" When a Soldier was injured and could not get back to safety,
his buddy went out to get him, against his officier's orders.
He returned mortally wounded and his friend,
whom he carried back, was dead.
The officer was angry. "I told you not to go," he said.
"now I've lost both of you. It was not worth it."

The dying man replied, "But it was, Sir, because when I got him he said,
'Jim, I knew you'd come.'"
