 did n't deserve the the end I left him with and nothing I say now will take that back. 
 
 The Rookie and I stopped to catch out breath, and he looked up at me with such hope as to think that I knew what to do next. I told him that I was just as lost as he was, but he still did n't look at me any differently. I do n't think he was ever going to give up his heart of gold. Too bad he had to die to young. 
 `` Bartender'' The Rookie looked at me 
 `` Strike three kid.'' 
 `` I give up then'' he sighed 
 `` Grade School Teacher'' 
 `` What?'' 
 `` I was a Grade School Teacher, but I'm having a change in heart in the job market.'' 
 `` What are you thinking about pursuing?'' 
 `` what was it you said? Bartender? yeah that sounds like a good job'' I smiled at my little joke, `` and actually now would be a good time to start!'' I said grabbing the rest of Moreno's Whisky, `` I do n't think he would mind if you and I polish it off for him.'' I raised the flask to the sky `` here's to you guys, where ever you may be'' and took a swig. `` here you go kid'' 
 `` thanks'' he hesitated and then took a big gulp. The then practically coughed up a lung. The kid could n't hold himself upright after drinking the rest of the flask. We both were pretty drunk, but the kid was more so. Walking in the same direction was proving to be harder and harder and we were laughing so hard about all the cute little things you used to do, Caroline. The poor kid did n't even feel a thing when he fell into the man made spiked pit. He actually died with a smile on his face. Pvt. Ben `` The Rookie'' Horowitz died at the young age of 18. If I make it out of this I want to be the one who tells his parents how much of a good soldier their son was. 
 
 Caroline, as the lynching hour is upon me I want you to know how much I love you.
