"In his little 'fort' on the far right corner of the hilltop Dick Bonelli was praying.  He had never been very religious, despite what the nuns had taught him, but he believed in God now.  not long after the campaign at Uljongbu he had received a letter from one of his mother's friends in the Bronx, an elderly Czech immigrant who had lived in the same apartment building.  When he'd ripped open the envelope he'd found a religious medal depicting the Infant of Prague.  Prague?  Bonelli was an Italian by descent.  But what the hell?  He'd worn the medal around his neck ever since, and he knew that it had brought him good luck.  He'd also become accustomed to saying a short prayer to the Infant a couple of times a day, especially before and after gunfights.  He was hunched over his light machine gun doing just this when a scarecrow of a Marine climbed over a large boulder behind and and startled him.

'Who the hell are you?' he said.

'Baker Company.  Here to rescue you.'

'Rescue?  Do I look like I need rescuing?  Who else is with you?'"
