Stand Tall
.....Never before had I had the privilege, and hope never to have it again, than standing hip deep in it over a fallen comrade, it just doesn't get any more teeth grinding than that...you want to run, your whole body is screaming for you to run, except your heart, that stands alone and true...I knew I could never carry Jimmy, 300 lbs of pure muscle, hurt as bad as he was, and survive the firefight that was raging around us...it was stand tall time....Whooooooeeeee does that time last an eternity, it had been a minute since the ambush had taken place but it felt like hours, Jimmy had gone down in the fist fusilade, I was halfway to China before I realized he had even been hit, it was on the way back to the position did I see the extent of his leg wound, must of been shrapnel of a mortar as they're was bone broke through the deeply lacerated wound....man it was like being in the middle of an hornets nest, except with red hot angry pieces of steel doing the buzzing, I knew he was still alive as I could hear his handpiece going of behind me, it was that sound that turned me into a beast, just some deep primordial gut wrench, here Jimmy was, as badly hurt as he was, still shouting his defiance at the rag tags with his pop gun, man I turned, I turned into something real mean and nasty, they weren't gonna get my Jimmy....I came out of that hole like a screaming banshee, brandishing that Barp gun like there was no tommorrow, throwing grenades, plus putting on an acrobatic show like I was back home in the Russian Circus or something.....my Platoon said afterwards that a deathly silence had hung around the battlefield for seconds with the coming of that scream, it broke something in the enemy, I think they knew my sanity hung in tatters and I was coming, it gave the platoon time to regroup and find the defensive positions we so badly needed....but it was over, my show had broken the attack, I must admit, thinking back over it, I think that would have shattered my nerve if it had been one of them, as it was a scream of Righteousness, Defiance....they were'nt gonna get my Jimmy, not like this, not this way, I suppose it was just my turn like everyman in a war to stand tall for awhile, it just sounds better than telling everyone, no for those few seconds I lost it......Don't you
