Wall of Heroes

  • <Trombley> Hey Person, didn’t your Mom put your picture up on the Wal-Mart Wall of Heroes?
  • <Ray Person> Yep. My Gramma did when I went to Afghanistan. I’m on the Nevada, Missouri Wal-Mart Wall of Heroes. I even got my dress boots on.
  • <Brad Colbert> If my mother ever distributed my likeness without written authorization I would disown her.
  • <Ray Person> Technically speaking Brad, but didn’t your biological parents disown you when they put you up for adoption?
  • <Brad Colbert> Point, Ray. I was one of those unfortunates adopted by upper middle-class professionals who nurtured in an environment of learning, art and a socio-religious culture steeped in more than 2000 years of Talmudic tradition. Not everyone is lucky enough to have been raised in a Whiskey Tango trailer park by a bow-legged female whose sole qualification for motherhood is a womb that happened to catch a sperm of a passing truck driver.
  • <Ray Person> At least my Mom took me to NASCAR.
  • <Trombley> Your Dad’s a truck driver?

As the great warrior poet Ice Cube once said, ‘If a day does not require my AK, it is good.’

— Corp. Ray Person, from Generation Kill (the real lyric is slightly different)
