Injured specialist Charles Day shares how loved ones back home learn of his fate. He describes a 68 day marriage to Rose, a Memphis beautician, and their plans for a future together. Day recalls a Claymore attack that left him with a broken back and his buddy Tim singing Beatles at church minutes before. The piece contrasts wounded soldiers openness with others who speak little of family life.
