1
00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:02,349
Uh the Thai army has a saying , it says 

2
00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:05,539
uh if you wanna go fast , go alone . If 

3
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:08,229
you wanna go long meaning to endure , 

4
00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:11,550
you do it together during the outcome 

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,229
of the pol pot regime that took over 

6
00:00:14,239 --> 00:00:16,469
Cambodia for a good period of time . In 

7
00:00:16,479 --> 00:00:18,909
the eighties . My family fled over to 

8
00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:22,270
the border and settled in a little town 

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,709
called Sako , but specifically there 

10
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:26,780
was a Thai refugee camp called Kan . 

11
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:30,709
Now where I am now here , I'm in the 

12
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:33,729
United States Army E seven green beret . 

13
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:36,171
And to be back here in the homeland , 

14
00:00:36,171 --> 00:00:39,259
it's uh it's very um it's almost unreal . 

15
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:42,040
So in bringing back uh what bit of 

16
00:00:42,049 --> 00:00:43,827
experience that I have uh in my 

17
00:00:43,827 --> 00:00:45,799
military background to um our 

18
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:48,619
counterparts here in Thailand . It is 

19
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:52,400
again , just synonymous with like a 

20
00:00:52,409 --> 00:00:54,353
brother , reaching out and helping 

21
00:00:54,353 --> 00:00:54,599
another brother .
