And I'll end with this, which is a sad story.
When I came back, I went to the University
to sign up for my GI Bill and I saw this guy
and he looked kind of familiar, but I didn't know who he was,
he was wearing kind of a fatigue hat or something like that.
And so he called me by my name and I walked up and suddenly
realized who he was.
It was a friend from years and years and years and years back.
When you know we were little mocosos playing around.
And it was hard to kind of distinguish his face
because when you get shrapnel, you can get it
in all different sizes.
And he would look like he had just
been splashed with black [INAUDIBLE] or something,
unbelievable.
And then you'll see what else happened to him.
"The last time" -- this is "Hancock",
"The last time he set foot in the Delta, shrapnel so small,
a year later you first said to yourself,
an explosion of blackheads across his face,
gone too the girlish curls, charming bully smile,
he talked about taking his disability check,
moving as far away from America as Australia.
To this day, his leg is still missing in action."
Thank you, you've been a good audience.
I appreciate you coming.
