Bobby Jones slowly opened his eyes; not much more than a squint. His head was pounding. He was confused and disoriented. He looked around the small, crumpled remains of the fuselage around him.

To his right was twisted metal, inches away from his head. Before him was a busted windshield. He watched for a moment as a droplet of water began inching its way up the windshield, gaining momentum and girth as it made a zig-zag trail on the cracked glass.

He turned his head slowly until he saw the bloody pilot strapped in his seat with a rather large shard of wood protruding from the center of his forehead. He could tell by the look in his eyes that he probably died instantly. He had seen that same look all too many times before.

The pale faces of all those young men that he had served alongside in Viet Nam paraded before his eyes. There were so many of them who had died in his arms while he tried in vain to save them. All the medic training he had gone through hadn’t prepared him for the ugliness that he had seen during his two tours on the front lines. He wanted to help them … to save them … but all he could do was give them morphine injections to help ease the pain as they crossed over into the mystery of the next life.

His mind focused on the face of one of those young men. He had been a good friend. He could see vividly the way the light in the soldier’s eyes faded away into an empty, blank stare. Bobby could see the deep red blood drops running down the young soldier’s face and fall onto his combat jacket; onto the patch with O’Neil stitched into it. Slowly the patched transformed into a different blood-stained patch.

C. C.

Bobby painfully reached up and felt around. His legs were numb. He fumbled around until he felt the hard metal of the seat belt buckle imbedded in his lap. With a quick pull it came undone, tossing the aged man to the roof of the small plane beneath him. With a loud thud he hit hard. That thud was the last thing he heard as he faded off into unconsciousness.
