1. Ken Burchell:

   We certainly do hoist rescues, we do med-evacs, we search for snipers, we do aerial coordination, we do all of those things, but at Navy Yard, we had to do all those things at once, and that was a huge challenge.

2. James Denton:

   Even though we had traded some emails and texts – Teri went to chef school right after ‘Housewives,’ I moved to Minnesota – we did stay in touch… but we realized we’d never seen each other, we’d never been in the same place physically since she drove away from my ghost in the front yard, but it’s one of those kinds of friendships – and I have this with Dean [Cain] from ‘Superman’ – where you don’t necessarily see each other all the time, or even talk all that often, but just know that if you needed something, we’re there for each other.

3. Vonda Knox:

   I would just sit out on the porch and watch their yard, where the girls used to play, the yard began to deteriorate, and the weeds grew up. The house also deteriorated.

5. Ben Carson:

   Well of course he's going to receive criticism because you have to recognize that there has been an attempt to divide the Black community since slavery, you'd tell the slaves that worked in the house they were better than the ones in the yard, the ones in the yard that they were better than the ones in the field. After slavery the light skinned ones were better than the medium skinned ones.
