informational workshop opportunity

01:18.169 --> 01:20.336
throughout my whole air force career .

01:20.336 --> 01:22.950
Just the support that knowing that you

01:25.250 --> 01:27.660
with other individuals and like minds

01:27.660 --> 01:31.350
and you all are in sync with one goal

01:31.360 --> 01:33.920
of getting the message out about how

01:33.920 --> 01:35.960
good the Air Force wounded warrior

01:35.960 --> 01:38.520
program . So this event has really made

01:38.520 --> 01:41.370
me feel liberated and somewhat

strong minded individuals . This event

has let me know it's okay for me to let

01:52.070 --> 01:54.520
my guard down and be vulnerable . And I

01:54.520 --> 01:56.687
think that's what people need to see .

01:56.687 --> 01:58.909
They need to see your true self . After

01:58.909 --> 02:01.020

It's okay to have bad days , and it's

02:06.770 --> 02:09.020
okay to be who you are . And that's all

02:09.020 --> 02:11.076
you could be , is who you are . So I

02:11.076 --> 02:13.610
have to remind myself , I'm just me and

02:13.610 --> 02:15.970
that's that's all I have to be . It is

02:23.880 --> 02:25.824
have to get the word out about the

02:25.824 --> 02:27.940
