And this is a war story:
When the remnant got back to their trenches, one boy discovered that his pal was missing.
He asked his officer if he might go out into no-man's-land to look for him.
The officer said, "Yes, you may go, but it isn't worth it."
The boy went and in a little time returned, mortally wounded.
Before he died, he said to his officer, "It was worth it , sir, for when I reached him he said
"I knew you'd come."
That is friendship. Real friendship.
