Quotes 

• Lance Cpl. Harold James Trombley : Hey Pers, didn't your mom put your picture up on the Wal-mart Wall Of Heroes?

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Yep. My grandma did when I went to Afghanistan. I'm on the Nevada, Missouri Wal-mart Wall Of Heroes. I even got my dress blues on.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : If my mother ever distributed my likeness without written authorization, I would disown her.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Technically speaking, Brad, but... didn't your biological parents disown you when they put you up for adoption?

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Point, Ray.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : At least my mom took me to NASCAR!

  Lance Cpl. Harold James Trombley : ...Your dad's a truck driver?
