[0:16] Great.
[0:16] Well, would you tell him to give me my warmest regards and tell him, as I've often said, that I feel that I consider him as the same as I consider anybody who's been wounded in battle, and that we're going to get exactly the same treatment.
[0:32] You know, we've got VA facilities, and if he ever has anything he wants, he has only the phone to pick up and call me.
[0:40] Right.
[0:40] In the meantime, I want to tell you we appreciate the way you're slamming these people a bit.
