00:12

There's a man by the name of Captain

00:15

William Swenson

00:17

who recently was awarded the congressional Medal of Honor

00:20

for his actions on September 8, 2009.

00:25

On that day, a column of American

00:27

and Afghan troops

00:29

were making their way

00:30

through a part of Afghanistan

00:33

to help protect

00:36

a group of government officials,

00:37

a group of Afghan government officials,

00:39

who would be meeting with some local

00:42

village elders.

00:43

The column came under ambush,

00:45

and was surrounded on three sides,

00:48

and amongst many other things,

00:51

Captain Swenson was recognized

00:52

for running into live fire

00:55

to rescue the wounded

00:56

and pull out the dead.

01:00

One of the people he rescued was a sergeant,

01:03

and he and a comrade were making their way

01:05

to a medevac helicopter.

01:08

And what was remarkable about this day

01:10

is, by sheer coincidence,

01:12

one of the medevac medics

01:13

happened to have a GoPro camera on his helmet

01:16

and captured the whole scene on camera.

01:21

It shows Captain Swenson and his comrade

01:24

bringing this wounded soldier

01:25

who had received a gunshot to the neck.

01:30

They put him in the helicopter,

01:33

and then you see Captain Swenson bend over

01:37

and give him a kiss

01:40

before he turns around to rescue more.

01:44

I saw this, and I thought to myself,

01:48

where do people like that come from?

01:50

What is that? That is some deep, deep emotion,

01:53

when you would want to do that.

01:55

There's a love there,

01:57

and I wanted to know why is it that

01:59

I don't have people that I work with like that?

02:02

You know, in the military, they give medals

02:03

to people who are willing to sacrifice themselves

02:06

so that others may gain.

02:08

In business, we give bonuses to people

02:10

who are willing to sacrifice others

02:11

so that we may gain.

02:13

We have it backwards. Right?

02:17

So I asked myself, where do people like this come from?

02:18

And my initial conclusion was that they're just better people.

02:22

That's why they're attracted to the military.

02:23

These better people are attracted

02:25

to this concept of service.

02:27

But that's completely wrong.

02:29

What I learned was that it's the environment,

02:31

and if you get the environment right,

02:34

every single one of us has the capacity

02:35

to do these remarkable things,

02:37

and more importantly, others have that capacity too.
