But I never once ever even thought of disrespecting the men and women who went to fight there. And your response to a women who couldn't even look you in the eye when she realized that she was talking to a career military man, with four Purple Hearts (and I am willing to give long, long odds that you have a number of other medals as well) to his credit is the kind of grace under pressure that makes the US Military the envy of other nations.

Thank you, sir, for your service and for showing how 'When they go low, we go high'!
