He had made it this far, had survived longer than he had hoped, yet he feared this may be his moment, his time may have finally come. But he knew he couldn't turn back, he could not allow his fellow soldiers to be tortured and humiliated at the hands of the enemy. Five men brought together by the consequences of war, not knowing if they would ever see their families again or survive even another day but resolved to never give up and never give in to this enemy. Four had suffered serious wounds and had been captured. The fifth was a cowardly slacker who wished anyone but himself was in this situation. He breathed deeply, prayed silently, and became the man no one expected him to be. He risked his life for the sake of the four captured Americans and found that he was more than he believed himself to be. Vietnam created many heroes that no one has ever heard about. They all would be heroes.
