Feeling at peace with himself
I feel so fulfilled with what I’ve been able to do and experience in life that I’m totally at peace with myself, for what I’ve done. And if you’d ask me, or anyone, would you do anything different in your life? Absolutely not. Including war experiences, including everything else, if I had a chance to live it over again I’d do the same thing.
