Alex (In The Company Of Snipers) - Plot & Excerpts
She questioned what she really knew about him as they circled the monument in silence. “Iwo Jima was one bloody battle.” He peered up at the faces of those men like he knew them. The first burst of fireworks arched across the dark ceiling overhead. Voices all around oooh’d and ahhh’d, but in the brightening crescendo of falling stars, she noticed he brushed something out of his eyes. Another volley of shooting sparks splashed through the night. Kelsey studied his profile against the lighted sky. She saw pride mixed with sadness on his face. The phone calls forgotten, she wanted to take his handsome face in her hands and do something to make him smile again. “I didn’t know the Marines Corps has been around so long.” She wanted to get his attention off his sad thoughts. “Since the Revolutionary War. Of course it’s changed a lot since then.” His voice was husky as he stepped back from the monument.
