00:02.252 --> 00:05.799

B-R-O-D-E-R-I-C-K D-E-A-R-M-A-S.

00:12.426 --> 00:15.926
Staff sergeant and I'm from Mesa, Arizona.

00:16.113 --> 00:18.053
- [Interviewer] Okay, and why are you here

00:18.053 --> 00:20.469
at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl?

00:20.469 --> 00:22.369
- I'm here with my team, the Golden Knights,

00:22.369 --> 00:23.956
as an aviation representative.

00:23.956 --> 00:25.484
I'm a crew chief for the team

00:25.484 --> 00:27.661
and we're here to support the All-American Bowl

00:27.661 --> 00:31.049
and the overall army mission to show our potential

00:31.049 --> 00:33.716
and support the activity itself.

00:34.337 --> 00:37.200
- [Interviewer] Okay, and do you interact with people

00:37.200 --> 00:38.850
here at the All-American Bowl

00:38.850 --> 00:40.142
and how do you think they feel

00:40.142 --> 00:42.485
about meeting a Golden Knight?

00:42.485 --> 00:44.682
- Yeah we take as much opportunity as we can

00:44.682 --> 00:46.046
to interact with everyone here

00:46.046 --> 00:49.812
and I feel that it's a good opportunity for both sides,

00:49.812 --> 00:52.066
for us and for them, to see what we do

00:52.066 --> 00:54.483
because it's not all the time

00:54.531 --> 00:56.733
that you get to see members of the army

00:56.733 --> 00:58.750
and the Golden Knights come out and talk to people

00:58.750 --> 01:01.636
and share our story and see, you know,

01:01.636 --> 01:05.166
what they think of us and what we think of them.

01:05.166 --> 01:09.092
- [Interviewer] How do you feel when you see the players

01:09.092 --> 01:13.175
as well as the band members wear the army colors?

01:13.355 --> 01:16.489
And they're kind of representing the army

01:16.489 --> 01:18.146
because they are the best of the best.

01:18.146 --> 01:20.234
They're the best athletes and the best band members

01:20.234 --> 01:21.341
in the country, how do you feel

01:21.341 --> 01:22.821
when you see them wearing the army colors?

01:22.821 --> 01:26.988
- I'm proud, I'm proud that there's that team, that pride.

01:27.866 --> 01:30.681
And not only is the army colors the army colors,

01:30.681 --> 01:33.723
but it's another set of colors for the United States,

01:33.723 --> 01:35.485
so just to see that pride

01:35.485 --> 01:39.153
and that support all across the board is very humbling.

01:39.153 --> 01:40.976
- [Interviewer] And why did you join the army?

01:40.976 --> 01:42.757
- I joined the army for numerous reasons,

01:42.757 --> 01:44.472
to get a good education,

01:44.472 --> 01:47.722
but overall just to support my country.

01:47.854 --> 01:49.104
- [Interviewer] And why do you think

01:49.104 --> 01:51.861
the army's such a powerful team for the nation?

01:51.861 --> 01:54.611
- Cohesion, unity, understanding,

01:55.820 --> 01:58.201
in the end we all have different missions,

01:58.201 --> 02:00.140
but it's all the same in the end.

02:00.140 --> 02:04.223
Protect and serve and live up this great country.

02:04.544 --> 02:05.781
- [Interviewer] Alright, thank you very much.

02:05.781 --> 02:06.614
- Thank you.
