Responsibilities for young people, young women and men, their parents, families, as they consider military service, what would you tell them why they ought to choose the army . Why they ought to choose the army. I think its an interesting question, because i go to basic training. I was just down in fort jackson a couple of weeks ago.

And the next thing i know, a nurse in the icu, a doctor comes in, heres what we have to do for the patient. And they listen to the doctor. Es, right. Any rate, what i was thinking about, carol, is that i believe almost every nurse in the twoyear period who took care of bo showed up and waited as long as five hours in line at wilmington, delaware, to be at his viewing and funeral, which is a hell of a testament to the nurses but also a testament to our children. Look, carol has taken her celebrity and focused it on this fight for a long, long time. And i dont think any of us can thank her enough.
