Afghanistan veteran talks about working with Pete (video) [View all]

Emmy Eide, also served in intelligence in Afghanistan, now living and working in North Carolina. Now retired from the military, but her husband is still in the military, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina

some key phrases:
She noted how humble Pete was, despite dazzling resume
a natural leader: "I would follow him into battle"
"a servant leader"
"walks into a room ready to listen and to learn" (as opposed to walking into a room ready to be heard)
She noted how hard he worked, and that he volunteered to help children in his free time.
