According to Brent Ashabranner in his introduction to <em>Always to Remember</em>, Jan Craig Scruggs, a Vietnam veteran born in 1950, had the idea that Vietnam veterans like himself deserved a memorial.
Veterans of other wars were honored, but since the Vietnam War was opposed by many people, Vietnam veterans were not honored in such a way. Jan Scruggs, however, believed that the 58 thousand servicemen and women killed in the war deserved to be honored with a memorial, and so he created a fund to carry out his idea.
The answer is Hyperbole.
The Hyperbole is a figure of speech that shows exaggeration to show emphasis or to make a point.
This excerpt shows this in phrases like:
"I told her I hadn't a cent in the world"
"I talked low, and told her the whole story right from the start and nearly killed her laughing."
"What in the nation..."
"I never saw anything like it."
"I never saw a painful story"
All of these sentences in the excerpt demonstrate a type of exaggeration from the writer to add emphasis to them. Words like "never, in the world, killed her laughing", etc. aren't literal. They are used just to add this extra importance to each sentence and show contrast or attract reader's attention.
