I am so excited for everyone. Amazing work, John, Jon, and Max. Too bad it’s two days before I graduate, otherwise I’d be able to get out there and watch.

I guess it resonates with me because I remember very distinctly sitting in my little teenage hideaway off the living room in Accra when the military started shelling the broadcast house across the street. The first mortar that hit shook the wall of the house so much that I thought we were having a major end of Accra as we know it earthquake. Then I walked outside and hung out with all of the neighbors watching the Ghanaian troops continue to launch mortars across the street from where they were set up a couple of houses away, and it turned into our afternoon entertainment.

Takes me back to the day Dan Johnstone, the guy Danielle’s named after, and I were walking back to the boat from lunch in the officers’ mess at My Tho, in the Mekong Delta. A Vietnamese Navy guy about 50 yards away kicked his Honda starter, where some clever VC had tied a grenade under the gas tank with a wire to the starter, and well, you know…
It’s still very hard to go back through that stuff, and the power of your production gets RIGHT AT IT.

So, Jon, you wanted my reaction to the clip…
Well, to be honest, I generally don’t like watching myself speak, because I’m either overly-critical of myself, or I feel like I’m bathing in narcissism. Watching it, I didn’t think it would have any affect on me, considering that, well a) I lived the experience, and b) I remember giving the monologue. Well, the end of it still kinda made my hair stand on end. That’s all.

Joshua, thanks for the scream. You spoke for millions of us.
