And there's a guy he was making fun of in the middle. And he talks about now that guy loses his life in Afghanistan by an IED. And he's an Army Ranger. And when they say the goodbyes, they all put their Ranger tab at the memorial for their fallen soldiers. And then he says, I realize now I'm part of an amazing history.
