General Marshall:
Goddamn it.
:31:50
All 4 of them were
in the same company
:31:52
in the 29th Division,
:31:54
but we split them up
:31:55
after the Sullivan brothers
died on the Juneau.
:31:57
Well, any, uh, contact
with the fourth son, James?
:31:59
No, sir.
:32:00
He was dropped
about 15 miles inland
:32:02
near Neuville.
:32:03
But that's still deep
behind German lines.
:32:05
Now, Mac, there is
no way you can know
:32:07
where in the hell
he was dropped.
:32:09
First reports out of
lke's people at Shaef
:32:11
said the 101st is scattered
all to hell and gone.
:32:14
There's misdrops
all over Normandy.
:32:15
Assuming Private Ryan
even survived the jump,
:32:19
he could be anywhere.
:32:20
In fact,
he's probably K.I.A.
:32:22
And frankly, sir,
:32:23
we go sending some sort
of rescue mission,
:32:26
flat-hatting through swarms
of German reinforcements
:32:28
all along our axis
of advance,
:32:30
they're gonna be K.I.A. too.
:32:54
I have a letter here...
:32:57
written a long time ago
to a Mrs. Bixby in Boston.
