1:04:00
Now, do you remember when I told you
your daddy died in a P.O.W. camp ?

1:04:05
Well, this here is Captain Koons.
1:04:09
He was in the P.O.W. camp
with Daddy.

1:04:17
Hello, little man.
1:04:19
Boy, I sure heard
a bunch about you.

1:04:23
See, I was a good friend
of your dad's.

1:04:27
We were in that Hanoi
pit of hell together...

1:04:30
over five years.
1:04:32
Hopefully...
1:04:34
you'll never have to
experience this yourself,

1:04:37
but when two men are in a situation
like me and your dad were...

1:04:41
for as long as we were,
1:04:44
you take on certain responsibilities
of the other.

1:04:48
If it'd been me who'd--
1:04:51
not made it,
1:04:53
Major Coolidge'd be talking right now
to my son Jim.

1:04:58
But the way it turned out,
I'm talking to you.

1:05:03
Butch...
1:05:06
I got something for ya.
1:05:14
This watch I got here...
1:05:17
was first purchased
by your great-grandfather
during the first World War.

1:05:22
It was bought in a little general store
in Knoxville, Tennessee.

1:05:26
Made by the first company
to ever make wristwatches.

1:05:30
Up 'til then, people just
carried pocket watches.

1:05:33
It was bought
by Private Doughboy Erine Coolidge...

1:05:36
on the day he set sail for Paris.
1:05:39
This was your
great-grandfather's war watch,

1:05:42
and he wore it every day
he was in that war, and...

1:05:45
when he'd done his duty,
he went home to your great-grandmother,

1:05:49
took the watch off,
put it in an old coffee can,
and in that can it stayed...

1:05:53
until your granddad, Dane Coolidge,
was called upon by his country...

1:05:58
to go overseas and fight
the Germans once again.
