Yup, standin' right next to the Duke.

Standing next to Col. Cooper is a young Philippine Civil Guard reservist, name unknown, whose obituary Cooper reported in one of his columns. The young soldier was found dead, along with his M1 Garand rifle, two expended clips and sixteen rounds of fired brass, presumably all he'd been issued. And the bodies of eighteen dead pro-communist raiders, the last two having been beaten to death with the rifle butt before the trooper died of blood loss.

There is a place called Valhalla for such men, the young Phillipino and the Old Marine Colonel. Godspeed, mi colonel.
