Grappling with the enemy up close like that.
Your friend's death. You were right there with him.
Can't be easy talking to a roomful of strangers about those things.
It is sort of weird being honored for the worst day of your life.
It's like...
Never mind.
So, what's it like being a cheerleader?
You really want to know?
Yeah. I really do. Really.
Well, it's great.
I mean, people see us on TV,
and they think that's all there is to it.
You know, dancing and having fun,
but community service is actually the main part of our job.
Visiting hospitals, working with underprivileged kids,
stuff like that, you know?
To me, that's been the most satisfying thing about being a cheerleader,
serving others. The spiritual aspect of it.
Billy, are you a Christian?
I'm searching.
Do you pray?
Not as much as I should.
I never got much from going to church,
but then in Iraq, in the middle of all this shooting,
my friend Shroom, Sergeant Breem, gets hit.
He's just, you know, lying there, bleeding out.
And when I go to him, suddenly, for the first time in my life,
I feel close to something...
I don't know, bigger than myself.
And when Shroom died, I felt something passing through me,
Like his soul or...
I don't know.
Most of the time, that's how it works.
Life gets so dark, and we think all the light's gone out of us,
but it's always there.
If we just open the door a crack, the light comes pouring in.
You know how we kept looking at each...
I think God wanted us to meet today.
We are all called to be his lights out in the world.
And I truly believe that we...
Look, if you couldn't deliver, why'd you tell the guys that number?
Now they think they're coming home to Jacuzzis and shit.
I told them a lot of things have to happen.
- Jesus, what happened to you? - Nothing.
Why do you look like you just got laid?
