1
00:00:03,036 --> 00:00:05,267
That's a nice fat one, Reverend.
2
00:00:12,346 --> 00:00:14,247
I know you're a good fisherman,
3
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:17,284
but aren't you supposed to bait
that hook before you throw it in?
4
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:20,581
I didn't load it up?
5
00:00:22,256 --> 00:00:25,920
You've got something else on your
mind besides hauling in catfish, Hank.
6
00:00:27,094 --> 00:00:29,859
It'll be the first time I ever said
the words over a grave, John.
7
00:00:31,732 --> 00:00:33,633
The first time I
ever buried a man.
8
00:01:38,865 --> 00:01:42,324
In the fall of 1939, the
people on Walton's Mountain
9
00:01:42,402 --> 00:01:46,203
were becoming increasingly affected
by the spreading war in Europe.
10
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:47,536
- Hey, Ike!
- Ike!
11
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:52,105
It's not like Ike to go by
without stopping to say hello.
12
00:01:52,179 --> 00:01:54,410
He must be having an
important delivery somewhere.
13
00:01:54,881 --> 00:01:57,361
Why would he be wearing his
air-raid helmet to make a delivery?
14
00:01:58,185 --> 00:01:59,414
Oh, he was, wasn't he?
15
00:01:59,486 --> 00:02:03,787
In our family and others,
despite our rural isolation,
16
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:06,850
it was to cause immediate
and profound change.
17
00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:15,701
- Good morning, Ike.
- Hello, Curt.
18
00:02:15,769 --> 00:02:17,647
- Hi, Ike.
- Oh, the baby's up.
19
00:02:17,671 --> 00:02:19,148
- Yeah.
- Has he been good?
20
00:02:19,172 --> 00:02:20,172
Uh-huh.
21
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,168
What brings you by, Ike?
22
00:02:22,242 --> 00:02:26,407
Well, a letter came for you.
It's from the war department.
23
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:33,813
I hope it isn't
what I think it is.
24
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:42,687
Thank you, Ike.
25
00:02:42,763 --> 00:02:45,062
I appreciate you taking
the trouble to come by.
26
00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:47,826
If I can do anything for
you, you let me know.
27
00:02:48,402 --> 00:02:49,962
- Bye-bye, Ike.
- Okay. Bye.
28
00:02:53,807 --> 00:02:56,367
Well, they're calling
me up to active duty.
29
00:02:57,077 --> 00:03:00,536
What? How can they do that?
You're a husband! With a baby!
30
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:03,426
Well, when you're in the reserves,
they're bound to call you sooner or later.
31
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:05,476
Especially if you're a doctor.
32
00:03:05,552 --> 00:03:07,077
Where are they sending you?
33
00:03:07,154 --> 00:03:09,749
I'm going to Camp Lee.
That's a lucky break.
34
00:03:09,823 --> 00:03:12,486
That's only about
140 miles away.
35
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:14,084
- When?
- Monday.
36
00:03:14,161 --> 00:03:16,521
Well, they sure didn't give
you much time to think about it.
37
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,042
Do they know you have a
family, or don't they care?
38
00:03:19,066 --> 00:03:21,467
Honey, I guess they need me.
39
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:23,868
I never saw such a
cold, impersonal letter.
40
00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:26,803
It's a form letter with
your name filled in.
41
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:29,104
Mary Ellen, they have to
send out hundreds of them.
42
00:03:29,176 --> 00:03:32,112
So what does that make you?
A statistic they pull out of a file?
43
00:03:32,813 --> 00:03:36,113
You're a husband and a father,
and a doctor who's needed here.
44
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:37,914
I hate this letter.
45
00:03:44,991 --> 00:03:49,588
After the shock wore off, we
realized that we're lucky in one way.
46
00:03:50,030 --> 00:03:53,057
At least I'm gonna be close enough
to get home on weekend passes.
47
00:03:53,133 --> 00:03:55,500
Mmm-hmm. You never
can tell with the Army.
48
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:58,471
Might have been sent
to Texas, even Wyoming.
49
00:03:58,538 --> 00:04:01,736
- You gonna get any rank?
- Yep. First lieutenant.
50
00:04:02,843 --> 00:04:06,575
You know, when I joined
the ROTC in medical school,
51
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:08,308
we never thought it
would come to this.
52
00:04:08,381 --> 00:04:12,113
- What's the ROTC?
- Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
53
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:14,851
A bunch of us would meet
for a half hour on Saturdays,
54
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:17,356
we'd shoot the breeze
and pick up our checks.
55
00:04:18,158 --> 00:04:21,060
If I was old enough, I'd go
to Canada and join the RAF.
56
00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:23,620
- What's the RAF?
- The Royal Air Force.
57
00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:26,967
They'd probably start me off
ferrying bombers across the Atlantic.
58
00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:28,899
You'd do anything
to fly a plane.
59
00:04:28,969 --> 00:04:30,904
I'd do anything to fly
one of their airplanes.
60
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:34,374
I can see myself flying
around in one of those Spitfires.
61
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:37,343
They've got a cannon that fires
through the propeller of the airplane.
62
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:40,005
I might even be Walton's
Mountain's first air ace.
63
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,358
Come home with so many
medals, I couldn't even walk straight.
64
00:04:42,382 --> 00:04:46,581
Listen to that James Robert.
He's half bird, half boy.
65
00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:49,248
Jim-Bob, until now, I
enjoyed your imagination.
66
00:04:49,322 --> 00:04:51,621
Mama, it's a good chance
to learn to fly for free.
67
00:04:51,691 --> 00:04:54,320
I'd just as soon you paid for
your lessons and stayed right here.
68
00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:57,296
I'd never join up. They'd
have to come and drag me.
69
00:04:57,798 --> 00:05:00,097
With me, there isn't
any choice, Ben.
70
00:05:00,167 --> 00:05:01,692
You sound as if you want to go.
71
00:05:01,768 --> 00:05:06,536
No. No, it's just gonna take
some getting used to, Mary Ellen,
72
00:05:06,606 --> 00:05:08,370
and you're gonna
have your whole family.
73
00:05:08,441 --> 00:05:11,502
I won't have my whole
family. You won't be here.
74
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:15,180
Why is it that men like
marching off to war?
75
00:05:15,248 --> 00:05:16,841
I'm not gonna be marching off.
76
00:05:16,917 --> 00:05:19,250
I'm gonna be taking care
of people, the same as here,
77
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,618
except they'll be
soldiers doing their duty.
78
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:23,554
I don't understand why
a man can't stay home
79
00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:26,320
and take care of his wife and
baby, even if he is a doctor.
80
00:05:26,393 --> 00:05:27,691
We're not even at war!
81
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:29,696
Not too far off, Livie.
82
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:31,527
England's at war with Germany.
83
00:05:31,598 --> 00:05:32,896
They are not us.
84
00:05:32,966 --> 00:05:35,197
England is being bombed.
85
00:05:35,268 --> 00:05:36,998
Some say our days of
peace are numbered.
86
00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:39,699
Well, that's the
feeling that I have, too.
87
00:05:39,773 --> 00:05:42,538
And I know how short of doctors
they were during the last war.
88
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:44,510
I just want to do
whatever I can.
89
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:50,078
Well, Curt, I'll bet you'll look
real good in your uniform.
90
00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:52,446
Yeah, but not too good.
91
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:54,784
I don't want those
nurses getting any ideas.
92
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:58,690
What are you talking about? What
am I supposed to do if I get lonely?
93
00:05:58,758 --> 00:06:00,989
Well, you could sit down
and write a letter to me.
94
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:11,398
Curt, I hope you'll forgive
me if I don't see you off.
95
00:06:13,073 --> 00:06:16,100
I vowed I'd never see another
member of this family off to war.
96
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,618
Here comes the
bus, late as usual.
97
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:30,550
- Bye.
- Bye.
98
00:06:30,624 --> 00:06:32,235
- Good luck, Curt.
- Bye. Okay. Thank you.
99
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:34,626
Okay, say goodbye, now. Let
them say goodbye. Come on.
100
00:06:34,694 --> 00:06:35,855
See you soon.
101
00:06:35,929 --> 00:06:37,529
- Take care.
- Goodbye, Zeb.
102
00:06:38,131 --> 00:06:40,566
It's not the end of
the world, honey.
103
00:06:40,634 --> 00:06:42,500
It is to me.
104
00:06:42,569 --> 00:06:44,162
You write to me.
105
00:06:46,106 --> 00:06:48,268
- You, too.
- I'll see you soon.
106
00:07:08,495 --> 00:07:09,724
Bye.
107
00:07:09,796 --> 00:07:11,287
- Bye-bye.
- See you later, Curt.
108
00:07:19,572 --> 00:07:22,371
- Hey, it's G.W.
- Yeah. He looks good.
109
00:07:23,576 --> 00:07:24,737
G.W.!
110
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:26,938
Hey, Erin.
111
00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:28,606
I didn't know you
were coming home.
112
00:07:28,682 --> 00:07:30,048
Me and my buddy got a furlough.
113
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:32,028
I don't think they could stand
us any longer at Camp Lee.
114
00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:34,851
- Aren't you a good soldier?
- Worst you ever saw.
115
00:07:35,722 --> 00:07:38,624
- Your folks know you're coming home?
- I'm going to surprise them.
116
00:07:38,692 --> 00:07:40,092
Well, come on.
117
00:07:42,362 --> 00:07:44,173
- Welcome home, G.W.
- Good to see you, son.
118
00:07:44,197 --> 00:07:46,393
- Put her there.
- Good to see you.
119
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,458
Daddy, can I borrow the
coupe to take G.W. home?
120
00:07:48,535 --> 00:07:51,004
Fine with me. Hop in
if you can find room.
121
00:07:51,071 --> 00:07:52,300
All aboard.
122
00:08:01,848 --> 00:08:03,859
I'm thinking of this road and
remembering how pretty it is
123
00:08:03,883 --> 00:08:06,250
sometimes when
I'm falling off to sleep.
124
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,481
I haven't heard
from you in weeks.
125
00:08:08,555 --> 00:08:10,547
I'm not much of a
hand at writing letters.
126
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:15,291
You got to write one in
order to get one. You owe me.
127
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:19,556
Okay, here's a letter.
128
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:24,427
"Dear Erin, I'm sure glad
you met me at the bus."
129
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:27,434
That's a letter?
130
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:29,408
"And that I'm away
from Camp Lee."
131
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:34,507
You sure came back
at a beautiful time.
132
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:37,745
It's always beautiful here.
133
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:06,711
- Bye-bye.
- Thanks.
134
00:09:20,593 --> 00:09:21,593
George.
135
00:09:55,495 --> 00:09:58,397
- You'll be hungry.
- Yes, ma'am.
136
00:10:10,176 --> 00:10:12,805
Why, you look
taller. Did you grow?
137
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:14,507
I believe I have. Yes, sir.
138
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:19,019
Come on, let's have some coffee.
139
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:22,817
Uh, I'll be in soon. I wanna
get used to home again.
140
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:25,786
All right, Son.
141
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,379
There you go, sleeping again.
142
00:10:46,446 --> 00:10:49,541
You don't care what's
going on, do you?
143
00:10:49,616 --> 00:10:52,245
Well, it's just you and me
now, John Curtis Willard.
144
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:54,317
I'll tell you one thing,
145
00:10:54,387 --> 00:10:56,288
I'm sure not gonna raise
you to be any soldier.
146
00:10:57,323 --> 00:11:01,317
What's the use of having a war anyway?
They just finish one and start another.
147
00:11:02,896 --> 00:11:04,990
And then all the men go
marching off and they leave
148
00:11:05,064 --> 00:11:08,091
people like you and me sitting
around talking to ourselves.
149
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,266
But you and me,
150
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:15,936
we're gonna make out just fine.
151
00:11:19,112 --> 00:11:20,375
Mary Ellen?
152
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:31,852
- Could you use a mama?
- Sure could.
153
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:39,960
- How about a daddy to boot?
- I'm not very proud of myself.
154
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:44,262
Until Curt gets back, you and my
grandson are coming home with us.
155
00:11:45,772 --> 00:11:47,468
I'd love that.
156
00:11:57,417 --> 00:12:03,186
Mmm, sure do feel good, Sissy,
darling. Just like a dog scratching fleas.
157
00:12:03,256 --> 00:12:06,158
If you've got fleas, Yancy
Tucker, our engagement's off.
158
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:08,422
How long has it been on and off?
159
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:12,659
It's been more on than
off. Five or 10, give or take.
160
00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:15,563
Hey, looky there.
161
00:12:15,635 --> 00:12:19,572
There's G.W. Haines in his
uniform. Come on over here and sit.
162
00:12:22,475 --> 00:12:23,807
Hey, G.W.
163
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:26,437
- Howdy.
- How are you? Good to see you.
164
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:27,590
What will you men have?
165
00:12:27,614 --> 00:12:29,344
- Beer will be fine.
- Yeah, beer.
166
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:32,783
Yeah, bring us four beers,
Sissy. And I'm buying.
167
00:12:32,852 --> 00:12:35,412
G.W., you look right
fine in your uniform.
168
00:12:35,488 --> 00:12:37,047
- Thanks.
- And you, too.
169
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:40,093
- Thank you.
- Now, you remember, Sissy, I'm buying.
170
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:41,559
You said that, Horace.
171
00:12:41,628 --> 00:12:44,359
And Yancy here, he's
buying the second round.
172
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:45,830
I didn't say that.
173
00:12:46,499 --> 00:12:47,810
North Atlantic waters.
174
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:50,212
Jason, would you stop playing
the music, so I can hear the news?
175
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:52,171
Despite England's
protective move,
176
00:12:52,238 --> 00:12:54,238
figures tonight reveal
that German raiders
177
00:12:54,262 --> 00:12:56,334
capture or sink cargo
ships almost at will,
178
00:12:56,409 --> 00:13:01,712
with thousands of tons of vital supplies
lost at sea beyond the U.S. security zone.
179
00:13:02,515 --> 00:13:05,110
The German U-boats are
winning the Battle of the Atlantic.
180
00:13:05,818 --> 00:13:09,220
Toda y, they were sighted off
Iceland by a British patrol plane,
181
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:11,520
and depth charges were dropped.
182
00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:15,494
Thus, the 1,000 year isolation
of Iceland has been broken
183
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:18,258
by a war it did not bargain for.
184
00:13:18,331 --> 00:13:21,824
Concerned that there could be
U-boats lying off American shores,
185
00:13:21,901 --> 00:13:26,032
President Roosevelt has issued
naval orders to search and patrol.
186
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:28,540
This has been Arthur
Wells, reporting...
187
00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:30,167
It's getting close to home.
188
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,241
Iceland?
189
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:35,214
Ain't that on our
side of the ocean?
190
00:13:36,349 --> 00:13:40,719
Before you know it, they'll be
shelling New York and Norfolk
191
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:42,813
and the whole East Coast!
192
00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:45,290
- To our boys!
- To our men!
193
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:49,053
This round's on me.
194
00:13:51,097 --> 00:13:53,657
This country has
been good to me.
195
00:13:53,733 --> 00:13:55,361
I'm going to fight the Hun.
196
00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:59,837
Oh, Yancy, that's
just the beer talking.
197
00:13:59,906 --> 00:14:02,273
No, no, it is not. I've
given it a lot of thought.
198
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:03,674
I'm signing up!
199
00:14:06,145 --> 00:14:10,446
Yancy, you'll come back a
bigger hero than Ep Bridges.
200
00:14:12,218 --> 00:14:15,814
Sissy, would you be
proud to marry a soldier?
201
00:14:15,888 --> 00:14:18,756
It's the patriotic
thing to do. Yes.
202
00:14:18,825 --> 00:14:20,953
Then we're going
to do it right now!
203
00:14:21,027 --> 00:14:22,962
We'll drive to Rockfish,
204
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:27,967
and Justice Farrell can marry us right
now! In 10 minutes, he can do the job!
205
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:29,525
Oh, no, Yancy Tucker.
206
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:31,764
We're getting married
in the Baptist church.
207
00:14:31,838 --> 00:14:34,000
And Jason's going to be
playing the wedding march,
208
00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:36,702
and I'm going to be
wearing a long, white trail
209
00:14:36,776 --> 00:14:39,336
and be carrying
mountain laurel and violets.
210
00:14:39,412 --> 00:14:42,576
But, Sissy, I get
nervous in a church.
211
00:14:42,648 --> 00:14:45,914
Oh, precious, all
bridegrooms get nervous.
212
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:47,578
You're hooked, Yancy.
213
00:14:47,653 --> 00:14:49,431
Jason, play something
for the bride and groom.
214
00:14:49,455 --> 00:14:50,718
And drinks on the house.
215
00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:20,586
- Come in.
- I did.
216
00:15:23,823 --> 00:15:25,689
Oh, I can't see yet, Ben.
217
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:27,056
That's okay.
218
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:29,652
Jason told me that you and Sissy
are getting married on Sunday.
219
00:15:31,998 --> 00:15:34,467
- When's Sunday?
- Well, it's tomorrow!
220
00:15:35,802 --> 00:15:36,997
Don't scream.
221
00:15:37,737 --> 00:15:39,137
Congratulations.
222
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:41,768
Thank you, thank you.
223
00:15:41,841 --> 00:15:43,285
I also came by to tell
you that I'll take care
224
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:45,244
of all your animals
when you're in the Army.
225
00:15:45,845 --> 00:15:49,213
Oh, Ben, that was
worrying me sick,
226
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:54,952
who'd take care of my pets
while I was at camp and over there.
227
00:15:55,021 --> 00:15:56,284
That's why I'm here.
228
00:15:57,056 --> 00:15:59,616
I mean, Sissy can
take care of herself,
229
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:03,862
but what about
Tiger and Earl here?
230
00:16:04,931 --> 00:16:05,931
Down, Earl.
231
00:16:08,534 --> 00:16:10,867
And the piglets
and the little ducks.
232
00:16:11,437 --> 00:16:13,668
They need a home.
They need family.
233
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:15,533
Ben,
234
00:16:17,076 --> 00:16:18,669
you're family.
235
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:21,213
I'm proud you feel
that way, Yancy.
236
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,980
So we'll just crate them all up
and take them down to your house.
237
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:28,980
I was gonna take
care of them right here.
238
00:16:29,055 --> 00:16:32,890
No, no, they need a
home. They need a family.
239
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:36,828
Oh, confound it, Ben,
you got a good heart.
240
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:43,397
Here are his blankets.
Sun-dried, just like you said.
241
00:16:43,469 --> 00:16:45,961
Mmm, they're still warm.
He'll love them, Elizabeth.
242
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,132
Can I try? I used to
practice on my dolls.
243
00:16:50,209 --> 00:16:52,554
Why don't you let me show
you first? And then you can do it.
244
00:16:52,578 --> 00:16:55,514
See, you put your hand here
between the cloth and the baby's skin.
245
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:58,608
So, that way, if you stick
something, it'll be you instead of him.
246
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:01,076
Hi, Mama, here's the mail.
247
00:17:02,622 --> 00:17:04,591
You know, it's much
easier on my dolls.
248
00:17:04,657 --> 00:17:06,853
But not half as
satisfying. How is Curt?
249
00:17:07,293 --> 00:17:09,990
Oh, he's fine. He misses
us and sends his love.
250
00:17:10,062 --> 00:17:11,394
It's your turn, Elizabeth.
251
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:13,832
Here you go.
252
00:17:14,734 --> 00:17:17,363
He wrote it and mailed it to
me on the way to Camp Lee.
253
00:17:17,436 --> 00:17:18,495
Ow!
254
00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:21,073
I'll get it right, don't worry.
255
00:17:29,415 --> 00:17:31,281
- Hey, John.
- Hi, Yancy.
256
00:17:35,354 --> 00:17:37,599
Daddy, you know how I asked
permission to take care of Yancy's pets?
257
00:17:37,623 --> 00:17:38,623
Uh-huh.
258
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:40,936
Yancy is so grateful that
they'll have family here with us,
259
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,895
I just couldn't turn him down.
260
00:17:42,962 --> 00:17:45,329
You know Yancy's animals
sleep in the house with him, Son?
261
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:49,199
I know, Daddy, but he's going into
the service. I can't turn him down.
262
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:51,461
Well, I can. Yancy.
263
00:17:52,271 --> 00:17:57,005
Now, you be a good little nipper until
your daddy gets back from over there.
264
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:59,204
- Yancy.
- Yeah, John?
265
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:13,082
Bring him along, he
can stay with Chance.
266
00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:26,415
Liv, you're sure you won't change
your mind and come to the wedding?
267
00:18:26,439 --> 00:18:27,883
I think I'll stay here
with Mary Ellen.
268
00:18:27,907 --> 00:18:30,519
Yancy and me been through a lot
together. I got to see him through this.
269
00:18:30,543 --> 00:18:33,638
I wouldn't miss seeing Yancy get
hitched for anything. Serves him right.
270
00:18:33,713 --> 00:18:36,205
- It just might straighten him out.
- It straightened me out.
271
00:18:37,883 --> 00:18:40,876
- Bye-bye, Mama.
- Goodbye, Erin.
272
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:45,815
Erin!
273
00:18:45,891 --> 00:18:48,292
- I thought I'd walk you to the wedding.
- All right.
274
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,272
Weekends are the hardest.
275
00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:23,488
I love you truly Truly dear
276
00:19:24,363 --> 00:19:32,363
Life with its sorrow
Life with its tear
277
00:19:35,074 --> 00:19:43,074
Fades into dreams
When I feel you are near
278
00:19:46,786 --> 00:19:54,786
For I love you truly Truly dear
279
00:21:14,473 --> 00:21:17,602
Marriage is an institution
of divine appointment.
280
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:20,544
It is the most
important step in life.
281
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:24,744
And as such, it should not be
entered into unadvisedly or lightly,
282
00:21:24,817 --> 00:21:28,584
but rather discreetly
and soberly.
283
00:21:28,654 --> 00:21:32,284
In this estate, these people
come now to be joined.
284
00:21:32,358 --> 00:21:36,420
If anyone present knows of any cause
why they may not be lawfully joined,
285
00:21:36,495 --> 00:21:39,897
let him speak now or else
hereafter forever hold his peace.
286
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:55,111
Do you, sir, take this
woman to be your lawful wife?
287
00:21:55,181 --> 00:21:57,741
And do you promise,
before God and witnesses,
288
00:21:57,817 --> 00:22:03,154
to love her, honor her, comfort her,
and keep her in sickness and in health,
289
00:22:03,222 --> 00:22:05,609
and forsaking all
others, keep thee only
290
00:22:05,633 --> 00:22:08,286
unto her for as long
as you both shall live?
291
00:22:13,299 --> 00:22:14,299
I do.
292
00:22:20,439 --> 00:22:25,104
From those trees to the fence over
there. This is land my parents gave me.
293
00:22:26,412 --> 00:22:28,540
This is rich land.
294
00:22:28,614 --> 00:22:31,140
I wish you never had
to go back to Camp Lee.
295
00:22:33,285 --> 00:22:34,514
Are you scared?
296
00:22:34,587 --> 00:22:37,318
We're all scared. But it's
something we have to do.
297
00:22:40,092 --> 00:22:41,924
The other day before furlough,
298
00:22:41,994 --> 00:22:43,929
as bullets and grenades
blew the land apart,
299
00:22:43,996 --> 00:22:46,727
I thought, "This land
will never be the same."
300
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:51,132
I wondered who first
owned it, who first worked it.
301
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:53,331
Who used it as God
wanted it to be used.
302
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:57,103
And what farmers, like my father
and me, could do with it even now.
303
00:22:59,945 --> 00:23:03,279
I've hunted since I was a
boy. Put meat on the table.
304
00:23:04,617 --> 00:23:08,452
Now I know what a bird or a
rabbit feels like when it's hunted.
305
00:23:09,989 --> 00:23:11,457
Now it's as if it's a real war.
306
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:15,990
G.W., do you ever wish
you hadn't joined up?
307
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:30,406
I don't believe in war, but
I want to do what's right.
308
00:23:30,476 --> 00:23:32,502
I love my country.
309
00:23:56,468 --> 00:23:59,165
You better hurry if you
wanna see G.W. off on the bus.
310
00:23:59,238 --> 00:24:00,536
I know, Mama.
311
00:24:02,174 --> 00:24:04,405
It's kind of hard seeing
him off again, isn't it?
312
00:24:06,178 --> 00:24:09,444
Mama, have you noticed the way
G.W. carries himself in his uniform?
313
00:24:09,515 --> 00:24:13,077
- He sure changed a lot.
- He's scared.
314
00:24:14,253 --> 00:24:16,298
When I used to look at
photographs of your daddy in uniform,
315
00:24:16,322 --> 00:24:18,188
I was the one who was scared.
316
00:24:18,257 --> 00:24:21,056
But Daddy signed up
because he thought he had to.
317
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:24,961
- G.W. signed up because of me.
- Now, don't you go feeling guilty.
318
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:29,491
- Boys join up for a lot of reasons.
- He was trying to impress me, Mama.
319
00:24:29,568 --> 00:24:32,697
He won't say it, but I know
he wishes he hadn't joined up.
320
00:24:33,906 --> 00:24:37,434
I heard Mr. Kaltenborn say on the radio
that this is only gonna last six months.
321
00:24:37,509 --> 00:24:39,137
I'm going to cling to that.
322
00:24:40,913 --> 00:24:44,281
- Who's doing that?
- Jim-Bob.
323
00:24:44,350 --> 00:24:47,878
He says he's gonna drive you and
G.W. to the bus, so you two can talk.
324
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:49,683
He'll do anything
to drive a car.
325
00:25:01,734 --> 00:25:04,795
- Jim-Bob, that's enough.
- Sorry, Mama.
326
00:25:06,905 --> 00:25:09,101
I'd drive you in my car,
but it has three flats.
327
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:11,541
Say goodbye to G.W.
for me. Wish him luck.
328
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:13,602
- I will, Mama.
- Bye, Mama.
329
00:25:17,082 --> 00:25:20,211
Mama, will you feed
these to the pigs for me?
330
00:25:20,285 --> 00:25:22,777
You're the one who
volunteered to feed Yancy's pigs.
331
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:24,118
But I got to see Yancy off.
332
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:26,158
Today's the day he goes
to Richmond to enlist.
333
00:25:26,225 --> 00:25:29,059
Besides, Daddy said I
could borrow the truck.
334
00:25:29,128 --> 00:25:31,495
- Just this once.
- Thanks, Mama.
335
00:25:40,339 --> 00:25:42,934
Mama, can I go, too?
336
00:25:43,008 --> 00:25:46,376
Well, I guess I won't get too
lonesome. I've always got Yancy's pigs.
337
00:25:46,445 --> 00:25:48,744
Thank you. Ben, wait for me.
338
00:25:53,352 --> 00:25:54,843
Hello, piggies.
339
00:25:58,023 --> 00:26:01,824
Here we go. Are you
hungry? Come on.
340
00:26:05,798 --> 00:26:08,666
Come here. There you go.
341
00:26:12,371 --> 00:26:14,567
You'll get your
turn. Just hang on.
342
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:17,775
Come on.
343
00:26:18,744 --> 00:26:19,744
Here.
344
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:23,641
Behave yourself. Come
over there. Come on.
345
00:26:23,782 --> 00:26:24,782
Come on.
346
00:26:25,617 --> 00:26:27,745
It doesn't seem that long ago.
347
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:30,221
Your ninth birthday,
when we gave you Red.
348
00:26:30,289 --> 00:26:32,656
Yeah, he came right
up to me on the field.
349
00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:36,786
He probably remembers you slept
in the barn with him for a full week.
350
00:26:36,862 --> 00:26:39,525
He was the prettiest foal
old Nellie ever gave us.
351
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:43,365
I can still see the two of them
running, kicking up their heels together.
352
00:26:49,675 --> 00:26:52,167
- Goodbye, Mama.
- Goodbye, Son.
353
00:26:54,246 --> 00:26:56,112
I'll be home on
my next furlough.
354
00:26:58,083 --> 00:27:00,177
Son, take care of yourself.
355
00:27:11,563 --> 00:27:14,795
- I bet your folks were glad to see you.
- It seemed awful short.
356
00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:45,955
Hey, G.W., are there
any secret military bases
357
00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:47,055
down where you are?
358
00:27:47,132 --> 00:27:49,533
I'm in the infantry.
I wouldn't know.
359
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:51,832
But you got eyes.
You must hear a lot.
360
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:56,173
Men in the service aren't
supposed to talk about such things.
361
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:58,403
President Roosevelt
says on the radio
362
00:27:58,477 --> 00:28:00,571
that we're going to build
50,000 airplanes a year.
363
00:28:00,646 --> 00:28:02,080
It's got to be for the war.
364
00:28:02,714 --> 00:28:04,444
You must hear more than we do.
365
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:08,009
Don't you see a lot of airplanes
flying over? Fighters, bombers?
366
00:28:08,086 --> 00:28:10,885
They got an amphibian that
can land on land and water.
367
00:28:10,956 --> 00:28:15,052
They say it's for wildlife surveys, but
I'll bet you it's for submarine lookout.
368
00:28:15,127 --> 00:28:16,618
Did you see any
of those flying over?
369
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:20,655
Jim-Bob, I don't think G.W. is as
interested in airplanes as you are.
370
00:28:22,067 --> 00:28:25,094
If we do go to war, when do
you think you'll be shipping out?
371
00:28:25,170 --> 00:28:27,503
We're not supposed to
talk about such things.
372
00:28:27,573 --> 00:28:29,940
Boy, that's really dumb.
373
00:29:18,957 --> 00:29:22,519
Well, Yancy, you ought to
have one more for the road!
374
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:26,993
For the road? One more for me.
375
00:29:27,065 --> 00:29:30,524
Yancy, you've got to be sober
when you get to Richmond.
376
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:33,162
Sissy, Richmond's 84 miles away.
377
00:29:34,673 --> 00:29:37,006
Yancy, do you know
how proud we are of you?
378
00:29:39,111 --> 00:29:42,377
Wedding bells
379
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:50,384
Will ring so merrily Every tear
380
00:29:50,455 --> 00:29:58,455
Will be a memory
So we'll wait and pray
381
00:29:59,131 --> 00:30:07,131
Each night for you
Till we meet again
382
00:30:15,213 --> 00:30:17,079
Horace, that's another war.
383
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:20,176
That's right, this is my war!
384
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:23,519
Yancy, you take care, you hear?
385
00:30:23,588 --> 00:30:25,887
It's the Hun better take care!
386
00:30:25,957 --> 00:30:27,152
Yeah!
387
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,440
I love you, Erin.
388
00:31:01,226 --> 00:31:03,504
Hey, Yancy, I'll take pictures of
your pets and send them to you.
389
00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:04,723
Hey, you do that, Ben.
390
00:31:04,796 --> 00:31:06,641
I'll put them in my wallet,
right alongside of Sissy.
391
00:31:06,665 --> 00:31:07,997
Not your pigs.
392
00:31:08,066 --> 00:31:11,525
Okay, Sissy, I'll put you in a special
spot. Right here over my heart.
393
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:15,039
I'm fine, I'm fine.
394
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,502
Are you writing her two letters?
395
00:31:51,977 --> 00:31:54,208
For her father?
Asking for her hand?
396
00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:11,927
I've been looking
all over for you.
397
00:32:11,997 --> 00:32:13,761
Mama says it's time
to come to supper.
398
00:32:13,832 --> 00:32:15,596
I'll be along, Jim-Bob.
399
00:32:15,667 --> 00:32:18,068
- Who you writing to?
- G.W.
400
00:32:18,136 --> 00:32:20,799
You just saw him. What's
there to write about already?
401
00:32:20,872 --> 00:32:23,137
I'll be along, Jim-Bob.
402
00:32:23,208 --> 00:32:25,200
Besides, he's kind of dull.
403
00:32:25,277 --> 00:32:29,180
He won't even talk about the airplanes
he sees flying up and down the coast.
404
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:31,546
If you ask me,
G.W. is just dumb.
405
00:32:42,928 --> 00:32:45,864
I've never seen little pigs
eat so much. And so often.
406
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:48,696
Them little pigs are just trying
to make hogs of themselves.
407
00:32:48,767 --> 00:32:50,759
Yancy's calf needs
feeding too, Son.
408
00:32:50,836 --> 00:32:52,580
Yeah, I'll do that after
I separate the milk.
409
00:32:52,604 --> 00:32:55,005
And don't forget to
feed Yancy's chickens.
410
00:32:55,073 --> 00:32:58,373
- And his dog!
- You don't have to rub it in!
411
00:32:59,544 --> 00:33:02,742
- Say goodbye to everybody for me.
- We will. You give our love to Curt.
412
00:33:03,081 --> 00:33:04,140
I will.
413
00:33:04,216 --> 00:33:07,136
Mary Ellen, I thought Curt was gonna
be able to come home on the weekends.
414
00:33:07,185 --> 00:33:09,211
Does the Army break promises?
415
00:33:09,287 --> 00:33:12,314
When I see his commanding officer,
that's the first thing I'm gonna ask him.
416
00:33:15,527 --> 00:33:17,018
I've never been
away from him before.
417
00:33:17,095 --> 00:33:19,223
Don't you worry, we'll
take good care of him.
418
00:33:19,698 --> 00:33:21,132
Bye, Mama.
419
00:33:22,701 --> 00:33:23,828
Bye, honey.
420
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:32,972
Bye.
421
00:33:33,044 --> 00:33:34,205
Bye, now.
422
00:33:52,264 --> 00:33:54,495
Now, where have
I seen this before?
423
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:58,462
I don't know whether to be sad
for Mary Ellen or happy for me.
424
00:33:58,537 --> 00:34:01,632
Well, be happy for Mary Ellen.
She's probably with Curt by now.
425
00:34:03,208 --> 00:34:05,871
It's been a long time since
we had a baby in this room.
426
00:34:05,944 --> 00:34:08,004
It certainly has.
427
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:10,139
Seems like old times.
428
00:34:10,215 --> 00:34:12,548
Which feeding do you
want? The 2:00 or the 6:00?
429
00:34:13,952 --> 00:34:16,751
Oh, now, Liv, I'm not sure
I still have the knack for it.
430
00:34:16,821 --> 00:34:19,347
Don't worry, I won't
let you have either one.
431
00:34:21,426 --> 00:34:23,895
Look at that. Look at that.
432
00:34:55,727 --> 00:34:56,922
Yancy!
433
00:34:58,563 --> 00:35:00,122
What are you doing back so soon?
434
00:35:03,768 --> 00:35:06,829
Can you get me out of town
before anybody else sees me?
435
00:35:06,905 --> 00:35:08,203
Hop in.
436
00:35:19,718 --> 00:35:21,619
What happened, Yance?
437
00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:23,882
I got turned down,
that's what happened.
438
00:35:23,955 --> 00:35:25,184
How come?
439
00:35:26,191 --> 00:35:27,784
Said I was 4-F.
440
00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:29,493
And if that wasn't bad enough,
441
00:35:29,561 --> 00:35:32,087
that man in the White House
and his social security numbers
442
00:35:33,198 --> 00:35:35,099
claim I was over 32.
443
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:37,658
Yeah, you are over
32, aren't you, Yance?
444
00:35:37,736 --> 00:35:41,264
What difference does that make, John,
if a man wants to go fight for his country?
445
00:35:43,274 --> 00:35:45,573
I'll never get in now.
446
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:47,704
Even if I get my
flat feet fixed.
447
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:51,911
Well, now, Yance, I think you
should be proud of yourself.
448
00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:57,251
Trying to get in, even though you know
you're over 32 and not in tip-top shape.
449
00:36:00,191 --> 00:36:02,285
We wouldn't have to
mention that part about
450
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,000
the flat feet to anybody,
would we, John?
451
00:36:04,062 --> 00:36:06,429
- Even to Sissy?
- Not me, Yance.
452
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:12,198
Just so long as you take
back your calf and your pigs
453
00:36:12,270 --> 00:36:13,898
and your chickens and your dog.
454
00:36:13,972 --> 00:36:18,376
Oh, I fully intend to do that,
John. I sure miss them critters.
455
00:36:19,144 --> 00:36:20,703
Tell me, how's old Tiger?
456
00:36:21,479 --> 00:36:23,311
Getting along fine, Yance.
457
00:36:28,787 --> 00:36:31,552
You just can't get over what
Ben and I have done, can you?
458
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:35,058
It'll take a little getting
used to, Sissy, dear.
459
00:36:35,126 --> 00:36:38,153
I tried to fix it up like a picture
I saw in House Beautiful.
460
00:36:44,469 --> 00:36:46,904
It sounds like my little
baby calf is cold outside.
461
00:36:46,971 --> 00:36:48,837
He'll be a cow
before you know it.
462
00:36:51,242 --> 00:36:53,040
Be a cow before you know it.
463
00:36:54,312 --> 00:36:55,712
That's funny, Sissy.
464
00:37:00,785 --> 00:37:04,119
Do you know how long Tiger
and I have been sleeping together?
465
00:37:04,189 --> 00:37:06,590
Yancy Tucker, it's
either me or that dog.
466
00:37:12,363 --> 00:37:14,992
I just can't leave Tiger
out on a cold night like this!
467
00:37:18,002 --> 00:37:20,699
Oh, no, you don't. Oh, no.
468
00:37:21,172 --> 00:37:23,266
Wait a minute, Sissy,
dear, wait a minute.
469
00:37:23,341 --> 00:37:28,575
Now, I've heard that a good
marriage is a pack of compromise.
470
00:37:29,681 --> 00:37:32,276
How about if Tiger
sleeps under the bed, huh?
471
00:37:32,884 --> 00:37:36,321
Come on, Tiger, under
the bed. Go on, Tiger.
472
00:37:40,658 --> 00:37:42,593
I'll settle for that.
473
00:38:30,475 --> 00:38:32,671
Mary Ellen, what are
you doing home so soon?
474
00:38:34,813 --> 00:38:36,805
What's the matter?
Is Curt all right?
475
00:38:39,017 --> 00:38:42,579
Daddy, can you take the van and meet Curt
at the train station in Charlottesville?
476
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:44,554
What's wrong?
477
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:50,625
G.W. was killed in a training
accident at Camp Lee.
478
00:38:50,695 --> 00:38:53,062
- What?
- Curt has to bring him home.
479
00:39:31,669 --> 00:39:33,570
I brought G.W. home.
480
00:39:47,252 --> 00:39:48,550
It was early morning.
481
00:39:50,555 --> 00:39:52,524
Hand grenade
drill, one at a time.
482
00:39:54,692 --> 00:39:59,289
G.W.'s turn first, with other personnel
50 yards away from where he was,
483
00:39:59,364 --> 00:40:02,994
to throw the grenade over this
fence where the enemy was.
484
00:40:05,136 --> 00:40:08,436
They'd practiced for days
with bottles filled with water.
485
00:40:08,506 --> 00:40:10,907
But that particular
morning, it was live.
486
00:40:12,944 --> 00:40:14,412
Offensive grenade.
487
00:40:16,714 --> 00:40:20,674
So, he pulled the pin,
488
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,420
and he stepped up out of the shell
hole, and he swung his arm back,
489
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:30,292
and there was a rabbit,
feeding along the fence.
490
00:40:32,697 --> 00:40:35,633
G.W. hesitated just
for a split second,
491
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:40,064
and then he threw the
grenade high, far up into the air
492
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,703
where it exploded.
493
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:48,674
He was just a baby.
494
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:52,440
I remember him just as he was.
495
00:40:54,552 --> 00:40:56,043
I'm going to bed.
496
00:41:17,241 --> 00:41:20,302
John, you said to
tell how it happened.
497
00:41:21,279 --> 00:41:24,181
That's right. I want
it out in the open.
498
00:41:25,717 --> 00:41:27,913
There's a lot of young,
impressionable minds here.
499
00:41:29,153 --> 00:41:31,054
I don't like hiding
the truth from them.
500
00:41:34,058 --> 00:41:35,651
- Good night.
- Good night.
501
00:41:50,675 --> 00:41:53,042
You know, I taught
G.W. to dance.
502
00:41:56,180 --> 00:41:58,046
That was a little
before my time.
503
00:42:00,385 --> 00:42:02,445
He seemed like a fine boy.
504
00:42:04,856 --> 00:42:08,190
Boy. Yeah, that's all he was.
505
00:42:10,328 --> 00:42:12,422
He never even got a
chance to be a man.
506
00:42:33,951 --> 00:42:36,477
Jim-Bob, I think I'd
like to ride with you.
507
00:42:41,859 --> 00:42:44,954
You were all mighty quiet
at breakfast this morning.
508
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:47,664
I feel awful.
509
00:42:47,732 --> 00:42:51,396
I think all of us feel
awful at a time like this.
510
00:42:52,537 --> 00:42:55,803
Grandpa, I called G.W. dumb
and now I can't take it back.
511
00:42:55,873 --> 00:42:56,873
Mmm.
512
00:42:57,375 --> 00:43:00,277
When somebody dies,
we're racked with regret
513
00:43:00,344 --> 00:43:03,371
for fear we've said something
we hadn't ought to have said.
514
00:43:03,448 --> 00:43:05,178
Or left unsaid.
515
00:43:05,249 --> 00:43:09,653
Or wish we had said.
A word of praise or love.
516
00:43:10,688 --> 00:43:12,919
If you love, admire
and respect someone,
517
00:43:12,990 --> 00:43:16,290
it's not a bad idea to tell
them so from time to time.
518
00:43:17,462 --> 00:43:21,024
That way it makes living a
lot better for them and for you.
519
00:43:22,366 --> 00:43:25,165
What I said was awful.
And I really liked him.
520
00:43:25,236 --> 00:43:28,968
I think G.W. knew that.
521
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,532
- You think so?
- Oh, I know so.
522
00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:36,590
Don't worry about John
Curtis. He'll be just fine.
523
00:43:36,614 --> 00:43:37,614
Thanks, Elizabeth.
524
00:43:37,682 --> 00:43:39,014
Mama, who's riding with who?
525
00:43:39,083 --> 00:43:42,281
I'm riding with your daddy.
Erin, you come with us.
526
00:43:44,856 --> 00:43:48,884
Mama, Daddy, I can't go.
527
00:43:50,828 --> 00:43:53,559
- Erin.
- Let her go, Liv.
528
00:43:58,970 --> 00:44:03,066
We find it hard to accept
the loss of one so young.
529
00:44:03,141 --> 00:44:07,977
One whose life had just begun,
at the threshold of his years.
530
00:44:09,547 --> 00:44:13,484
He was a kind and gentle person,
531
00:44:13,551 --> 00:44:16,544
who felt deeply his
love for all living things.
532
00:44:18,022 --> 00:44:21,618
And we who mourn him can
find strength in the knowledge
533
00:44:21,692 --> 00:44:27,893
that he will be warmly accepted into the
sheltering arms of his Lord and Creator.
534
00:44:29,901 --> 00:44:33,804
Loving, grieving
parents, and dear friends,
535
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,974
Walton's Mountain has given
one of its finest young men.
536
00:44:39,911 --> 00:44:42,506
Let us thank God the war
has not reached our shores.
537
00:44:44,048 --> 00:44:49,316
It is happening in England,
France, and throughout Europe.
538
00:44:50,421 --> 00:44:51,616
I'll be back.
539
00:44:51,689 --> 00:44:53,681
Let this loss not be in vain,
540
00:44:55,726 --> 00:44:58,195
may it open our
eyes to realities.
541
00:44:59,730 --> 00:45:01,756
Let us take a moment
in silent prayer.
542
00:45:31,762 --> 00:45:33,594
I thought I'd find you here.
543
00:45:34,165 --> 00:45:37,329
Daddy, he was so scared.
Did Mama tell you that?
544
00:45:38,636 --> 00:45:41,629
There's not much your mama and
me keep from each other, honey.
545
00:45:44,642 --> 00:45:48,204
Erin, there is a letter
I've been keeping for you.
546
00:45:49,780 --> 00:45:53,182
He asked me to give it to you, in
case anything happened to him.
547
00:45:53,818 --> 00:45:55,377
Will you read it to me?
548
00:45:57,054 --> 00:45:58,420
Sure I will, honey.
549
00:46:06,030 --> 00:46:12,061
"Dear Erin, I am writing this on the
bus after we said goodbye at Rockfish.
550
00:46:14,071 --> 00:46:18,805
"I am returning to Camp Lee
and whatever fate may bring.
551
00:46:20,911 --> 00:46:23,437
"This, for legal
purposes, is a will.
552
00:46:24,215 --> 00:46:29,586
"I, George William Haines, on this
date, do bequeath to you, Erin Walton,
553
00:46:29,654 --> 00:46:31,418
"the bottom land acreage
554
00:46:32,890 --> 00:46:34,586
"given to me by my parents
555
00:46:34,659 --> 00:46:37,595
"and recorded in the Jefferson
County Hall of Records.
556
00:46:40,264 --> 00:46:45,726
"I know you will
love it and protect it.
557
00:46:47,738 --> 00:46:52,108
"Thank you for sharing my
thoughts and my dreams. G.W."
558
00:46:52,176 --> 00:46:53,474
Oh, Daddy.
559
00:47:00,785 --> 00:47:04,620
That first casualty brought
the war home to our Mountain.
560
00:47:04,689 --> 00:47:08,956
There were to be many more sacrifices
during the long war years ahead.
561
00:47:09,026 --> 00:47:13,327
But G. W. Haines was remembered
most especially because he was the first
562
00:47:13,397 --> 00:47:16,663
from our area to give the
fullest measure of his devotion.
563
00:47:18,769 --> 00:47:21,500
Where's Erin? - She's outside.
564
00:47:21,572 --> 00:47:24,235
- Is she alone?
- I don't think so.
565
00:47:24,308 --> 00:47:26,470
- Good night, Elizabeth.
- Good night, Mama.
566
