00:00.159 --> 00:02.381
For this year's air show , most excited

00:02.381 --> 00:05.030
to see the Huey's flying overhead .

00:05.280 --> 00:07.599
What I love is seeing the aircraft that

00:07.599 --> 00:10.390
I fly , doing good stuff and , uh ,

00:10.399 --> 00:12.566
making a difference . I connect to the

00:12.566 --> 00:15.430
theme of Legacy based on my father . He

00:15.430 --> 00:18.239
was in the military up until about 1983 ,

00:18.319 --> 00:21.040
did a 23 year career and he ended up

00:21.040 --> 00:24.200
becoming a navigator on the EC-47 . He

00:24.200 --> 00:26.159
was deployed to Vietnam during the

00:26.159 --> 00:29.559
Vietnam War several times . And he

00:29.559 --> 00:31.639
ended up getting shot down almost on

00:31.639 --> 00:33.806
his last mission for his second tour .

00:37.349 --> 00:39.869
It's honestly something that I didn't

00:39.869 --> 00:42.091
realize at the time , but when I joined

00:42.091 --> 00:44.091
the military , I ended up basically

00:44.091 --> 00:46.590
doing the same job as him and then , as

00:46.590 --> 00:48.939
luck would have it , uh , I ended up

00:49.150 --> 00:51.094
getting into the personal recovery

00:51.094 --> 00:54.060
world as a code of conduct instructor

00:54.470 --> 00:57.709
and then I ended up on the same . Air

00:57.709 --> 00:59.820
frame that ended up picking him up in

00:59.820 --> 01:02.259
Vietnam and I still fly Vietnam era

01:02.259 --> 01:04.290
aircraft to this day . This is the

01:04.290 --> 01:06.179
Joint Base Andrews Air Show where

01:06.179 --> 01:07.360
legacy fuels the future .
