    I'd love to shake Alan's hand some time, just to let him know how much more bearable he's made my life... This man is more then a National Treasure, he's a world treasure.

    He gave the almost exact speech about sunscreen at my brother's graduation at the Forman School but it was more intimate and a much smaller setting/ audience. Alan Alda was the guest speaker because his grandson was apparently in my brother's graduation class.

    'Hawkeye' Pierce delivers an inspiring speech. Where are Radar, Klinger, Hotlips, Trapper. B.J, Frank Burns, Blake & Potter?

      Kudala_Mangalooru some of them are dead. Still, we should appreciate our older citizens, I wish I still had grandparents, mine all died before I was 30 and was too stupid to appreciate them. Our elders shouldn't be shut away in homes or retirement villages, they have lived, they have experiences to pass on

    With all he has done the man certainly has my respect. I agree with a lot of what he said but the graduating class looked a little distracted.

      Thomas Mckenna......nope.....there are not many wise men and not many who can discern what kind of man Alan Alda is. They are all caught up in the characters he played and his pseudo-psychology. He is a lost man who hates God. A sad, sad little man.

    Alda's framing of the "sunscreen speech" within his own speech is unfortunate. Yes, it is an example of how something spread wildly across the internet that was attributed to the wrong person (not written by Kurt Vonnegut). However, Alda manages to imply that what enhances this "lie" is that it came from an obscure journalist (and that the advice in the speech was trivial). So wrong! The author, Mary Schmich (he should learn how to pronounce her name), has written for the Chicago Tribune for decades and won a Pulitzer Prize. There is every reason to argue that her writing is just as compelling as anything by Kurt Vonnegut. This seems to be more an example of gender-bias than anything else.

    Horrible speech. Worthless. Absolutely worthless.

      Coleman Adamson really? Explain ! Apparently you aren’t smart enough to understand this very intelligent man.
