00:04.099 --> 00:06.710
When I was growing up , it was still

00:06.719 --> 00:10.479
socialist country . When I was in sixth

00:10.489 --> 00:12.800
grade , the society has changed .

00:14.539 --> 00:16.595
I have lived through these different

00:16.595 --> 00:19.000
societies so I can compare and contrast .

00:19.010 --> 00:21.489
And that really helped me appreciate

00:21.500 --> 00:24.750
the freedom we have today . I think

00:24.760 --> 00:26.927
that's something probably pushed me to

00:26.927 --> 00:30.260
serve in the US army because I see how

00:30.270 --> 00:32.990
precious this freedom is and how

00:33.000 --> 00:34.709
important democracy is .

00:36.939 --> 00:39.840
It's such an honor to be invited to

00:39.849 --> 00:43.080
Mongolia . I'm here at Conquest and I'm

00:43.090 --> 00:45.860
teaching Mongolian military attorneys ,

00:45.869 --> 00:49.009
international armed conflict law and

00:49.020 --> 00:52.889
other legal topics . I am

00:52.900 --> 00:55.990
humbled by this opportunity . I cherish

00:56.000 --> 00:59.709
this time to be back with my culture

00:59.720 --> 01:02.389
that I grew up in and be able to

01:02.400 --> 01:04.959
contribute whatever I can get back to

01:04.970 --> 01:08.129
the community . I grew up in . Thank

01:08.139 --> 01:08.360
you .
