the baby was still attached to her dead Mother sprawled in a ditch beside a rice paddy. doc separated them as best he could and tied the cord with cotton thread from his kit. the field was close to a VC controlled village we were sent to reconiter north of Da Nang. Lt Jason layed down his weapons and raised the little girl above his head and slowly crossed the field from the treeline into the village. an old Grandmother came jabbering up pushing two raised AKs out of the way and reached for the child and motioned for a younger woman to come take the little one. Grandmother took Jason's hand and walked him back to us at the edge of the treeline fussing all the way. she gave us a toothless grin and waved us away. an order we promptly obeyed. she turned and reversed her course once again scolding and pointing her bony finger at the AKs.
