00:00 Y'all wanna know what it's like to be us?
00:02 This is what it is.
00:03 Tonight, you're writing what we call a death letter
00:07 to your loved ones, as if you're not coming home.
00:09 What would you wanna say to your mom, your dad, friends?
00:14 - It's hard to think about.
00:17 - It is hard to think about, but you gotta think about it.
00:19 You're gonna write this, and you're gonna read them.
00:23 To each other.
00:24 Get to it.
00:29 (somber music)
00:31 As a special forces operator, you're only too aware
00:36 of the fragility of your life.
00:38 It's always in the forefront of your mind
00:40 that you could die, and that is it.
00:42 - Any volunteers for first?
00:45 - I can go first.
00:47 Just giving you a warning, I'm gonna cry.
00:51 Mom, there's not a word to describe how grateful I am
00:57 for your guidance and push throughout my life.
01:00 Dad, the fun wild parent, you have pulled me out
01:03 of dark times when you didn't even know it.
01:05 I love you forever and ever, more than you could imagine.
01:10 - Well done, JoJo.
01:12 - Thank you.
01:15 - Dad, everything I have achieved is a testament
01:23 to how amazing of a dad you are.
01:25 I could never thank you enough.
01:27 (JoJo crying)
01:29 Mom, sometimes it is so hard to believe you're gone.
01:33 Dad and I miss you every day, and I would give anything
01:38 to see you and hug you and tell you I love you
01:40 one more time.
01:41 - It takes all sorts to be in the special forces.
01:44 It isn't necessarily the biggest, the fastest,
01:47 or the strongest.
01:48 It's about psychological robustness.
01:53 - Mom, thank you for always accepting me for who I am.
01:58 So much of,
02:02 so much of who I am is because of you.
02:09 The amazing example you always set, Tom.
02:15 You guys got me all worked up.
02:21 (somber music)
02:23 To my fiance, Natalie.
02:27 Having you by my side always gave me the courage
02:30 that I could face any challenge because I had you.
02:34 I'm so sorry I won't be there.
02:37 I'm so sorry I won't be with you
02:44 to raise our baby together.
02:46 You're the greatest love of my life, Nick.
02:50 (somber music)
02:53 All right.
02:56 My kids.
02:58 You are the coolest, most exciting,
03:08 most fun little humans I could have had in my life.
03:11 I love you.
03:12 I'm proud to be your dad.
03:14 And then just Emmy.
03:16 (somber music)
03:19 I've missed you so much.
03:22 I'm coming to see you, Mom, Dad.
03:27 So tough.
03:36 (dramatic music)
03:43 (upbeat music)
