- Jammer orders a mocha, and walks to the line.
- He says
- "People, I give you Coffee's Toast.
- I wrote it 17 years ago, when we toasted Sgt. Coffee, ourselves, and
- those like us with 100 proof Wild Turkey, before heading down range.
-
- It is now 1700 and dark on December 31, 1992 in the Republic of Korea.
-
- First Sergeant, call the Roll!
- Sergeant Coffee, overdue from patrol.
- Dance of shadows,
- Dance of fears.
- Dance of battle,
- Winter of Tears."
-
- Jammer drinks, and throws his mug into the fire.
