The
hell this ain't the most important hole in the world. I'm in it
Bill Mauldin
When you lose a friend [in battle] you have an overpowering desire to go back home
and yell in everybody's ear, "This guy was killed fighting for you. Don't
forget him--ever. Keep him in your mind when you wake up in the morning and
when you go to bed at night. Don't think of him as the statistic which changes
38,788 casualties to 38,789. Think of him as a guy who wanted to live every bit
as much as you do. Don't let him be just one of 'Our Brave Boys' from the old
home town, to whom a marble monument is erected in the city park, and a
civic-minded lady calls the newspaper ten years later and wants to know why
that 'unsightly stone' isn't removed.
