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?
1:18:00
I pour his coffee and lay out his things.
1:18:24
Platoon, attention!
1:18:28
Right face!
1:18:30
Forward march!
1:18:42
Each platoon will proceed
to the objective...
1:18:44
...which in this case
is the Battalion Bear Pit.
1:18:47
Whoever reaches it first
will get a 72- hour liberty.
1:18:51
Sir, it would be an honor,
if you would accompany my platoon.
1:18:56
Thank you, Staff Sergeant.
