Desperate rescue and grim finds amid desert war hospital scene
A narrative recalls U S soldiers trekking six miles into the desert to inform allies of a private hospital location and returning to count guards and map the building. It describes a hospital raid under cover, a 19 year old girl sheltered beneath a bed sheet, and a helicopter escape. Eleven shallow graves are found with American casualties believed fatally wounded by Saddam's forces. Soldiers dig fallen comrades from graves with bare hands. Remains will be returned home for burial. Public sentiment notes low wartime casualties but grimly honors heroic acts. The television voice echoes that the hallways of heaven are crowded with fallen heroes.
