:03:07
The first time I saw him,
we'd stopped in a little town...
:03:10
...in the mountains of southern France.
:03:12
Up north, at the time,
they were liberating Paris.
:03:15
That was the big war,
the glamour war.
:03:18
The one they were taking the pictures of
and writing all the words about.
:03:22
But we had our own war...
:03:24
...and they weren't writing many words
or taking many pictures.
:03:29
We'd landed near Saint-Tropez.
:03:31
There wasn't much resistance
on the beaches...
:03:33
...not at all like the day
we got to Sicily or Salerno, or...
:03:36
...oh, yeah, Anzio.
:03:40
We started north, and once in a while
the Germans loped over an 88...
:03:43
...and once in a while somebody was killed.
:03:46
Sometimes it was a friend.
:03:59
He was one of the new replacements...
:04:01
...and at first they looked like
any bunch of new guys...
:04:04
...too young, too clean, too polished.
:04:07
And they all looked scared...
:04:10
...except him, he wasn't scared.
:04:13
He was the kind of a guy you'd notice.
:04:16
You know, take any group of guys,
there's always one that stands out.
:04:25
Attention!
:04:28
Any of you guys know how
to operate a radio?
:04:30
Yes, sir. I do, sir.
:04:32
Okay, the rest of you guys can knock it off.
:04:39
-What's your name, soIdier?
-Technician Fifth Grade Britt Harris, sir.
:04:44
-Let's see your Form 20.
