Heartbreak Ridge

1:16:01

I swear the not knowing was the worst.

1:16:10

I'm sorry.

1:16:21

That's all right, baby.

1:16:27

That's all right.

1:16:34

We went up and down that dirt pile
for six days and six nights.

1:16:37

Fixed bayonets, hand-to-hand.
Fought them something fierce.

1:16:41

They gave back as good as they got.
Lots of men died.

1:16:44

We were the 23rd Infantry.

1:16:46

We joined the Corps later.

1:16:48

We were younger than you are.

1:16:51

I never heard of any Heartbreak Ridge.

1:16:55

It's not in any of the history books.
It's a little piece of war.

1:16:58

The place didn't have a name,
just a number.

1:17:01

Stoney Jackson looked at it
and said, "Ladies...

1:17:04

"... if this don't kill us, it'll break our hearts. "

1:17:07

- Who's Stoney Jackson?
- Little Mary's husband.

1:17:10

He was our platoon sergeant.

1:17:12

He recommended Highway
for his Congressional Medal of Honor.

1:17:17

Gunney Highway won the CMH?

1:17:20

He charged two machine gun nests
by himself.

1:17:23

He didn't sleep for three days.

1:17:25

The final human wave he held off
almost single-handedly.

1:17:29

When it was over...

1:17:31

...there was me, Stoney Jackson...

1:17:34

...and Tom Highway.

1:17:36

We were the only ones still alive.

1:17:39

What happened to Jackson?

1:17:42

He was killed at Khe Sahn in 1968.

1:17:44

Can I get you something to eat?
I can fix it in no time.

1:17:49

No, thank you, ma'am.

1:17:54

Excuse me, ma'am.
You don't happen to be up...

1:17:57

...when Gunney Highway
leaves for the base, do you?
