''This is a tough crew on here,
and they have a wonderful battle record.
:58:06
''But l've discovered, Doc,
that the unseen enemy of this war...
:58:10
''...is the boredom
that eventually becomes a faith...
:58:14
''...and, therefore, a terrible sort of suicide.
:58:18
''l know now that the ones
who refuse to surrender to it...
:58:22
''...are the strongest of all.
:58:24
''Right now l'm looking at something
that's hanging over my desk.
:58:28
''A preposterous hunk of brass...
:58:30
''...attached to the most bilious piece
of ribbon l've ever seen.

''l'd rather have it
than the Congressional Medal of Honor.

when courage counted most...

they must be very happy...
:59:00
''...because the Captain's overhead
is filled with marbles.

''And here comes the mail orderly.
This has to go now. l'll finish it later.
:59:11
''Meanwhile you guys can write too,
can't you? Doug.''
:59:15
May l see that, Frank?
:59:18
This one's from Fornell.
:59:21
''l'd rather have it
than the Congressional Medal of Honor.''
:59:27
Well, l'm glad he found that out.
:59:38
What's the matter?
:59:44
What's the matter?
:59:52
Frank, what is it?
:59:59
Mr. Roberts is dead.
