Courage Under Fire Page #4

Ill look over your statements.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, Colonel.

Thatll be all.

- Got something for me?

- I do, sir.

Walden's 201 file. Evaluation reports.

You know I'm going to need

background on these guys.

Make sure we don't have a wife-beater

or an illegal allen or gays.

Thatll blow it.

About this Congressional Medal of Honour.

It's not the Congressional Medal of Honour.

It's just the Medal of Honour.

Tell that to Congress.

If Captain Walden wins this medal...

You don't win it. You, uh, receive it.

It's not a contest.

But that is perfect. That is why I'm here.

I'm not here

to get down your throat, make you crazy,...

..take these facts and twist them.

I just want to get these nuances out

of your head and to get it straight from you.

- It's a woman.

- You didn't know?

What did you think the hoopla was about?

Banacek's got information

on three of Walden's men.

- The crew chief we're still tracking.

- This is Captain Karen Emma Walden.

She's the first woman ever to be nominated

for a Medal of Honour for combat.

I mean, this is gold.

It's gold.

Unfortunately it's posthumous,...

..but I've got her Little daughter.

I got the President of the United States.

It's all set in the Rose Garden.

The President's going to lean down and

hang that ribbon round that pretty face.

There is not going to be

a dry eye from Nashua to Sacramento.

Excuse us.

OK, it was 5 to 1,...

..hook shot.

Me and her are cheerleaders.

- More mashed potatoes.

- (woman) Sorry, no more potatoes,...

..but how about some bread?

Aah!

(Boylar) Aah!

Daddy, can I have your mashed potatoes?

Daddy?

Sir?

Can I have your mashed potatoes?

M... Yeah. Sure.

Yeah,...

..soldier.

You want 'em all?

(telephone rings)

That enough?

More?

Hello?

Yes.

Uh, who is calling, please?

Just a minute.

It's for you.

Who is it?

Somebody Gartner.

Want some more peas?

Excuse me.

Where are you going?

Fort Hood.

General Hershberg's got me investigating

a Medal of Honour.

It's a woman.

Good for her.

Posthumous.

Too bad, but still good for her.

Mmm. Too bad.

You talk to the investigators today?

Right.

It's all right, isn't it, Nat?

Yeah. Fine.

How long are you gone for?

Couple of days.

Then why are you emptying

your sock drawer?

I may be gone more than a couple of days.

Nat.

Yes.

I don't know what's happening.

Everything's fine.

I'm handling it.

(Nat) Mr. Rady,

you were Captain Walden's copilot.

That's right.

(Nat) Can you tell me

what you remember about AlKufan?

I remember the earth.

I remember... llario's face.

I wish...

- She hadn't needed to be a hero so bad.

- That's not fair.

We were just doing our job.

It's not Ren's fault I got hit.
