Diary Entry 3:
It has been an exhausting day for everyone in the army. I can say that I learned so many new things in the army this months that I have been here. It made me a real man, a strong person with no other fears. We receive letters from Molly and my mom. I miss them so much. I think every single day of Molly and the baby that is gonna come on the world with us. But at the same time, I met a girl here. Her name is Anna. I didn't have the chance to talk to her a lot. Until.. a tragic accident happened.. She died. I got over her death quite fast, but I was a bit heart-broken for a few days. I fought and fought in the war. Thousands of soldiers were dying daily. Every day I was praying not me to be the one that the life was gonna be taken. I was talking sometimes with my father and looking up at the sky. I knew he was up there protecting us, protecting Molly, mom and Big Joe. Charlie was so lucky. Going back home because someone shot him in the leg. I was at the same time sad but also happy. I knew he was gonna go visit Little Tommy and spend a few days at home and treating well the injury. After he came back bad things happened. That argument with Sergeant Hanley was really bad. He punished him by death. I was destroyed. I felt alone. For another time. He gave me his watch and said to take care of his family, mom and Big Joe after I come back from the war. Sergeant Hanley died as well. He had been blown up by a grenade out in the ranges. They told us that there is going to be soon an almighty push and we're going to be part of it. I will fight for my country. Survive. I have to keep promises. I will never let down Charlie, even tough he is up there with Father, Anna and Bertha.
