Thumbs up Great story.

Man writes 2,200 names of fallen troops from memory..

Ron White spent nearly 12 hours Tuesday writing more than 2,200 names of troops killed in Afghanistan -- 7,000 words -- by hand and entirely from memory on a makeshift wall in Alamo Plaza.

Nice story. That's amazing about the guys memory but what a wonderful way to use it, remembering each as an individual.

Good for him.

It's a shame the list is as long as it is.
