The army teaches you to act quick. I reached for my automatic, which of course I didn't have, so I let drive with a rock. I missed but that figure turned round and let me have it with his auto: matic. In wet weather, I can feel that shoulder yet sometimes, but then I hard ly noticed it, I Was SO flabbergasted by something else. That man was Meade. I felt exactly the way Deep had. I knew I had seen him. He had seen me too and he had Shot at me!
Everybody came Swarming out of headquarters. Two motorcycle men grabbed their machines and found them out of commission. The chauffeur, they found, wasn't killed, only knocked out. They gave me first aid, though I told them I didn't need it. I went on afoot. I was almost back to our town anyway. Next day they found the general's, car, in a ditch about a hundred kilometers away - a complete wreck.
Our billet was on the first floor of a factory that somehow had escaped bomb ing, and when I got in, I walked down the line with my flashlight to Meade's cot. He was snoring, dead to the world. I went back to my own cot and lay down, a little lightheaded. That Shoulder must have been punctured worse than I thought. All the rest of the night, I had crazy dreams and I remember wonder ing, like Deep, whether I was going nuts.
I ought to have gone to the hospital next morning but the whole town was full of rumors and I didn't want to'-miss anything. I was there, when they brought in the prisoner. So was Meade, and I don't believe in the whole world there were ever two men looked more alike. Capt. Evans stood them up Side by Side. They looked at each other and at us. Meade swore in English. The other chap swore in German - anyhow it sounded like swearing. The rest of us stared goggle-eyed.

Reseña del editor
September - forerunner of crisp fall days and football games... Now begins the grinding practice which provides the thrill-packed game later on. Perhaps the most colorful game of the year is that played between the United States Military and Naval Academies.
The player on this month's cover is Leon C. Bramlett, six feet one and weighing 195 lbs., from Clarksdale, Mississippi. Bramlett captained the Naval Academy's football team in 1946. No one who saw the Army-Navy game or heard it broadcast last fall will ever forget that great team or the splendid young man who was its captain.
A few days after the game the following letter came to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy. It is a fine tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Navy.
Dear Sir:
"Shortly after the surrender of Japan, several units of the United States Pacific Fleet put in at Colombo, Ceylon, on their way home. Many of the officers of these fleet units graduated from the Naval Academy the same year I graduated from West Point. These naval officers were full of buoyancy and excitement, still holding the keen edge of battle-fitness to which they had been honed during the war. I asked the group how it had been, out there in the naval battles of the Pacific. One of them flicked a glance at the great gray ships floating impressively in the harbor. When he looked at those vessels the pride shone in his face like a light. He said: 'We just beath the hell out of them, that's all.'
"Later, when I witnessed the disintegration of our Army and Navy and Air Force, I was depressed to think that the powerful spiritual tide which had lifted our Armed Forces to victory was ebbing, perhaps never to be seen again. War has few consolations, but certainly the greatest of these few is the opportunity to witness the growth of a team spirit, morale, esprit de corps - call it what you will - which overcomes the ego of the individual and lifts him to supreme heights of courage and determination as a member of a team. While thanking God for the end of a devastating war, I reserved a regret that I would see no more of that great team spirit for victory.
"But last Saturday, watching the Army-Navy game, I saw that spirit again in the Brigade of Midshipmen. A twelfth man was on the field playing with your Navy football team - a twelfth man placed there by the utter determination of the Middies of victory. It is not to disparage our own great West Point team that I say this. They won the game, in my opinion against odds of 12 to 11. I know beyond any doubt that should the conditions be reversed, you of Navy will in turn feel the terrible strength of the twelfth man. Yes sir, you had a twelfth man on the field last Saturday. I was over-joyed to know that he is still around. I heard great things of him at Midway and Tarawa and the Philippine Sea.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
