" Frenchie spoke: 'Captain, you should have seen my lieutenant. He was magnificent.' It wasn't the word magnificent that meant so much. It was what he called me--not 'the lieutenant,' or 'Blue,' or 'Lieutenant North,' but 'my lieutenant.' To this day those words mean more to me than everything else said or written about my time in the Marines. The very brave young men of 2d Platoon, Company K weren't mine--I was theirs! "
