The Great Raid Page #7

- Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Don't stop! Push 'em

through that front gate!

Front gate! Dock point!

- Keep 'em moving!

- Keep going, guys.

Daly, come on.

- Charge the gate. I'll cover you. Ready?

- Ready.

Mortar! Everybody down!

Down!

Get up! Move!

Keep moving!

Go! Get 'em on their feet!

Keep 'em moving!

Get 'em out the gate!

Let's go!

- Keep 'em moving!

- Come on, men. Get 'em out!

Get 'em through the gate!

Mortar!

Go!

Daly, hold him down!

I'm gonna flank him!

Son of a b*tch.

Argh!

Aargh!

Sarge!

- You all right?

- Daly, where the hell you been?

Clear!

Everybody goes out.

Take everybody with us.

Someone get a medic over here!

Soldier, you all right?

Jesus.

Jimmy.

It's a mortar wound, sir.

He's lost a lot of blood.

- I don't know if we can move him, Captain.

- We got no choice.

Jimmy?

- Move me.

- All right.

Get him to Platero.

Stay with him, understand?

- Yes, sir.

- Hang in there, Doc.

Clear!

Clear. Last man.

Sniper! Enemy fire on your left!

- Cease fire! Cease fire!

- Hold your fire!

- Fall back. Let's go!

- Fall back! Fall back!

Daly. Daly! Daly!

Mack, Stratton, on me now!

Come on, Daly. Come on.

We've lost him.

Let's move!

Come on, Fox Two,

keep it moving.

Let's get 'em across.

You all right?

You OK?

Keep movin'.

It's gonna be all right, Major.

We're going home.

Captain Prince.

How did we do?

Got 'em all, sir.

How many casualties?

One KIA - Pfc Daly.

And Doc Jimmy's wounded, too.

I think it's critical.

We moved him to Platero to operate.

I don't think he's gonna make it, sir.

Thanks, Captain.

Possible liver involvement,

certainly colon.

- You need any morphine?

- No.

That's for you to keep.

More plasma.

Did we get 'em out?

Did we get them out?

All of them.

Good.

Better keep moving, Henry.

We're heading out now.

- Have you seen Major Gibson?

- Sorry, ma'am.

Six bucks.

Told ya, I can't sell it.

Ten bucks?

I can't do it.

It's the only one I got.

What do you mean, it's the only one

you got? You said you had plenty to spare.

I lied to you.

My mom gave this to me.

Well, how's your mom feel

about ten bucks?

- How's your mom feel about ten bucks?

- Hey.

I'm sorry.

Have you seen Major Gibson?

Yeah, he was with us at the river. Check

with the medics, ma'am, down by the carts.

Thank you.

Margaret.

Where is he?

He wanted me to give you this.

"Dear Margaret.

"After three long years of witnessing

so much destruction and suffering.

"A simple letter seems so pointless.

"I've often wondered what my life would

have been like had we been together.

"However. As time passes.

"I realize this may never happen.

"There is one thing

I wanted you to know.

"You've come to mean

the world to me.

"And not just to me.

To all of us here.

"You've given me the strength

to give these men hope.

"And maybe one day.

A second chance.

"I miss you more

than you can imagine

"and owe you more

than you can ever know.

"All my love. Daniel."

Captain Prince!

General, this is the man

who led the raid, Captain Prince.

Congratulations, Captain Prince.

I'm very sorry about your losses.

I want you to know you have done

a great service for your country.

- Thank you, sir.

- Gentlemen.

- After you, Major.

- Nice job.

So...

how do you feel?

All right.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you, sir.

Never in our history

had such a large group of men

endured so much

and complained so little.

Many were unable to shake the belief

that their country had abandoned them.

Left them to die in a foreign land.

It was said to be

of no significance to the war effort.

Although for me. Saving them

was a way of setting things right.

It's true -

they had been left behind.

But never forgotten.
