Hello, welcome to another Free Range American podcast episode.

Today is a special treat.

One of my new friends, one of someone that's,

So, yeah, when did you, when did you attend? You were in Annapolis. You went to the Naval Academy. When did you attend out there?

So I graduated in class of 2002. So it was, you know, certainly a unique time period. We were, you know,
