Ron White

The greatest, I shouldn't say greatest, I don't want to use the word greatest.

The most significant memory project of my life is complete today.

And when I got to that final 13 names, the tears were just going down my eyes.

I couldn't believe it.

But when I was training for this, somebody said,

Ron, why don't you just read them?

That way you don't have to write them.

Because Jeffrey, you can spell it J-E-F-F-R-E-Y, J-E-F-F-E-R-Y, J-E-F-F-R-I-E, G-O-F-F-R-I-E, G-O-F-F.

That's just Jeffrey.

So spelling it is so much difficult.

And my friend said, why don't you just say them?

You don't have to worry about spelling.

And I said, no.

I want, today was powerful, today was powerful, but I wanted people to look at it and walk by that wall and say, wow, I didn't know it was this many.

I want them to understand.

And I think today that was accomplished just by saying the names, but it's my hope that maybe a politician heard it.

And for two hours, that politician realized, wow,

That guy just talked for two hours and he said everybody that we lost, that's not including necessarily all the civilians.

That's not including everybody in Iraq.

And that's what I want.
