It's all about this older. 11:56.030 --> 11:59.180 And what they need to staying games. There's perhaps no one of 11:59.180 --> 12:02.240 the unit will been is is more than staff sargent. Rolled david working. 12:03.320 --> 12:06.460 We're tina has has been with this unit from 19 years we made 12:06.460 --> 12:09.790 it his goal to prove that one person can make a difference is 12:09.790 --> 12:12.780 enthusiasms of this unit and the armor is or of caught on and 12:12.780 --> 12:15.910 the to seven seven sas are emerging as home approach by packed 12:15.910 --> 12:19.430 together from a fog of so he does that a lot with all the other 12:19.610 --> 12:23.500 prospective in ceos and I thought those great because the exxon 12:23.640 --> 12:27.300 and spend time with me to pack a together and crisp and the right direction. 12:27.300 --> 12:30.350 So now I try doodle to the soldiers tremor 35 he's. 12:31.670 --> 12:34.860 A cornerstone of what the two so we're seven was and is to there's 12:34.860 --> 12:38.580 there he was a somebody that everybody radiated to because he 12:38.580 --> 12:42.830 was he was open he wanted to share their knowledge.
