01:28.870 --> 01:31.970
Sergeant johnson Army to honor my

01:31.980 --> 01:34.520
father and his father before him . So

01:35.940 --> 01:38.170
my name is Matthew Rosa . I'm from

01:38.180 --> 01:40.347
Houston texas and I joined the army to

01:40.347 --> 01:42.402
pay for my education because I would

01:42.402 --> 01:44.347
like to study to become a doctor .

01:49.540 --> 01:51.373
And after talking to them I just

01:51.373 --> 01:53.373
realized would be something I would

01:53.373 --> 01:55.990
want to do . But it wasn't until basic

01:55.990 --> 01:59.230
camp that I met people that had the

01:59.240 --> 02:01.407
moral compass that I was looking for .

02:01.407 --> 02:03.629
And that was really interesting because

02:03.629 --> 02:05.796
that just kept going throughout my art

02:05.796 --> 02:08.310
in secret . Uh , well I had eight years

02:08.310 --> 02:11.200
in initially . So uh , my plan to start

02:11.200 --> 02:12.978
out with was to retire from the

02:12.978 --> 02:15.200
military . That's kind of what I always

02:15.200 --> 02:17.422
wanted to do . So I want to get back in

02:17.422 --> 02:19.533
and finish out my career and I served

02:19.533 --> 02:18.460
my country .
