“Doc Roe was right there, trying to patch us up. Without him, we wouldn’t be alive. Roe was the best medic we ever had. He was born to be a medic. You could always depend on him. You hollered, ‘Medic!” he was right there come hell or high water, he knew what he was doing. He was compassionate, took care of you mentally, physically, every way. They put me on a stretcher before Joe. I said, ‘I told you I’d beat you back to the States,’ and then I passed out.”
