:10:01
For not dyin'.
:10:05
The 15 men who fought with me
got decorated too. For dying.
:10:11
So...
:10:17
Lieutenant was killed
the night before and...
:10:22
none of the sergeants even made it
out of the landing craft, so...
:10:29
that left me in charge.
It was my first command.
:10:34
Orders were to hold some shitty swamp
marsh on the ass-end of nowhere.
:10:44
And I did.
:10:50
All of the men under my command...
:10:58
men who trusted me...
:11:05
who begged me to pull back...
:11:13
not one of them made it.
:11:19
Just one stupid asshole.
:11:28
And for that, they gave me the Silver Star.
:11:34
What were their names?
:11:38
It might be good to tell a story about 'em.
:11:41
You know, who they were
and what they were like.
:11:46
What a magical pile of Navajo horseshit.
What the hell for?
:11:52
To honor them.
:11:55
Their memory.
:11:58
You know, it wasn't your fault, Joe.
You were just followin' orders.
