:08:00
...before I got the chance to see you.
:08:03
It wasn't your fault.
It took me almost a week to arrange passage.
:08:07
But your letter was waiting there for me,
and Tom's things.
:08:10
I really shouldn't have let him go with us.
:08:13
It was only a border affair.
:08:15
One of the Jewish undergrounds
had blown up half a dozen bridges.
:08:18
It really wasn't important enough
to lose one's life for.
:08:22
Is anything?
:08:23
In my opinion, yes.
:08:26
I've known many soldiers, Mrs. Fremont,
and war correspondents...
:08:30
...and news photographers,
such as your husband.
:08:32
But I think perhaps Tom
was the bravest man I've ever met.
:08:37
We have a saying in Indiana:
:08:39
"The braver the bird, the fatter the cat."
:08:42
Perhaps.
:08:45
Do you recognize this photograph, General?
:08:47
Of course. It was his last.
:08:49
Do you remember how Tom got that shot?
:08:51
We were together.
:08:52
I must confess, my eyes weren't on him
when he snapped the shutter.
:08:56
The aircraft came in low.
We were both in the truck.
:08:59
I jumped down on one side to take cover,
and Tom jumped down on the other side.
:09:04
Tom couldn't have taken cover
and photographed the plane as he did.
:09:08
I dare say you're right.
He had a strong sense of duty.
:09:12
He also had a strong sense of death.
:09:15
I felt I had to confirm what I suspected
about the last photograph.
:09:19
I'm very grateful to you.
:09:21
That's over a year ago.
How have you been occupying yourself?
:09:25
-After I lost the child I was-
-The child?
:09:29
Didn't Tom tell you we
had a child on the way?
:09:33
Men like Tom are often quite reticent about
things that are nearest to their hearts.
:09:38
I understand.
:09:40
It was quite late in my pregnancy
when Tom was killed.
:09:43
Apparently the Palestine trip was too much.
:09:46
I lost the baby in the
hospital at Jerusalem.
:09:50
And then I went back
to my old profession of nursing.
:09:53
I've just completed my tour of duty
with the US Public Health Service in Greece.
:09:57
Very good. What are your
plans for the future?
