-
The assignment was to take the hill. There were 4 of us.
-
5 if you counted Vicente,
-
but he had lost his hand when a grenade went off
-
and couldn't fight as he could when I first met him.
-
And he was young, and brave.
-
And the hill was soggy from days of rain,
-
and the hill sloped down toward a road,
-
and there were many German soldiers on the road.
-
And the idea was to aim for the first group,
-
and if our aim was true, we could delay them.
-
- Were you scared? - Of what?
-
Getting killed?
