I'm not sure I like how you say "Marine. "
1:15:06
I can say "Marine" any damn way I choose.
1:15:10
I earned that right.
1:15:14
- That's right, you did.
- I lived in a rathole...

1:15:17
...when they were bringing those boys
home in those flag-draped, metal coffins.

1:15:21
I don't think I got a wink's sleep in 1968.
1:15:25
- Do you remember that year?
- Yes. I remember.

1:15:29
I'd turn on the TV in the morning,
I'd eat dinner in front of it every night...

1:15:34
...eyes glued, hoping to catch
a glimpse of you on the news...

1:15:37
...and then praying I wouldn't.
1:15:40
Then I'd crawl into bed and wonder...
1:15:43
...where were you? What were you doing?
Were you alive?

1:15:48
And I had no way of knowing.
1:15:54
I guess there are things that work
harder on a woman than being shot at.

1:16:01
I swear the not knowing was the worst.
1:16:10
I'm sorry.
1:16:21
That's all right, baby.
1:16:27
That's all right.
1:16:34
We went up and down that dirt pile
for six days and six nights.

1:16:37
Fixed bayonets, hand-to-hand.
Fought them something fierce.

1:16:41
They gave back as good as they got.
Lots of men died.

1:16:44
We were the 23rd Infantry.
1:16:46
We joined the Corps later.
1:16:48
We were younger than you are.
1:16:51
I never heard of any Heartbreak Ridge.
1:16:55
It's not in any of the history books.
It's a little piece of war.

1:16:58
The place didn't have a name,
just a number.
