:47:01
Guadalcanal.
:47:02
Is that right?
:47:04
Yeah. Well, I guess
this family's fought
:47:06
in every war that, uh,
this country's ever had.
:47:10
I reckon we're ready
to do it again
:47:13
if'n we have to.
:47:17
'Course they never did know
what done happened and all.
:47:21
There was a letter
from a colonel,
:47:25
I think it was.
:47:27
Colonel Moore.
:47:28
That's right,
Colonel Moore.
:47:30
He said there was
a bad ambush one night.
:47:33
Said that Billy distinguished himself
in the fighting.
:47:37
He also told us that
Billy died real quick.
:47:40
That's good
that he died quick.
:47:57
I was
his squad leader.
:47:59
I didn't know Billy
real well.
:48:02
He was new,
kind of quiet.
:48:04
We didn't talk much
to new guys.
:48:08
He was 19,
is that right?
:48:10
That's right, 19.
:48:12
Only son?
:48:13
Yes, sir.
My only boy.
:48:15
I think he said
he was married
:48:18
and you were pregnant?
:48:22
I remember
the day he was killed.
:48:25
Uh... it was a strange day.
:48:29
We were out on patrol
near a beach area...
:48:33
and, oh,
it was very confusing.
:48:36
There was screaming
and firing.
:48:38
Uh...
:48:42
It was getting late,
:48:43
and there were
these children, uh...
:48:49
these babies...
:48:52
that we killed
by mistake.
:48:56
How awful.
:48:59
And then it...
