1:01:02
And those of us who were left,
we went home too.
1:01:05
I fell heir to the unpleasant job
of seeing the folks of those left behind:
1:01:09
Pedro 's mother. Jean Huxley.
Marion 's family.
1:01:13
The Maryland countryside was...
1:01:14
...just the way Danny had told me
time and time again.
1:01:17
I seemed to be familiar
with every landmark.
1:01:20
I was glad the journey
was nearly over.
1:01:22
As we neared Baltimore,
I remembered High Pockets ' words:
1:01:25
"Make Marines out of them."
1:01:27
Well, we made Marines out of them.
1:01:30
And they led us
on the long road back.
1:01:32
Baltimore.
Next stop, Baltimore.
1:01:42
You're home.
1:01:47
It go to sleep on you?
1:01:48
Doc says it'll keep doing this
till they get all the shrapnel out.
1:01:52
- Sure you won't stay over a few days?
- No, thanks, kid.
1:01:55
I got to get up to Philly
and see Ski's folks...
1:01:58
...then I got to report
to Brooklyn Navy Yard Monday.
1:02:01
Thanks anyway.
1:02:14
- So long, Mac.
- Yeah.
1:02:16
So long, Marine.
1:02:22
Danny!
1:02:30
Dad! Bud!
1:02:32
Marines on lwo Jima!
Read all about it.
1:02:36
Marines on lwo Jima!
1:02:42
All aboard!
1:02:44
For Danny Forrester,
the war was over. For me...
1:02:47
You know how us old-timers are.
1:02:49
There will always be boys to be trained
and battles to be won.
1:02:53
And like I said:
1:02:54
Politics and wars
make strange bedfellows.
