00:00.000 --> 00:01.860
- My name's Sergeant Tyler Knox.

00:01.860 --> 00:03.620
I'm from Brandon, Mississippi

00:03.620 --> 00:06.330
and I'm a medic with 2nd 198.

00:06.330 --> 00:08.880
To me being a veteran is, it's a title

00:08.880 --> 00:12.560
that you have to earn,
that you're not given.

00:12.560 --> 00:15.190
You can't buy it, so it's something

00:15.190 --> 00:16.490
that you can take pride in.

00:16.490 --> 00:17.680
It means selfless service.

00:17.680 --> 00:21.300
It means passing up spending
time with your family

00:21.300 --> 00:22.390
and spending time with your loved ones

00:22.390 --> 00:23.660
to come out here and serve this country

00:23.660 --> 00:24.590
and give back to a country

00:24.590 --> 00:26.383
that's given so much to all of us.
