In the end, could it actually be "the opposite of war" that soldiers miss?  Watch »

  Wow! What a beautiful and inspiring speech!
As in his other speeches, Andrew has a very humble and humane way of reframing human experience. It's a breath of fresh air to watch how he forges meaning from painful experiences.
All I hope is that his message is spread all over so that each person finds peace and purpose in building identity and practicing empathy!"
