SINE PARI-WITHOUT EQUAL OSOK Army Special Operations Retired When a soldier was injured and could not get back to safety, his buddy went out to get him, against his officer’s orders. He returned mortally wounded and his friend, whom he had carried back, was dead. The officer was angry. “I told you not to go,” he said. “Now I’ve lost both of you. It was not worth it, the officer said.” The dying man replied, “But it was, Sir, because when I got to him he said, ‘Kristopher, I knew you’d come back.’” —Leslie D. Weatherhead, HONOR
