"July 26. We're holed up in a farmhouse outside Marigny. I close my eyes think' 'a Hazel but end up Havin' the dream again."

"For a month, we been tightenin' the noose around the last escapin' Krauts as we roll towards Paris. But like a cornered rattler, you can bet they got one last strike."

"August 1944. This is it. We're gonna liberate Paris. The French Second Armored Division and the US French Infantry arrive at dawn. That means we move tonight."

"October. We're in Aachen. Krauts are fightin' like hell for it, cause it's the first time one of their cities has been invaded by the Allies. Won't be the last."

"After Aachen nothin's gonna be the same. But we finally got a foothold into Germany. The gateway to the Rhine is open and there's no turnin' back. For any of us."

"Still waitin' on Pierson. There's no tellin' what he'll do, but his record ain't exactly stellar. If you were here Paul I know you'd set'im straight. Just hope Zussman and Aiello can hold out 'til we hit those guns together."

"Six weeks now since Turner was killed and I got promoted. It's Christmas. We're diggin' into the Ardennes Forest in Belgium. So cold we're pissin' ice cubes. Gonna be one helluva fight."

"Pierson's gone to a dark place. I can feel myself gettin' dragged down with'im. But I gotta stay sharp if I'm gonna make you proud, brother."

"March 1945. With the 9th Armored and the 99th, our mission is to take the Bridge at Remagen. We get across, the last German resistance will crumble."
