Obviously, I've been wasting a lot of gasoline. Good night, Vera. - ...Well, it looks like I am free for dinner tonight.

Home was H Company, Second Battalion, First Marine Regiment. [...] Then, with the fire alight, the beer case set in the middle of the floor, we would lie back on our cots, heads propped against the wall, swilling the beer and talking. [...] I suppose much of our conversation was dull. It would seem so, now, I am sure. It was dull, but it was homey. We were becoming a family. - Helmet for My Pillow, Robert Leckie

THE PACIFIC | H COMPANY

And why... why did I end up back here when all those other fellas didn't? - I thought that. Every guy back has thought that. But you've just got to pull yourself out of bed in the morning and get on with the day. You do that enough times in a row... you forget some things. For a while, anyway.
