Well, Molly and All, I am listening to Dennis Prager's show dedicated to our fallen heroes, and there are some incredible stories of heroism.

The one I can't get out of my mind was the one told on Bill Bennett's show earlier this morning. Forgive me for not remembering this great American hero's name, and only remembering enough of the story to relate it to you.

The hero called and asked permission from command to pull back, as he was overwhelmed. He was told in no uncertain terms to, under no circumstances, pull back, but to hold the hill.

He was later found, on the forward downside of the hill. Every grenade launched, every round spent, and his bayonet in a Japanese soldier.
