The first time he was in Iraq was in 2004 to 2005. I was his driver and I drove more than 10,000 miles around Iraq doing convoy with Col. Roberts. We saw a lot together and always respect him a lot because that a man is so simple and good leader.

I went through the AMEDD Officer Advanced Course at the Academy of Health Sciences. He was the most down to earth man.
