“It's always, I imagine the stories, and I hope you share some of that with us when you speak here in just a few minutes, Chief Webb. I imagine being over there was probably the most emotional portion of this all, but just the last clip kind of getting you guys back home, I think to me is what really gets us.

Thank you.”
