I think there was nine 01:08:26.684 --> 01:08:29.640 people in the stands . What I remember 01:08:29.649 --> 01:08:32.339 most about that day was just wanting to 01:08:32.350 --> 01:08:36.019 get away from here feeling free 01:08:36.329 --> 01:08:38.551 deciding when I would get up what I was 01:08:38.551 --> 01:08:40.958 going to eat when I was gonna eat what 01:08:40.969 --> 01:08:43.729 I was gonna do and , and do so without 01:08:43.738 --> 01:08:45.460 the general persuasion and the 01:08:45.460 --> 01:08:47.682 thoughtful light of our drill sergeants 01:08:47.682 --> 01:08:50.729 and provided I am sure there was a 01:08:50.740 --> 01:08:52.796 guest speaker that day that tried to 01:08:52.796 --> 01:08:54.919 provide some form of encouragement or 01:08:54.930 --> 01:08:57.359 excitement to the crowd , but I can't 01:08:57.370 --> 01:08:59.537 remember that .

More people will crowd 01:10:14.540 --> 01:10:17.020 into a stadium in January to watch the 01:10:17.029 --> 01:10:19.149 Super Bowl that , that there are 01:10:19.160 --> 01:10:21.327 infantry soldiers in the United States 01:10:21.327 --> 01:10:23.890 army standing between those 01:10:24.299 --> 01:10:26.890 individuals and anyone that needs them 01:10:26.899 --> 01:10:29.799 harm .
