“‘June 6, 1918, saw one of the most spectacular bits of fighting that occurred during the Belleau offensive. Two hundred and fifty Marines, facing a terrific machine-gun fire, charged across this wheat field. The wheat, nearly waist high and still very green and dotted with poppies, was their only protection. Of this number only 20 were left to take [the village of] Bouresches, which was held by 300 Germans.’ The capture of Bouresches was one of several incidents that occurred that day in the first wave of American attacks on Belleau Wood.”

Has to be Ernest Timmons. The eyes, the Kevin story, the fucking sweating…the thing that always gets me is the way he whimpers and lets out a “yes, sir!” when the cops put him down and tell him to drop his camera. I don’t know what it is, but I laugh my ass off every time I watch it and I have to keep rewinding it to watch it again. My wife hates it. Haha!
