First Landing: Descent

I wish my little boy could see this.
I wish my son Bucky could see this.
Such beauty
This beauty

Ah! Just for a moment
I wish my little boy could see this. This beauty...

This? This!
There!
That! This. There!
What's going on? What's going on here?
How on earth?

Look! What's this?
Look! Look! Look there!
Along the hedgerow -- along the road --
Here, there!
In the rice paddy--

Weren't those people just walking to market,
their baskets waiting to be filled?
Weren't those people just heading to the fields
on this bright morning?
My Lord, what a morning.

I'm taking her down.
Open the door.
Open the fucking door!

Look!
In the ditch, that girl is still moving.
Medic! Medic!
That girl is still moving!
Where in God's name is the medic?

The captain walks up,
pokes her with his boot--
his boot!
He raises his automatic and--

God in heaven,
what did You do
creating such a son of a bitch?
