INTRODUCTION Alan’s mind balked at the thought of bringing home the charred remains of Antonio Rossi, his fellow Marine. Why did this happen? he wondered, staring out the window of the plane. How will I explain to the family of this brave warrior that his death came at the hands of those he trusted most? Adrift in sleep, Alan saw again a brilliant flash of light just before the thunderous explosion threw him from the armored personnel carrier. Dazed, he rushed back to the blazing pile of molten metal and pulled away the crumpled remains of the heavy door. To his horror he saw a charred, blackened body on the ground before him. “No, no. Rossi…no, this can’t be!” Alan knelt down and began to cry, overtaken with tremendous grief at the loss of another young hero. Ash and smoke billowing around him, Alan barely noticed the hand on his left shoulder. He looked up and saw another Marine standing over him. From the insignia on his collar Alan recognized him as his company commander. He continued to cry. “He’s gone—why was it him and not me?” Alan shook his head from side to side in disbelief, tears rolling down his cheeks to be consumed by the sand below. The captain lowered himself to one knee, keeping his hand on Alan’s shoulder. “Corporal Crane, that’s not your friend.” Alan tore his gaze from the charred remains as realization dawned on him. “The body you see before you…is yours.”
