| [00:18.71] | I ,I don't know...I never got to meet him. His name is Charles. |
| [00:23.07] | They called him Charlie. |
| [00:24.94] | And when... when Charlie, who was my dad's older brother, |
| [00:29.04] | and when Charlie was in high school, |
| [00:31.79] | he had really big plans. |
| [00:33.28] | He was gonna go on, maybe a doctor, |
| [00:35.87] | held all these grand grand plans, you know, really smart guy. |
| [00:40.33] | And he heard JFK, he heard his president, |
| [00:42.76] | he gave beautiful speech, |
| [00:44.99] | and he was so moved by the words of this leader |
| [00:47.67] | that he changed the whole future put it on the whole... |
| [00:50.18] | And he said, ”I'm gonna serve my country. I'm gonna volunteer to go to war.” |
| [00:58.10] | I never got to, I never got to meet my uncle because of that choice, |
| [01:00.67] | you know, because of that choice. |
