Roger Harris in “Unfinished Business”

I had the opportunity to call my mother. And I told you she shouldn't believe what's she seeing on TV because we're losing the war. "You'll probably never see me again because we're the most northern outpost the Marines have. We can literally look right into North Vietnam. We can see the sparks when the guns fire on us." And I said, "Everybody in my unit is dying and I probably won't be coming back." Ma said, "No, you're coming back." She said, "I talk to God every day, and you're special. You're coming back." I said, "Ma, everybody's mother thinks they're special. I'm putting pieces of special people in bags."
