This is a story of bravery. . .
This is a story about honor. . .
This is a war story.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor had started, two men, a Lieutenant and a Captain, shall we call them Lieutenant Pierce and Captain Rainbow (My Battlefront II profile name) were running for shelter when they heard the roar of plane engines and the and the repeating blast of machine guns behind them. Both men were dressed in khaki shorts and Hawaiian T-shirts, because it was a Sunday morning and they had no duties. Just half and hour ago they had been celebrating the day over at the local Bar. The two men were in open ground and the nearest shelter was a long ways away. There was no way they would make it to the shelter it time to escape with their lives. They did the only thing they could think of. A few soldiers had already been shot down a few yards away and among them were a few Browning Automatic rifles and a few semi-auto Colts. They both grabbed a rifle and knelt in the dirt. When the planes came back Captain Rainbow turned to Lieutenant Pierce and said "The one on the right, shoot the one on the right!" They unloaded every last shot they had in the rifles on the Japanese Zero's*. One of the pilots in the plane was shot through the head and his plane crashed behind them, the other was completely untouched. They threw down the rifles and took up a colt in each hand. When the other plane came back they unloaded four clips into the plane. This time the pilot had his plane shot through a vital spot in the engine and his plane started to smoke. But Lieutenant Pierce was shot, and killed. Then when the pilot saw Captain Rainbow throw down the colts and pick up the last one in the pile, the pilot decided to find an easier target. The Lieutenant was one of the thousands that gave up their lives at the attack on pearl harbor to secure the blessing of liberty to themselves and their posterity.
