Lauren:
Ma'am, my grandfather was in Vietnam. And when my daddy would sit on his knee and asked him,'Daddy what did you do in the war?', he would say 'Son, you don't wanna know.' And my Dad, he was in Gulf War I. When he would come home, I would sit on his knee and I would say, 'Daddy what did you do in the war?' And he would look at me and say, 'Lauren, you don't wanna know.' And the thing is when they said that, they weren't making me choose between what was true and what I loved. They were keeping it simple. So when I go home and sit my baby girl on my knee, and she looks up at me with her big, beautiful, brown eyes, and she says 'Mommy, what did you do in the war?', I'm gonna look at her and say 'Baby, I did right.' I did right!
