When I was on patrol in Vietnam one day all of the sudden i heard a loud BOOM and I saw Tex fly up in the air. Than all hell broke loose. Everybody was screaming calling out enemy positions. But there were so many enemy's. They came from every known direction. south, east, west and south. They even came out of the ground. During the firefight I heard Bubba yell my name he said, "RUN FORREST, RUN FORREST RUN." So that is exactly what I did. I ran so fast thatI lost Bubba. So I ran back to find him. But every time I went back to find him I kept finding my friends. i found Tex with both legs blown off, I found Dallas under a tree so i helped him up and ran him to the beach. The 3rd time I went to find Bubba I was runnin and tripped i looked down and saw Lt. Dan. He also lost both his legs. When I went to pick him up he yelled at me to leave him there. But I did not listen. When I dropped Lt. Dan off with all the other wounded men I went to go back but he yelled, "Goddang it! What are you doing? Where are you going? I Yelled back "I GOTTA SAVE BUBBA!!!" I ran back in the jungle and I found Bubba. But he was shot. Than when i was running him back to the beach it felt like somethin just jumped up and bit me. It was a bullet that hit me right in the buttocks. Bubba died on the beach that day. He was one of my best friends.
