A tale of 2 soldiers. (This one really touches me)
2 young men were fighting in the World War II during 1944. They had grown up together, played together, worked together and graduated together. They even ended up in the same platoon in the Europe during the war. It was in the midst of a fierce battle that one of these two became upset. The troop had returned behind the lines without his long-time friend. He told his commanding officer that he must go back into the front lines and find his friend. He just had to. He couldn’t go on without attempting a rescue. The C.O. told him there was no use trying to it, and if he did, it would mean risking his life. But this wasn’t enough to stop him. An hour later he returned with the lifeless body of his friend cradled in his arms. The C.O. scowled in anger, "You see, I told you it was useless to go out there!" The young soldier looked up at him and responded, "That’s where you’re wrong, sir." There was a pause. "You see, I got to him just in time to hear him say,"I knew you’d come."" It was worth everything to make it to him.
I was so touched by this story. Splendid!
