| 0:00.0 | Dude, two members of our military rescues, and I want to talk about the mechanics of that, but I can't. I've never served. Fortunately, my friend Michael Rourke knows what he's talking about. He's a retired Special Forces operative. He's done things like this. And there are things he can tell us, and there's things he can't. So we'll respect that. We'll talk with Michael Rourke with the help of God Almighty and the special help today. |
| 0:23.0 | A bone frog coffee, bonefrog coffee.com slash Todd started by a Navy SEAL, a medic deployed three times on our behalf into this region. |
| 0:32.0 | And every single bag says in a God country team. |
| 0:35.1 | And in a weekend where people are shot down on the Good Friday, gone for a day, and rescued on Resurrection Sunday. |

| 1:39.3 | my friend. How you doing? Morning, Todd. What a great day to be back with you. |
| 1:43.8 | Very much so. I want to start by laying some groundwork for something that I think |
| 1:49.5 | has been lost in, not to military culture, but to civilian culture. We Christians say no greater |
| 1:56.8 | love has man than to lay down his life for a brother. And in the military, you guys |
| 2:00.8 | operate with a code that no man will be left behind. A, I don't know that young people know that. |
| 2:06.8 | And B, I don't think we civilians really get it to this day what that means to you guys. |
| 2:12.5 | Yeah, it's an ethos we live by. I mean, it's so ingrained into our military culture that we are still to this day searching for the missing in action from World War II. |
