0>679<0>1238<0>361<0>3024<0>860<0>3557<0>1382<0>3180<0>3263<0... |
And uhm, and then we laid, uh, Brendan that following Monday. They originally said, let's do this the same day. And I was like, well, no, this is, this is Brendan's day with just like a quiet ceremony. So we did it the Friday before and this quiet ceremony. | <0>553<0>1171<0>2703<0>2594<0>2152<0>2799<0>2799<0>1277<0>361<0>151<0>151<0>807<0>1238<0>382<0>1463<0>144<0>1587<0>553<0>493<0>3024<0>753<0>382<0>1265<0>954<0>3404<0>3437<0>838<0>386<0>3447<0>2199<0>2199<0>3377<0>2324<0>3509<0>3359<0>3373<0>2799<0>2185<0>1200<0>2187<0>1329<0>3003<0>4095<0>3466<0>2396<0>3447<0>3155<0>14... |
From Mannion Hall, down at where the officer school was. They have a hall named after Travis. They all showed up. And of course, the Looney's, you think about our service members, but the strength of the family is they insisted with all they were going through that they were going to be over there. And they were there... | <0>3386<0>2748<0>2594<0>3447<0>2703<0>1730<0>3509<0>3783<0>1200<0>1862<0>2864<0>1346<0>3222<0>2004<0>1145<0>290<0>9<0>2703<0>1862<0>1171<0>648<0>1329<0>196<0>3509<0>374<0>679<0>484<0>2594<0>593<0>3155<0>3732<0>196<0>229<0>3894<0>3873<0>382<0>954<0>611<0>327<0>2365<0>3359<0>3539<0>1214<0>1171<0>1384<0>2129<0>679<0>2708<... |
So we laid Travis down on that Friday and then Brennan the following Monday and Secretary Gates was there and all his Navy Seals were there to pay him respects and they put their tridents in his | <0>2105<0>1587<0>3894<0>3373<0>374<0>553<0>77<0>746<0>3437<0>3377<0>1022<0>770<0>1938<0>1800<0>3377<0>2748<0>1862<0>1214<0>3447<0>1007<0>2594<0>3877<0>2748<0>3822<0>3452<0>553<0>2197<0>3509<0>1730<0>1800<0>3990<0>493<0>2314<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>405<0>1007<0>3437<0>1800<0>679<0>2799<0>2199<0>366<0... |
You know, his coffin and it was a real emotional time, obviously. You know, just like, uh, such a, such a tough time. | <0>2830<0>3447<0>2594<0>2641<0>2200<0>2029<0>1707<0>1031<0>2221<0>1862<0>2594<0>2594<0>1800<0>361<0>3114<0>648<0>1346<0>9<0>3762<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>4095<0>2036<0>104<0>3894<0>492<0>374<0>3637<0>2762<0>1587<0>382<0>611<0>1518<0>3377<0>3143<0>3377<0>746<0>2284<0>366<0>1219<0>3413<0>2748<0>1862<0>1079<0>3299<0>... |
Yeah, so you, when you think about Section 60 and all the loss there and | <0>361<0>1710<0>2826<0>1205<0>1205<0>2934<0>2152<0>1730<0>151<0>2099<0>3328<0>1579<0>2152<0>623<0>212<0>3668<0>746<0>3143<0>2799<0>1777<0>3377<0>1777<0>3123<0>1632<0>3299<0>959<0>1145<0>1145<0>1145<0>1102<0>770<0>3976<0>3187<0>3155<0>3585<0>491<0>838<0>3008<0>3340<0>2132<0>386<0>1200<0>2221<0>1883<0>1442<0>1442<0>1883<... |
You know, symbolically there, Brendan and Travis. Great friends. | <0>2244<0>1800<0>2799<0>229<0>1432<0>1632<0>2278<0>2396<0>290<0>3155<0>1386<0>679<0>1777<0>1978<0>144<0>1579<0>294<0>3874<0>1200<0>1741<0>2365<0>2864<0>3377<0>3910<0>1200<0>895<0>850<0>3822<0>1240<0>1862<0>1318<0>770<0>403<0>2594<0>611<0>1329<0>3973<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>4095<0>3949<0>2748<0>1730<0>3143<0>2594<0>1862<... |
to go see Arlington and teach your family about that sacrifice and make sure you go to section 60 where | <0>2187<0>679<0>2799<0>1707<0>3878<0>3509<0>490<0>1862<0>2703<0>3497<0>1598<0>2594<0>382<0>493<0>1329<0>2870<0>3296<0>1800<0>2594<0>294<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3762<0>3762<0>3296<0>1730<0>703<0>2716<0>2594<0>3822<0>3822<0>3377<0>382<0>361<0>954<0>3180<0>1441<0>983<0>3340<0>1944<0>3377<0>611<0... |
All those heroes of today, of Iraq and Afghanistan are. There's always something that's happening in Section 60. | <0>327<0>2799<0>2799<0>2769<0>553<0>1730<0>2324<0>919<0>2152<0>648<0>2036<0>1730<0>1800<0>1200<0>237<0>237<0>1238<0>611<0>1862<0>1862<0>1862<0>361<0>3541<0>294<0>3143<0>2549<0>1200<0>770<0>3325<0>3452<0>327<0>2594<0>611<0>2683<0>543<0>3003<0>3726<0>3003<0>3003<0>75<0>3176<0>2799<0>1620<0>1463<0>8<0>1842<0>1265<0>3973<0... |
And after that, that, uh, September when we moved Travis in, that following, that following spring, the Navy SEALs found and killed Osama bin Laden. | <0>1261<0>3447<0>3437<0>2594<0>1773<0>2525<0>838<0>1710<0>3466<0>3762<0>3762<0>4095<0>3466<0>3910<0>583<0>838<0>3526<0>1376<0>648<0>2799<0>3180<0>382<0>2072<0>1108<0>1545<0>8<0>3593<0>3973<0>491<0>3437<0>2221<0>3404<0>1981<0>3783<0>1338<0>1862<0>2324<0>1620<0>1442<0>1813<0>83<0>1240<0>2324<0>2826<0>3832<0>809<0>1800<0>... |
And then a couple weeks later, the president spoke about Travis and Brendan as an example for the country in Arlington and his Memorial Day address. We were down there with the Looney's to hear that. | <0>3868<0>151<0>2703<0>3509<0>2921<0>2799<0>614<0>1422<0>492<0>369<0>2762<0>3943<0>809<0>3509<0>1862<0>1895<0>1335<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>3726<0>4095<0>3726<0>3726<0>1376<0>1335<0>2324<0>3509<0>3782<0>3821<0>1710<0>3373<0>1007<0>838<0>3132<0>2799<0>196<0>954<0>1620<0>2549<0>3003<0>2284<0>1862<0>1862<0>1022<0>3832<0>121... |
But again, their, their story is a story that could be anybody's story. There's so many in uniform that do so much. | <0>1777<0>746<0>386<0>368<0>838<0>746<0>2769<0>2748<0>807<0>645<0>3447<0>746<0>3832<0>3592<0>1007<0>2865<0>2541<0>3509<0>1730<0>2875<0>1730<0>919<0>3176<0>3637<0>2136<0>2857<0>3837<0>954<0>3833<0>2541<0>2748<0>1730<0>2875<0>2703<0>3388<0>1261<0>361<0>386<0>386<0>2161<0>2244<0>133<0>3762<0>3003<0>1376<0>133<0>2594<0>344... |
And for me, writing this book is, is telling their story but making sure it's part of that bigger story and that people appreciate our men and women in uniform and all they are and what they stand for. | <0>1301<0>3143<0>2748<0>1007<0>1200<0>3850<0>368<0>386<0>3404<0>1200<0>2875<0>679<0>2826<0>2875<0>1442<0>2799<0>1649<0>3686<0>1261<0>1171<0>3585<0>3340<0>744<0>2465<0>2465<0>2247<0>2247<0>2465<0>2247<0>2247<0>899<0>744<0>75<0>1730<0>3637<0>212<0>2799<0>1862<0>679<0>1800<0>1830<0>2769<0>679<0>1981<0>1862<0>361<0>611<0>3... |
Well, you know, as I shared earlier. | <0>196<0>746<0>652<0>327<0>1813<0>1730<0>746<0>2748<0>1007<0>2176<0>1710<0>2769<0>838<0>368<0>1377<0>4095<0>4095<0>3390<0>3907<0>3539<0>3447<0>2348<0>898<0>1867<0>3791<0>219<0>611<0>3299<0>648<0>1145<0>1335<0>3762<0>3762<0>3762<0>3762<0>3003<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
You know, we wanted to make sure we made an impact and we got the word out and part of that was my wife said, you know, I'm going to start a foundation and I wanted to be there for our veterans, make sure I'm supporting the families of the fallen. | <0>3143<0>3447<0>3404<0>2799<0>1007<0>374<0>2769<0>2594<0>3861<0>407<0>2733<0>1862<0>2748<0>3888<0>3359<0>3359<0>1800<0>1730<0>1800<0>1730<0>294<0>1384<0>3822<0>3143<0>2984<0>404<0>3359<0>2497<0>104<0>2594<0>679<0>3861<0>3437<0>327<0>3404<0>2615<0>1883<0>2799<0>807<0>1240<0>1777<0>3328<0>382<0>2594<0>1899<0>1800<0>294<... |
And the last part of it was making sure that we do something to support that next generation of leaders. So she started a character program, Character Does Matter, where we get veterans in front of young kids and talk about character and service and integrity and leadership. | <0>2769<0>1007<0>1007<0>355<0>3910<0>3386<0>2799<0>521<0>3539<0>1463<0>382<0>1277<0>1579<0>3637<0>1208<0>1335<0>327<0>2152<0>3176<0>2594<0>1730<0>212<0>1206<0>3214<0>3592<0>3404<0>3839<0>1442<0>679<0>2875<0>1022<0>679<0>770<0>374<0>2799<0>104<0>1800<0>648<0>3386<0>2826<0>703<0>679<0>3973<0>327<0>3972<0>2799<0>3003<0>40... |
And, you know, my wife started that. We, we had good friends that were there when we lost Travis. They said, you know what? You guys should set up a memorial fund in lieu of flowers. And we did that. | <0>1944<0>746<0>746<0>151<0>1730<0>2748<0>2748<0>83<0>229<0>83<0>553<0>1449<0>2762<0>3972<0>2733<0>1076<0>838<0>3437<0>3437<0>294<0>679<0>386<0>1442<0>553<0>151<0>361<0>746<0>386<0>3166<0>2199<0>3437<0>1710<0>703<0>3840<0>3888<0>3593<0>809<0>2471<0>2865<0>1007<0>144<0>1883<0>144<0>3832<0>3732<0>2715<0>2748<0>3378<0>212... |
And before we knew it, when we turned around and looked at the bank account, we had money coming in from all over the country and we had $200,000. My wife had $200,000 and she had those five words from Travis. If not me, then who? | <0>1959<0>1800<0>361<0>1730<0>1830<0>1007<0>2221<0>1981<0>382<0>2594<0>2152<0>2799<0>2324<0>1431<0>1580<0>2594<0>361<0>2875<0>1862<0>1200<0>1238<0>2365<0>1862<0>404<0>1862<0>327<0>3299<0>3762<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2984<0>3726<0>2984<0>3003<0>3003<0>104<0>3447<0>1858<0>2799<0>3132<0>151<0>3837<0>611<0>3377<0>120... |
And she got going with that, with those two things, and she came in every day, first started right in our kitchen, and started working it. | <0>2968<0>1730<0>2563<0>1730<0>703<0>3437<0>1944<0>3143<0>898<0>1200<0>3180<0>327<0>1346<0>374<0>1862<0>104<0>2815<0>1095<0>1579<0>2205<0>3447<0>3373<0>3176<0>3155<0>3861<0>294<0>1208<0>3592<0>679<0>1938<0>809<0>3539<0>3299<0>3832<0>858<0>1335<0>3762<0>75<0>1730<0>2152<0>686<0>2187<0>104<0>3892<0>2748<0>3972<0>809<0>18... |
And, you know, she worked it to, when we lost her, lost Janet, five years, almost five years to the day after Travis, we lost my wife to cancer. | <0>2161<0>3447<0>1200<0>2769<0>2769<0>553<0>374<0>1730<0>850<0>679<0>1981<0>2221<0>3973<0>1730<0>648<0>3325<0>1463<0>2799<0>3404<0>1575<0>3377<0>1007<0>2799<0>327<0>1518<0>770<0>1545<0>3822<0>1862<0>3507<0>290<0>3973<0>3973<0>1675<0>2799<0>3378<0>686<0>3437<0>1800<0>3038<0>1108<0>4095<0>365<0>2589<0>3973<0>437<0>348<0>... |
And I guess you, you know, you think about that, that sacrifice and the impact on the families. And I remember doing some research after we found out she had cancer and said she had a significant stressful event in the last four to five years. Yeah, you know, she lost her son. | <0>2594<0>2875<0>3585<0>2563<0>686<0>1730<0>684<0>2875<0>382<0>2875<0>2875<0>2161<0>1730<0>2353<0>382<0>3437<0>866<0>2769<0>3437<0>2875<0>3686<0>648<0>3003<0>3003<0>3726<0>1108<0>2703<0>1710<0>1205<0>838<0>1862<0>611<0>1007<0>2191<0>1265<0>171<0>3686<0>382<0>3377<0>196<0>2549<0>2715<0>196<0>2799<0>2799<0>2199<0>3822<0>... |
We think about that and then you think about Brendan's mom who recently died of cancer. Or JP Blexman's mom who died of cancer. You know, so the impact is significant across the board for our families and our guys and gals in uniform. | <0>3973<0>3075<0>2152<0>718<0>3447<0>3143<0>196<0>3377<0>2096<0>3873<0>1200<0>1800<0>151<0>3642<0>1463<0>437<0>386<0>361<0>3642<0>3377<0>1649<0>492<0>3437<0>2769<0>374<0>3143<0>679<0>2748<0>1862<0>3973<0>3762<0>3762<0>948<0>114<0>114<0>114<0>2589<0>1199<0>3466<0>3466<0>3003<0>1414<0>2594<0>679<0>229<0>1277<0>3973<0>215... |
So we got going on that and my daughter's picked it up since and she's doing a great job with it. She's working with a lot of great young people. Amy Looney's another one of the leaders of the foundation and she heads up operations in Washington DC. We've got an office here in San Diego. | <0>838<0>1858<0>1442<0>386<0>746<0>3437<0>289<0>1365<0>1200<0>3447<0>3782<0>3447<0>2525<0>3437<0>746<0>2769<0>1800<0>1710<0>2769<0>703<0>553<0>3592<0>3377<0>2875<0>2748<0>3404<0>151<0>3155<0>1318<0>587<0>3753<0>2934<0>484<0>2115<0>3340<0>809<0>382<0>1531<0>3260<0>3003<0>2612<0>3620<0>2247<0>1197<0>2589<0>1915<0>3968<0>... |
We've got one we just opened up in Atlanta. We're outside of Philadelphia, Washington. We're getting ready to open up an office in Chicago and we've got an office in Houston, Texas. And we're working with our veterans and helping them through transition. We're working with the families and you asked before is this, wa... | <0>3413<0>2799<0>1442<0>326<0>746<0>691<0>1238<0>327<0>2594<0>679<0>919<0>3155<0>1545<0>2799<0>1649<0>2549<0>1580<0>3359<0>327<0>327<0>1200<0>561<0>2703<0>382<0>3524<0>648<0>3003<0>3003<0>1108<0>1108<0>2864<0>2748<0>144<0>1545<0>2488<0>809<0>1938<0>348<0>1265<0>1620<0>1265<0>484<0>2199<0>2155<0>1265<0>3898<0>1883<0>274... |
We know that Travis would not want us to keep grieving. He'd want us to say, hey, let's go, you know, pick it up and get out there and, and do something and make a difference. | <0>1442<0>1007<0>3968<0>2594<0>2594<0>611<0>1384<0>809<0>3526<0>4095<0>3762<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2968<0>3447<0>3822<0>611<0>1384<0>3340<0>1830<0>362<0>1346<0>648<0>9<0>2864<0>3894<0>294<0>2799<0>3413<0>611<0>3299<0>1200<0>3377<0>2705<0>77<0>2187<0>77<0>2187<0>3973<0>611<0>3509<0>361<0>3299<0>3003<0>3003... |
And so we, we do that, you know, that's what we do every day. And we give some of the families a chance to do that too. We get families to go out and go on expeditions and help those that are in need build houses. | <0>3741<0>3668<0>3850<0>3447<0>1007<0>3840<0>1730<0>1409<0>196<0>679<0>2187<0>648<0>2152<0>2152<0>355<0>3437<0>3437<0>324<0>560<0>1800<0>2594<0>2799<0>2703<0>2769<0>3592<0>229<0>679<0>2875<0>1442<0>2748<0>1862<0>1730<0>2716<0>1804<0>679<0>3861<0>746<0>770<0>366<0>3791<0>2594<0>2748<0>3678<0>2748<0>386<0>227<0>975<0>553... |
And it's really great for them. You know, it's great to see them out there doing something in honor of their lost one, loved one, and making an impact for others. | <0>2187<0>1944<0>1730<0>1730<0>3637<0>3732<0>3299<0>2703<0>3956<0>926<0>1730<0>701<0>701<0>1050<0>1108<0>3003<0>1335<0>2010<0>1145<0>1442<0>2748<0>3539<0>289<0>2594<0>2197<0>3923<0>382<0>2924<0>2244<0>1800<0>2799<0>3832<0>3949<0>1902<0>2716<0>2029<0>155<0>1964<0>658<0>3839<0>3509<0>1862<0>3413<0>611<0>1899<0>3509<0>202... |
Yeah, they can go on our website, travismanian.org. Okay. Got a lot of information there. We're around the country doing different things. We've got offices in some locations, but we've got activities almost everywhere. | <0>1730<0>1579<0>386<0>3359<0>3404<0>1518<0>2748<0>1902<0>545<0>490<0>1579<0>770<0>3791<0>3976<0>2875<0>1376<0>407<0>2715<0>1862<0>3155<0>3359<0>2488<0>1862<0>3509<0>374<0>898<0>1265<0>954<0>1819<0>611<0>2868<0>1414<0>1649<0>1031<0>3509<0>3662<0>3393<0>290<0>1031<0>3437<0>2799<0>2339<0>3377<0>898<0>2252<0>3892<0>2594<0... |
And uhm, for us it's about joining the If Not Me Then Who movement. You know, making a difference wherever you can and you can do that in a lot of different ways. That's awesome. | <0>2029<0>1730<0>1730<0>1730<0>2875<0>746<0>3377<0>3377<0>361<0>2099<0>3973<0>1335<0>3003<0>3386<0>1500<0>898<0>3377<0>3002<0>2826<0>1938<0>1579<0>652<0>191<0>703<0>2748<0>2703<0>3373<0>1463<0>3892<0>2703<0>3075<0>3377<0>3359<0>3968<0>3585<0>2703<0>1730<0>382<0>679<0>3840<0>196<0>3299<0>237<0>2492<0>1145<0>1335<0>3762<... |

Yeah, well I just, uhm, I want to thank you guys. Thanks Jaco and Echo for having me here and giving me the opportunity to talk about the story a little bit.

The lessons that you've learned, Jaco, in the Navy SEALs and sharing that with others and bringing new insights about our men and women in uniform.
