Memorial Day Special: Navy Veteran Memorizes Every Service Member Killed in Afghanistan

0:05Today, I'll be reciting the following from the war in Afghanistan in the order of their casualty.

0:11Beginning with the first one, Master Sergeant Vander Andrews, and ending with the last, HM3 Maxton Soviak.

0:19As I say these names, I'll be taking a mental walk around buildings in my mind that I know very well.

0:25These buildings will help me remember what I'm supposed to say and remember the names.

0:30The final 13 that we lost at Abbey Gate are in this room that I'm sitting right now.

0:36And I will conclude with the final name, HM3 Maxton Soviak.
