#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And I'm perfectly happy that nothing happened on those convoys.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

I will say that the airport in Kabul, where Abbey Gate was, I've been to that airport 10 times on a convoy.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

I went on a convoy there one day, and nothing happened.

#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

We leave, we get back to the base, and somebody from our base, I was at ISAF headquarters in Kabul, right next to Hamid Karzai's palace, right next to the embassy, and a base called Camp Eggers.

I learned later, when I memorized everybody who died in the war in Afghanistan, that that's Captain Daniel Eggers.

#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

I didn't know it at the time, but he passed.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

He was the 135th name I said.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

A guy left from Camp Eggers, and he goes to that airport in Kabul, Abbey Gate, that area, and he died.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

It was a vehicle-borne IED.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And as an intelligence guy, I remember that video, and I remember thinking, man, I was just there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

I was just there, and now he's there, and he's dead.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And then...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Two days later, we shut down convoys for a couple days.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And then two days later, I went back.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And that was, I think that's when I first, I always had been briefing the names of the fallen.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And I didn't say the names of the fallen in my briefings, but I was always aware of the deaths, probably more than the average person who was deployed, because I had to know every day how many who died.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

I never knew that guy's name until about six weeks ago.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And I went and figured it out.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Who is he on the Afghanistan wall?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And based on the time and based on where he died, it was Corporal Adam Quinn.
